Written and medically reviewed byDr. Güzin Güntekin ✓Medical Microbiology Specialist
Published: Last updated: Towards a pain-free life
Long-lasting joint, muscle and head pain seriously affects quality of life. With methods such as acupuncture and ozone therapy we approach the source of pain holistically and create a personalised treatment plan.
All traditional and complementary medicine methods used at our clinic are approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Complementary methods do not replace existing medical treatment; they support it.
What is chronic pain?
Pain that lasts longer than three months or keeps coming back is defined as chronic pain. Lower back, neck, joint pain and headaches are the most common types.
Chronic pain affects not only the body but also sleep, mood and daily life. That is why a holistic approach to pain is important.
Common complaints
- Lower back and neck pain
- Knee, shoulder and hip pain
- Migraine and tension-type headaches
- Muscle tension and trigger points
- Widespread pain associated with fibromyalgia
Possible causes
- Poor posture and long hours at a desk
- Lumbar and cervical disc herniations
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle tension and stress
- Sports injuries
Our approach
The cause of the pain is assessed and relevant imaging and tests are reviewed. Where surgery or further investigation is needed, you are referred to the appropriate specialist.
A personalised protocol combines methods such as acupuncture, ozone therapy, mesotherapy and cupping with exercise and posture advice.
Everyday advice
See a doctor right away
If any of the following apply, see a doctor or go to an emergency department without delay:
- Progressive weakness or numbness in the legs
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Severe back pain with fever
- A sudden, worst-ever headache
- Pain that starts after an injury
