    Did you know that your feet really make a difference?
    They carry you around the world three times in your life, so to speak. That's why it's so important to be good on your feet from an early age. At the Hellersen Sports Clinic, we therefore pay the greatest attention to children's feet.

    Starting with the surgical correction of children's flat feet, corrections of foot and forefoot deformities such as hallux valgus, ankle joint surgery and the use of ligaments to stabilize the joints.

    Our foot and ankle surgery team has many years of experience in the conservative and surgical treatment of diseases and deformities of the foot and ankle - in children and adults.

    Individual treatment tailored to the patient is always the focus of our work.
