Ozone therapy can be applied to diabetic patients, non-healing wounds, chronic fatigue and circulatory disorders, and immune system problems.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy can be applied in the treatment of almost all problems arising from the musculoskeletal systems. All diseases in which physical therapy can be applied also fall within the scope of manual therapy. Manual therapy methods, which are mainly used in the treatment of herniated disc, are divided into three groups:

  • Joint mobilization,
  • Ger and count.

The treatment method and the number of sessions to be applied are determined by the physician according to the type and condition of the disease.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most preferred treatment methods among complementary and alternative medicine methods. With acupuncture, it is aimed to activate the pain relief points in the body, together with the needles to activate the endorphin hormone and thus to provide the feeling of pain relief.

In fact, the most basic purpose of acupuncture treatment is that patients can get rid of their diseases without taking any medication. For example, acupuncture has the following effect on the treatment of pain caused by herniated disc: The acupuncture needle is inserted into the valium point in the auricle region. The resulting gaba secretion creates an extremely strong muscle relaxant effect.

Thanks to this procedure, the muscle spasm in the lumbar region is resolved and there is no need to take painkillers or muscle relaxants. With acupuncture treatment, not only hernia, but also many diseases that require the use of muscle relaxants and painkillers can be treated.

Today, alternative medicine methods continue to be actively used. Of course, these methods should be applied with the advice of a doctor, not with hearsay information.
