Few conditions are supposedly as mysterious in cause and effect as back pain, and few diseases can have such a serious impact on our life and everyday routine as those of the spine.

About us
Specialization
Experience
In the successful treatment of spinal disorders, a high degree of specialization makes the crucial difference. In particular, during my many years as head of the Center for Spinal Surgery at the largest German university orthopedic clinic in Heidelberg, I acquired the necessary expertise and experience.

Deformities of the spine
Changes in the shape of the spine can exist from birth, develop during growth, or even occur in adulthood. As a spine specialist and orthopedist in my clinic in Berlin-Mitte in Friedrichstrasse, I treat deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis, among others.
Degenerative spinal disorders
It is not only older people who are affected - spinal disorders can also occur at a young age: wear and tear, poor posture and excessive strain are the most common causes of the corresponding conditions. In my clinic in Friedrichstrasse, as your orthopedist in Berlin-Mitte, I also focus on identifying the causes in this case before a treatment option can be selected.
Deformities in children and adolescents
Even children and adolescents complain of back and lower back pain. In most cases, a lack of exercise is the trigger for these complaints. However, congenital or growth-related malformations as well as changes in shape from initially unexplained causes can also be the cause.
Open and honest. Patients have their say here.
Patient, 32 years old
“It started with pain in my upper arm, back and neck. Something that many people who work at a computer are familiar with. But even after months of physiotherapy, it didn’t stop. Eventually, the diagnosis: a tumor in the cervical spine area. And that at my age, just 32 years old.”

“A big shock, I went in search of a second opinion. That’s how I came to Prof. Dr. Michael Akbar. The best thing that could have happened to me. He is more than excellent. His whole approach was impressive. So factually focused and at the same time empathetic. The surgery was my only chance. I was fully informed at every moment and everything was planned exactly. Modern software support helped to reduce the risks. And he did it. I am incredibly happy to have ended up with him.”
Patient, 80 years old
“I am over 80 years old and had severe problems with scoliosis. I thought I could get it under control with a lot of gymnastics, massage and yoga, as I have always been very sporty. Unfortunately, to no avail. In the end, I even suffered from breathing difficulties and severe pain in my upper abdomen.”

“The only thing that helped was an operation. But at my age, that’s a big risk. Prof. Dr. Michael Akbar has succeeded in giving me a new lease on life. They were very large and risky procedures. Very few people can do this.”
Mother and daughter, 11 years old
“When Caroline was 4 years old, the pediatrician diagnosed her with early-onset scoliosis.
As she grew older, the curvature became more severe and Caroline had a 60-degree curvature of the spine in the thoracic spine area at the age of 11.”

“Today, after the operation, the curvature is only 16 degrees. Thanks to the operation by Prof. Dr. Akbar, who was always a good listener for my daughter and for me.
He took Caroline’s fear and sadness just as seriously as me as a mother full of worry and with my research into alternative surgical methods. He is characterized by a great deal of empathy – and a great deal of expertise, which is state of the art thanks to his continuous training. He simply knows what the right solution is and explains it too.”
UNCOMPROMISING TREATMENT QUALITY.
WHAT MAKES THE CLINIC CONCEPT SPECIAL
The orthopedic clinic for spinal disorders and therapies in Friedrichstrasse in Berlin-Mitte combines the high medical quality and specialist knowledge of a university hospital with the advantages of a private clinic. An exclusive combination where you can enjoy valuable benefits for your health and well-being as well as a few amenities:
Restricting ourselves to the pure symptoms is usually not enough for successful treatment. For this reason, I consider the whole person – with all the complex, often not immediately decipherable mechanisms of the body, including posture, muscles, bones, joints and, last but not least, the psyche – not only, but particularly intensively during the anamnesis.
With experience and expertise, I treat and operate on the entire spectrum of spinal disorders in my clinic in Friedrichstrasse – in adults as well as in children. And the individually optimal solution is always my aim as your orthopedist in Berlin-Mitte.
Effective and promising treatment of spinal disorders requires a great deal of experience, specialist skills, sound knowledge and precise techniques – which is why my focus is on deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis and degenerative spinal disorders such as herniated discs and arthrosis.
