Our team

Our team combines many years of experience in orthopedics and trauma surgery, sports medicine, manual medicine, imaging, physiotherapy and practice management. The aim is to clarify musculoskeletal problems in a structured manner and, if possible, treat them without surgery - if medically justifiable. We only arrange operations if conservative measures have been exhausted and there are clear indications.

• Specialists in orthopedics and trauma surgery
• Specialists in sports medicine, manual medicine and pain therapy
• Physiotherapeutic team with a focus on active rehabilitation
• Medical assistants, practice management and administration
• Diagnostics with sonography, digital X-rays and reliable cooperation partners for MRI/CT

Our doctors cover the spectrum of conservative orthopedics. We work based on guidelines, take your individual goals into account and provide transparent information about benefits, risks and alternatives. If symptoms persist, we coordinate closely with family doctors and other disciplines.

• Conservative orthopedics: back, shoulder, knee, hip, foot & ankle, hand & elbow
• Sports medicine: overload, return to sport, prevention
• Manual medicine/chirotherapy: Identify functional disorders and treat them specifically
• Pain medicine: step-by-step plans according to current recommendations
• Imaging: Structured, reserved and functional

We offer regenerative procedures (e.g. PRP) selectively and after careful indication if basic conservative measures are not effective enough. There is a clear explanation of the study situation, realistic expectations and costs.

Therapeutic continuity is crucial. Our therapy and diagnostics team accompanies you from the diagnosis through active rehabilitation to the return to everyday life, work and sport.

• Physiotherapy and medical training therapy with a focus on activation, strength and coordination
• Manual techniques to improve function, always combined with exercises to do at home
• Specific return-to-activity program after injury or overuse
• Sonography of the musculoskeletal system for the dynamic assessment of tendons, muscles and joints
• Digital X-ray with clear indication; MRI/CT via established Hamburg partners

We define therapy goals together. We record progress in a comprehensible way - with simple activity and function scores that reflect your everyday life.

Our reception and organization team is your first point of contact. We structure appointments, remind you if requested, coordinate findings and support you with questions about referrals or prescriptions for medicines.

• Appointment planning including follow-up and control appointments
• Interface with radiology and OR partners as required
• Data protection-compliant findings management
• Email communication for organizational matters
• Recipe and prescription management within the framework of the specifications

We follow the principle: as much as necessary, as little as possible. First there is a thorough medical history and physical examination. Imaging is used in a targeted manner and only when relevant questions are asked. Therapy begins based on evidence with active, conservative measures and is gradually adjusted.

• Understanding: complaints, goals, stress profile
• Examine: function, strength, mobility, sources of pain
• Assess: Benefit-risk assessment for diagnostics and therapy
• Treat: exercise programs, manual medicine, pain therapy, everyday adjustments
• Supplement: If necessary, injections or regenerative procedures with information
• Networking: Cooperation with radiology, surgery or pain medicine, if appropriate
• Assess: progress, goal adjustment, return to activity

A clear process creates security. This is what a typical visit to our practice looks like:

• Arrive and check-in at reception with insurance card and previous findings.
• Anamnesis: structured recording of your complaints, previous illnesses and goals.
• Clinical examination: functional and provocation tests.
• Discussion: understandable explanation of the findings and further action.
• Therapy planning: exercises, everyday strategies, if necessary manual medicine or injections according to indication.
• Diagnostics: if necessary, referral for imaging with questions.
• Follow-up care: check-up appointment, adjustment of the exercise program, progress measurement.

• Please bring any existing findings/images (CD/link) with you.
• Comfortable clothing makes examination and functional testing easier.
• Please have your medication plan and relevant allergies ready.

Medicine is evolving – so are we. Further training, guideline work and internal quality circles are an integral part of our practice. We work with structured checklists and document comprehensibly.

• Guideline-oriented diagnostics and therapy
• Regular training and further education for the entire team
• Evidence-based selection of therapies and aids
• Safety and hygiene protocols according to current standards
• Transparent information without promises of cure

Good medicine depends on conversation. We explain clearly, leave room for questions and decide together. We translate findings into recommendations that are relevant to everyday life - so that you know what you can actively contribute.

• Calm, structured educational discussions
• Written training and exercise plans to take with you
• Short reports for family doctors upon request
• Appointment options for working people during office hours

For complex cases, teamwork beyond the boundaries of the practice is important. We cooperate with Hamburg radiology departments, pain doctors, physiotherapy practices and – if necessary – experienced surgeons. This keeps paths short and agreements clear.

• Radiology (MRI/CT) with targeted questions
• Physiotherapy network for further treatment close to home
• Surgical partners if there is a clear indication for surgery
• Exchange with family doctors for holistic care

We treat people of all ages with musculoskeletal problems – from acute injuries to chronic stress syndromes. We adapt therapy and goals to the phase of life, everyday life and level of sport.

• People who are active in sports and those returning to sports
• Working people with back, neck and shoulder problems
• Seniors with osteoarthritis or unsteady gait
• Adolescents and young adults with sports-related complaints
