What is Pain Relief?
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain patients are planned in INTOURHEALTH (Algology) Clinics
Pain Clinics plans to provide diagnosis and treatment services to patients with chronic pain with a multidisciplinary approach.
After the examination of the patients who applied to the Pain Clinic, diagnostic examinations are made with the participation of the relevant departments. Patients are informed about the source of the pain and treatment options are determined and their treatments are started.
Pain is a very common occurrence. As people age, the occurrence of pain increases and women are more likely to experience pain than men.
Pain types can be grouped under two main headings. These are acute pain and chronic pain.
Acute Pain: Pain that occurs as a result of injury or impact.
Chronic Pain: Used for long-standing pain types.
These pains can be short-term and severe, or they may continue in a stable way. In the planning of pain treatment, it is determined that it is primarily chronic or acute. After that
Pain medications
Physical therapies (such as hot or cold therapy, massage, hydrotherapy and exercise)
Psychological therapies

There are many factors that can cause pain.
