Treatments for foot and ankle complaints
I treat a wide range of foot malfunctions and injuries using individually tailored conservative and surgical procedures.
Would you like a treatment concept that is based on the latest scientific findings on the biomechanics of the foot and ankle and is individually tailored to your needs?
The concept I have developed aims to restore the natural function and statics of the foot, based on research findings from foot and ankle biomechanics that have been published in international journals.
