A person usually walks more than 100,000 kilometres in the course of their life. So the feet are among the most stressed parts of the body. It is not surprising that foot pain is one of the most common orthopaedic disorders. The causes can usually only be recognised by an experience specialist. Because the feet are also one of the most complex organs for movement in humans.
Dr. med. André Morawe is an internationally renowned specialist with many years of experience with more than 12,000 performed procedures in the field of foot and ankle surgery. It is his primary concern to understand the patient as a person with their different needs and to restore their original mobility and independence.
