We would like to briefly inform you about the treatments to be performed on you in our institution and the methods of their application.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR TREATMENT PROGRAM AND FOLLOW-UPS?
After examination by our doctor in the outpatient clinic, the regions or regions to be treated are determined. A special treatment program card is created for you. With this card, your examination findings and treatment form are delivered to our physiotherapists and technicians who will apply your treatment after your appointment time is determined.
Your treatment card is created in such a way that it is complete and not open to any practitioner's interpretation. Therefore, although it is rare; If our therapist who takes care of you changes in the face of an emergency, there will be no change in the treatment application. If there is enough time, you will be notified by phone before treatment.
There are many different methods in your physical therapy and rehabilitation program. These treatment methods include hot and cold applications that are effective in superficial tissue, used to heat and cool the tissue when necessary. Ultrasound, which provides warming in the deep tissue and has a massage effect as of the way it is applied, is another physical therapy method.
In addition, a painkiller and edema-relieving electrical currents are applied from the skin surface through self-adhesive electrodes. Each patient has their own electrodes. When you arrive at the first session of your treatment, the electrode that has never been used is turned on and placed in a small package. Your name is written on the package. You can keep this package yourself if you wish. Otherwise, the electrotherapy is stored in our unit by your therapist.
In addition to these standard treatment methods, different treatment methods can be applied in our center according to your medical condition such as laser applications, magnetic field therapy, spinal decompression device, vortex bath and galvanic bath, ESWT, pneumatical compression. In addition to all this, there are exercise programs tailored for you. Some patients may need exercise programs more in addition to the above-mentioned physical therapy methods.

Interventional and algological pain techniques can also be applied to your complaints before or after your treatment. In such a case, you will be given detailed information by your doctor.
HOW TO SET YOUR APPOINTMENT TIMES
Although your requests are taken into account first, you are given an appointment time in light of the session hours of our other patients entering the treatment and the functioning schedule of our hospital. Appointments are made on the hourly hours. Treatments usually range from at least 1 hour to 1.5 hours depending on each patient's condition. Your treatment hours will be applied between the same hours every day unless it is a necessary condition.
Physiotherapists or technicians who follow the treatment plan have new patients at the beginning of each hour. Therefore, it is extremely important that you arrive at your treatment on time so that there are no disruptions to your treatment program and the next patient' treatment program.
If it is late, depending on the intensity of your treatment or due to the patients who will receive treatment after you, you may not be able to take the session or you may have to wait. Therefore, we strongly ask that you pay attention to your session hours. You can find detailed information about your treatment session on the latest page of this guide.
