It utilizes targeted therapies that reduce disc pressure, alleviate pain, and improve spinal mobility for long-term relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epidural steroid injections and nerve blocks are common minimally invasive options. They reduce inflammation around the compressed nerve roots, providing significant pain relief and enabling patients to return to daily activities more comfortably.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiofrequency ablation and ozone therapy are innovative techniques. These approaches shrink herniated disc tissue, decompress nerves, and restore function, making them effective alternatives for patients avoiding surgical intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imaging guidance with MRI or fluoroscopy ensures precision in non-surgical disc herniation treatment. Accurate localization of the affected disc improves safety, enhances outcomes, and minimizes risks associated with traditional surgical approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_816862818\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-542972643\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1672598115\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#1c58ef;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-913823855\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1921545062\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover border-gorsel x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1493223395\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Interventional-Radiology-and-Neuroradiology-Doctor-Specialist-1024x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology Doctor Specialist\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Interventional-Radiology-and-Neuroradiology-Doctor-Specialist-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Interventional-Radiology-and-Neuroradiology-Doctor-Specialist-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Interventional-Radiology-and-Neuroradiology-Doctor-Specialist-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Interventional-Radiology-and-Neuroradiology-Doctor-Specialist.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1493223395 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1921545062 > .col-inner {\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-610148864\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-3273780276\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p><strong>Prof. Dr. \u00d6zg\u00fcr KILI\u00c7KESMEZ<br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 65%;\"><em>Interventional Radiology \/ Interventional Neuroradiology<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3273780276 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-3273780276 {\n    font-size: 2rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>Prof. Dr. K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7kesmez holds the Turkish Radiology Competency Certificate, the Turkish Interventional Radiology Competency Certificate, Stroke Treatment Certification, and the European Board of Interventional Radiology (EBIR).
