Chronic pain Treatment in Medicana Sivas Hospital

Medicana Sivas Hospital in Türkiye offers treatment for chronic pain. They provide two main medical packages. A minimally invasive injection may cost around $750, while a surgical procedure can be around $2,850. All diagnostics and planning are overseen by the head of the Neurosurgery Department, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Gürelik.

Chronic Pain Diagnostics

The treatment journey begins with a complete diagnostic workup. This is included in both treatment packages. Patients receive a medical consultation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. An MRI scan is crucial for accurate diagnosis. It helps determine the exact source of spinal or nerve pain.

Available Treatment Options

The clinic offers two distinct treatment paths. The choice depends on the MRI findings and the patient's specific condition.

• Transforaminal Epidural Injection: This is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure. A corticosteroid medication is injected near the affected spinal nerves. It helps reduce inflammation and pain. This package typically runs $750. It includes a one-day hospital stay and services for one accompanying person.
• Lumbar Discectomy: This is a minimally invasive surgery. It is performed for more severe cases, like a herniated disc pressing on a nerve. The surgeon removes the damaged portion of the disc to relieve pressure. The package for this procedure may cost around $2,850. It covers the operation, anesthesia, and a 1-2 day hospital stay.

Treatment Package Inclusions

Both medical packages are designed to be comprehensive. They include essential medical and logistical support.

• Full diagnostic tests: consultation, lab work, MRI, and radiology.
