Great interest in Complementary Medicine Practices at Tuzla State Hospital

The ozone therapy, acupuncture, cupping and mesotherapy methods applied at the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (GETAT) Center, which operates within the Tuzla State Hospital, are of great interest to patients. In the center, where patients with chronic diseases in particular apply, treatments are continued with supportive methods. The most preferred methods in the hospital are ozone therapy and acupuncture. While major, minor and bagging methods are applied in ozone therapy, acupuncture is performed in 7-session programs as general body acupuncture.

Tuncay Bayrak, 65, who received ozone therapy at the center, stated that he was pleased with the treatment and said, "I receive 7 hours of back ozone therapy. I see great benefits. I feel more vigorous and stronger. I used to be unable to even climb stairs, now I can do it more easily. I don't get tired. It's a really good treatment, I recommend it to everyone with peace of mind."

"My appetite has decreased, I don't want to eat anything"

A patient named Hatice Önder, who attended the acupuncture session, stated that her appetite decreased and she felt better after the treatment. Önder said, "I am in the second session, but my appetite has almost completely disappeared. I do not want to eat anything right now. I feel better, more vigorous. I would also like to thank our teacher."

"We support healing processes with complementary practices"

Providing information about the applied treatment methods, Tuzla State Hospital General Practitioner Dr. Fatih Erkan Çam said, "We perform acupuncture, ozone therapy, cupping and mesotherapy applications in our clinic. The most frequently preferred applications are acupuncture and ozone therapy. We can use acupuncture for almost any disease. We apply it especially to patients who apply for weight loss and pain management. Our patients generally consist of people who have been treated in many clinics due to their current diseases but have not found a complete solution. Here, we perform complementary applications to support their current medical treatments and accelerate their healing processes."

Stating that they apply ozone therapy with major, minor and bagging methods, Çam said, "The bagging method is very effective especially in diabetic foot wounds and chronic wound treatment. We have healed many of our patients without surgery. Apart from this, we also apply ozone therapy to our patients who want to control weakness, fatigue, immune system and diabetes." Stating that they generally apply cupping therapy for detox purposes, Çam said, "We get very good results especially in patients with chronic diseases." Stating that they apply mesotherapy applications only for pain treatments, Çam emphasized that they achieve successful results in joint, muscle and migraine type pain.

"The most comprehensive GETAT center on the Anatolian Side"

Dr. Çam stated that the sessions proceed in a scheduled manner and that they work with an appointment system, and said, "We apply acupuncture treatment with 7-session programs and ozone treatment with packages of at least 10 sessions, twice a week. Complementary treatments are preferred especially for patients who have not been able to fully recover with medical treatments. I can say that we are the most comprehensive GETAT center on the Anatolian Side as Tuzla State Hospital." Stating that a contribution fee is taken for some procedures in the applications carried out within the scope of SGK, Dr. Çam said that the sessions last an average of 30 minutes.
