Clinical focus

Spine health is a central part of Mehmet Yakupçebioğlu’s clinical work. He sees patients with neck disc herniation and lumbar disc herniation, as well as postural and alignment changes of the spine such as loss of cervical lordosis and lumbar hypolordosis. Rehabilitation in these cases is planned around the individual’s symptoms, mobility, and functional goals, and is reviewed as the patient progresses.

He also works with patients who have sports injuries and knee injuries, and with soft-tissue and pain-related conditions including piriformis syndrome, myalgia, fibromyalgia, and frozen shoulder syndrome. For these conditions, the rehabilitation approach is generally directed at reducing discomfort, restoring range of motion, and supporting a gradual return to normal activity. The specific program depends on the findings of the clinical assessment and on the patient’s overall situation; not every approach is suitable for every patient, and expectations are discussed openly during the assessment.

How Mehmet Yakupçebioğlu works with international patients

Mehmet Yakupçebioğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination with attention to mobility and function, and a discussion of the rehabilitation options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up where an in-person examination is not required at that stage. Any plan is individualized, and its suitability is confirmed only after the clinical assessment has been completed.
