Welcome to Our Dietitian Support Program
According to the information in classical medicine books, abnormal blood values in vitamin D, zinc, magnesium or calcium levels are associated with pectus deformities. In addition, chest deformities can reduce the volume of the rib cage and put pressure on the esophagus and the upper part of the stomach. As a result of this, problems such as excessive reflux, gastritis, early hunger and early satiety, less eating and weakness occur. If you pay attention, you will see that most of the pectus deformity patients around you are also weak.
​
In order to achieve this balance, dietitian support is very important in patients with pectus. In addition, while undertaking to be a "Hercules", among the responsibilities we expect from the patient, besides doing sports with a physiotherapist, there is also proper nutrition that will enlarge the muscles so that he can see the result of this sport.
We are able to achieve great results by providing expert dietitian support that will provide you with all these.
