What is a Transaction?

Algology is a field of treatment that aims to find the cause of long-standing (chronic) pain and to alleviate it. Doctors specializing in pain management use various methods to help patients cope with pain and improve their quality of life. This treatment process aims to find the source of the pain and determine appropriate treatment methods.

How is it done?

At our Algology Clinic in Cigli, Izmir, patients with pain complaints are evaluated in detail. First, the doctor listens to the patient’s complaints and medical history. Then, a physical examination is performed and, if necessary, the cause of the pain is investigated with imaging methods (X-ray, MRI, CT) and laboratory tests. As a result of these evaluations, the source of the pain is identified and the most appropriate treatment plan is created for the patient. Each treatment is customized according to the patient’s needs.
