Patient Experience
After my 12-year-old son's complicated skateboarding fracture that three other clinics said would require surgery and leave him with limited mobility, Dr. Velioğlu was our last hope. He designed a completely non-invasive physiotherapy protocol using specialized myofascial release techniques and aquatic therapy at Adana Ortopedia's rehabilitation pool. Within eight weeks, my son was not only walking without pain but returned to his skateboard team. The doctor's approach with children is remarkable—he speaks to them directly, explains everything in terms they understand, and even remembered my son's favorite soccer team. We avoided surgery entirely because of his innovative thinking.
As a 78-year-old farmer with chronic lower back pain from decades of labor, I'd seen many doctors who just prescribed painkillers. Dr. Velioğlu spent an hour during my initial consultation actually watching how I walk and move, something no one had done before. He identified a specific pelvic rotation pattern from years of uneven lifting. His treatment combined manual therapy with practical exercises I could do right in my field during breaks. He even modified tools for my daily tasks. After three months, I'm tending my olive groves without the constant ache that plagued me for 20 years. His holistic understanding of how the body works in real life, not just in theory, changed everything.
Following emergency spinal decompression surgery after a construction site accident, my rehabilitation prognosis was grim—doctors said I might never walk properly again. Dr. Velioğlu took over my post-surgical care with what I can only describe as relentless optimism and scientific precision. He created a phased recovery plan using Adana Ortopedia's advanced robotic gait training system, combined with neural mobilization techniques I'd never heard of. What stood out was how he coordinated with my neurosurgeon, updating him weekly with detailed progress metrics. Six months later, I'm not just walking—I'm climbing stairs and returning to light work. His ability to manage complex post-surgical cases with such meticulous attention is extraordinary.
I visited Dr. Velioğlu for what I thought was a routine shoulder checkup after a minor rotator cuff strain from swimming. Instead of a quick examination, he discovered through detailed movement analysis that my shoulder issue was actually stemming from a thoracic spine restriction and compromised breathing patterns. He explained the kinetic chain connection in such clear terms, using a skeleton model in his office. The treatment involved diaphragmatic breathing retraining alongside manual therapy—completely different from any physio I'd ever received. Within four sessions, not only was my shoulder pain gone, but my swimming times improved because my breathing was more efficient. He turns routine visits into profound learning experiences about your own body.
