Dr. Gizem Adlı Reviews

A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Tuzla presented with severe bilateral hip osteoarthritis and a stooped posture he called 'the crane operator's hunch.' His treatment involved not only aquatic therapy and corticosteroid injections, but also a custom-designed posture-correcting exoskeleton vest that Dr. Adlı co-developed with biomedical engineers, allowing him to stand upright for the first time in 15 years during his granddaughter's wedding.

A 19-year-old nationally-ranked e-sports athlete developed complex regional pain syndrome type I in his dominant hand after a minor keyboard adjustment injury. Dr. Adlı created a virtual reality rehabilitation program that mirrored his game environments, using haptic feedback gloves to gradually desensitize nerves while maintaining cognitive gaming skills. He returned to competition in 5 months with modified ergonomics.

A 34-year-old Syrian refugee and former tailor, now working in a textile factory, presented with severe bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and PTSD-related muscle guarding. Dr. Adlı combined nerve gliding exercises with trauma-informed somatic therapy, teaching him to use sewing motions as therapeutic movement. His treatment was partially funded through a hospital program for displaced workers.

A 41-year-old female deep-sea diver from the Marmara region developed dysbaric osteonecrosis in her shoulders. Dr. Adlı pioneered a hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol combined with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, creating a rehabilitation plan synchronized with simulated dive pressure changes. She returned to commercial diving at reduced depths after 11 months.
