In medicine, pain treatments should always proceed step by step. The majority of neck, herniated discs, knee, shoulder and coccyx pain can be treated without the need for surgery. Physical therapy, manual therapy applications and sportive rehabilitation approach, injection treatments with Ultrasonography, MRI and Computed Tomography in our center give very good results even in advanced painful conditions. Surgical treatments can only be considered in cases of significant traumas, accidents and resistant to treatment.

In the early stages of a coccyx injury, a doctor's examination and X-rays (except for children and pregnant women) are absolutely necessary. As a first precaution, you should reduce sitting time as much as possible and use a special pillow. This reduces the load on the bone and the pain. You can also take anti-edema medication in the dose and duration recommended by your doctor. Since there may be fractures or dislocations in the coccyx, manual treatment may be required externally or intra-articularly, depending on the doctor's decision. Since the findings vary according to the patient, manual treatment should be performed by a physician specialized in this field.

Medicine is one of the broadest fields of science, so many different treatment methods have been discovered. My treatment approach is to integrate both modern medicine and traditional methods. We apply physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions, osteopathic medicine, manual therapy, dry needling, personalized exercise sessions, acupuncture to our patients. When necessary, we perform injections into the shoulder, knee, neck area and lumbar canal, coccyx, sacroiliac and hip joints with ultrasonography or computed tomography.
