Clinical focus

Yusuf Mücahit Turan’s practice centers on physical medicine and rehabilitation, with a particular focus on spine health. Within this area, his work involves the assessment of patients referred for rehabilitation and the delivery of physiotherapy as part of an overall treatment plan. Rehabilitation programs are generally shaped around the individual patient’s condition, symptoms, and functional goals, and progress is reviewed over the course of treatment. Because rehabilitation often follows or accompanies other medical or surgical care, the physiotherapy component is typically coordinated with the treating physicians in the unit.

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are also listed among his broader areas of expertise beyond the spine. General information about rehabilitation services described on this site, including robotic rehabilitation and osteoarthritis treatment, is available on the linked pages. Whether a specific approach is appropriate for a given patient can only be determined after a clinical assessment, as suitability depends on the diagnosis, the stage of the condition, and the patient’s overall health.

How Yusuf Mücahit Turan works with international patients

Yusuf Mücahit Turan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For international patients, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and 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, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient abroad to speak with Yusuf Mücahit Turan before deciding whether to travel; an in-person examination may still be needed before a rehabilitation plan can be finalized.
