Algology for Chronic Pain: Touch Life Again

What is Algology?

Algology is one of the specialties of Metropol Health Group and is a treatment area that aims to find the cause of long-standing (chronic) pain and alleviate this pain. Our experienced specialists in pain treatment apply personalized methods to help patients cope with pain and improve their quality of life. During the treatment process, the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans are created by getting to the root of the pain.

At Metropol Health Group’s centers throughout Izmir, patients with pain complaints are evaluated in detail. The process works as follows:

• Pain Analysis: In the first stage, the patient’s complaints and medical history are carefully listened to.
• Physical Examination and Tests: Imaging techniques such as X-ray, MRI or CT and laboratory tests are performed when necessary.
