Clinical focus

Ezgi Nur Çiçek supports the care of patients with musculoskeletal and spinal complaints. Her areas of expertise include sports injuries and knee injuries, where rehabilitation is planned around the patient’s symptoms, functional needs, and recovery goals. She also works with patients affected by frozen shoulder, piriformis syndrome, and facet joint syndrome, conditions in which pain and restricted movement are often the main concerns addressed in a rehabilitation program.

Spinal conditions form a further part of her practice. These include cervical disc herniation, lumbar disc herniation, reduced cervical lordosis, and lumbar hypolordosis, conditions affecting the alignment and structures of the neck and lower back. In addition, she works with patients with fibromyalgia and contributes to pain management within the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation service. The suitability of any rehabilitation approach depends on the individual assessment, existing findings, and the treatments a patient has already received.

How Ezgi Nur Çiçek works with international patients

Ezgi Nur Çiçek speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, although a full assessment of physical function and mobility generally requires an in-person examination. Patients can expect an assessment focused on their symptoms, functional needs, and rehabilitation goals.
