Are you experiencing symptoms of degenerative disc disease? Degenerative disc disease, or DDD, refers to the gradual deterioration of spinal discs over time. These discs, located between the vertebrae in the spinal column, serve a vital role in absorbing shocks and facilitating comfortable movement, bending, and twisting. Disc degeneration is a natural part of the aging process and will affect all individuals as they grow older. The most common symptoms of DDD are neck pain and lower back pain. Pain symptoms may 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 activities like sitting, bending or lifting. For those experiencing symptoms of DDD, Dr. Semih Gungor has treatment options that can help provide relief.

When should you see an interventional pain specialist? Everyone experiences neck or back pain at some point in their lives. Most of the time, there are simple reasons for this pain, such as overuse injuries. Brief rest, activity modification and simple over-the-counter pain medications may be all you need. However, if the pain does not improve after approximately 4-7 days, further investigation by a clinician may be required. If there is still no significant improvement following physical therapy or medications, it’s necessary to involve an interventional pain specialist to evaluate your condition. Interventional pain medicine specialists may be able to figure out and treat the cause of your pain, and direct you for the right treatment options after determining the most likely source of pain. Interventional pain management is different from other pain management because it emphasizes the importance of a precise diagnosis so treatment can begin immediately.

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to the gradual deterioration of the spinal discs, which are flexible cushions located between the bones in the spinal column. These discs serve as shock absorbers and enable smooth movement, bending, and twisting. Pain caused by DDD may be intermittent, lasting for weeks or months, and it can lead to numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. Additionally, the pain may radiate down the lower back and buttocks, and it may worsen when sitting, bending, or lifting. The underlying cause of degenerative disc disease is the natural aging process, which results in the gradual deterioration of spinal discs. Minor injuries can cause small cracks in the spinal discs, often near nerves. Even if these tears are minor, they can still cause pain.The pain associated with degenerative disc disease can manifest in the neck or lower back and may extend to the arms, hands, buttocks, and legs. Contact Dr. Semih Gungor today to find out more about DDD and the treatments available. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp

Are you experiencing neck, shoulder, or arm pain due to a pinched nerve in your cervical or lumbar spine? Common causes include herniated disks, spinal stenosis, or radiculopathy. An epidural steroid injection may provide relief. During this procedure, an anti-inflammatory medication is 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. If you have been suffering from chronic back, neck, or leg pain, an epidural steroid injection could help. To determine if you may benefit from this treatment option, please contact Dr. Semih Gungor to schedule a consultation. We are happy to evaluate your condition and discuss whether epidural injections may help provide relief for your spinal pain. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative type of regenerative medicine that accelerates the body's natural healing process, aiding in faster recovery from orthopedic injuries. PRP therapy promotes the healing of acute or chronic orthopedic injuries and provides relief from associated pain. PRP therapy is beneficial not only for professional athletes but also for individuals dealing with injuries, arthritis, or other joint and musculoskeletal problems. By increasing the concentration of growth factors in the affected area, PRP therapy jumpstarts and enhances the body's natural healing mechanisms. One of the greatest advantages of PRP therapy is its natural and safe. The treatment utilizes the patient's own blood components and as a result, PRP therapy has minimal side effects. Additionally, PRP therapy does not require extensive incisions, making it minimally invasive. To learn more about PRP contact Dr. Semih Gungor today to find out if you're a candidate. https://www.hss.edu/physicians_gungor-semih.asp
