Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt
Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt (; born 12 August 1942 in
Leerhafe, today part of
Wittmund,
East Frisia) is a German
orthopedist. He gained recognition for his roles as
Germany national football team doctor (1995–2018) and club doctor of
Bayern Munich (1977–2015, 2017–2020). He initially resigned after him and his medical staff were blamed for a 3–1 loss to
Porto in a
UEFA Champions League match during the tenure of coach
Pep Guardiola, but he rejoined after the reappointment of
Jupp Heynckes as head coach. Having already resigned from his position at the
Germany national football team in 2018, his second and final resignation at Bayern Munich also came into effect on the 30th of June 2020.
Many of the German doctor's treatments are seen as controversial, including using injections of a substance called
Hyalart, extracted from the crest of cockerels, which is claimed to help lubricate knee injuries and take away the pain. He has also injected Myo-Melcain, which is the painkiller
Procaine in a honey solution, or
Actovegin into patients' muscles.
Müller-Wohlfahrt's use of
homeopathic medicine to treat players is also controversial.
