Do you have chronic pain in your neck, shoulder, or arm due to pinched nerves in the cervical or lumbar spine? You may be a candidate for epidural steroid injections. Common causes of this type of pain include a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. The treatment involves an injection of an anti-inflammatory medication administered into the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves. This works to decrease pressure and swelling, which may be exacerbating pain. Epidural steroid injections have been shown to successfully reduce inflammation and associated pain. To determine if this treatment option is appropriate, please contact Dr. Semih Gungor to schedule a consultation and find out if epidural steroid injections can help.

Nerve Block Injections offer an effective treatment for Chronic Pain Management. If you suffer from chronic pain, you may be a candidate for a nerve block injection. This procedure utilizes imaging technology to precisely locate the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. Then, a medication is injected directly into the targeted nerve area. The goal is to interrupt pain signaling or decrease inflammation, allowing the body an opportunity to heal. Contact Dr. Semih Gungor to determine if a nerve block injection could provide relief for your chronic pain. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp

If you suffer from spinal stenosis, it means that the bony canals - or the passageways - through which your nerves and spinal cord travel have become narrowed. This can be caused by arthritis, which causes the facet joints and ligaments to become enlarged and thicker. This in turn restricts the space for the nerves, leading to inflammation and resulting in symptoms like pain, numbness or weakness. This condition is most often acquired due to age-related degeneration of the spine or traumatic injury to the spine.

Are you a candidate for Trigger Point Injections? Trigger point injections may provide relief for patients experiencing myofascial pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, or back. Trigger points are hypersensitive knots that can develop within muscles. When present, they can cause localized or referred pain. During a trigger point injection, a medication is administered directly into the trigger point using a small needle. This works to temporarily deactivate the trigger point. If you have been experiencing deep muscle pain that will not resolve through rest, medication, or physical therapy, trigger point injections may be a worthwhile option to explore. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Semih Gungor to determine if you are a good candidate for this minimally invasive pain relief procedure. Addressing and deactivating trigger points can help improve mobility and quality of life. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to the gradual deterioration of spinal discs. These discs, which serve as flexible cushions between the vertebrae in the spinal column, play a vital role in absorbing shocks and facilitating comfortable movement, bending, and twisting. The most common symptoms of DDD are neck pain and back pain. Pain can come and go, lasting for weeks or months. Numbness, or tingling may occur in the arms or legs. Pain may also radiate down the buttocks or lower back and worsen with sitting, bending or lifting. Dr. Semih Gungor has treatment options that can help address degenerative disc disease and its associated symptoms. Please contact us for more information. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp

Facet joints are small joints located at each segment of the spine that provide stability and assist in guiding movement. Facet joint pain can result from wear and tear over time, the natural aging process, injury, or misuse. You may qualify for facet joint injections to diminish inflammation and pain in the target region. During this procedure, an anesthetic and corticosteroid are administered into the joint to validate whether it is the source of your discomfort. Find out if you're a candidate for facet joint injections and talk to a specialist at Dr. Semih Gungor for an evaluation! https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp
