OSTEOPATHIC AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

I am osteopathic doctor and functional medicine specialist, with a double medical degree: in osteopathic medicine and masters in physiotherapy with post diploma in functional medicine. I have 10+ years of clinical experience, treated thousands of patients in Europe, South-East Asia and Middle East.

​

As a diagnostician my treatment process depends on the result of diagnosis made, based on the osteopathy and functional medicine foundations of finding and treating the root cause of the disease.

​

CURRENT CLINIC WORK

In 2023 I settled down in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where I received a medical license from Dubai Health Authority, among 60 osteopaths licensed in UAE and joined the team in the oldest osteopathy clinic in the Gulf, Osteopathic Health Centre, clinic with over 25. years of heritage, where I keep on developing my practice in integrative medicine approach with multidisciplinary team, as osteopath and functional medicine specialist. I continue on giving online functional medicine consultations. I am certified as functional medicine specialist by the biggest and only board certified Institute for Functional Medicine, U.S. among only 16 other functional medicine specialist in UAEhttps://www.ifm.org/practitioners/karolina-domaranczyk/ 

REINVENTING CLINIC WORK

Apart from treating, in 2019 I envisioned, developed and launched as a medical director, an innovative clinic for integrative medicine in Warsaw, Poland. In 2014 I collaborated on envisioning and opening the first clinic for lifestyle medicine in Warsaw, Poland.

​

In years 2020 - 2023 I was practicing osteopathy in pop-up clinic formula, as a nomad osteopath - I opened pop-ups in Sri Lanka, Bali, Spain and Poland. As for the functional medicine practice, I've been actively giving online consultations for patients around the world.​

​​

EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE

At my osteopathic practice, I work integratively, including all the three branches of osteopathy - parietal, cranial and visceral.

As a functional medicine specialist, I base my diagnostic process and treatment on: mitochondrial medicine, microbiology, biohacking, breathing and stress management methods, longevity research and integrative medicine approach.

 

specialise in metabolic conditions, GI dysfunctions, autoimmune conditions, sleep deprivations, anxiety, depression and headaches.

​

ACADEMIC WORK

I have been honoured to become an academic private junior assistant for Valeria’s Ferreira student’s visceral courses for Osteopathie Schule Deutschland. Before that I became the youngest academic assistant for cranial osteopathy courses for Osteopathie Schule Deutschland. I used to provide consecutive translations for anatomy classes.

​

HUMANITARIAN WORK

In 2020 I envisioned and brought to life a Humanitarian Project for American NGO ElephantsNow.org, a project that provides osteopathic healthcare services for people in rural areas of Sri Lanka struggling with human-elephant conflict.

HOW IT BEGAN? MY MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE

I discovered my osteopathy calling back in 2011 after spending six months in a Japanese school in the middle of the forest in Denmark where I practised zen and budo with my Master Ko. Coming from a family of medical doctors, anatomy and diagnostics has always been an interest of mine. I've been cultivating on following my purpose to help people access their best health, believing that health is available to everyone if we know how to approach our anatomy.
