Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ferhat Gökmen is a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation offering diagnostic and non-surgical therapeutic services for musculoskeletal disorders, spine problems, and persistent pain conditions. Located in Kayseri, his private practice focuses on combining clinical knowledge accumulated over nearly 15 years with interventional, technological, and complementary medical modalities tailored to each individual.
Academic Background and Career Milestones
Dr. Gökmen earned his medical degree from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine in 2006 and completed his specialty training in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the same institution in 2011. In 2012, he joined the academic staff of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine. During his tenure there, he also served as deputy chief physician between 2014 and 2015, the same year he achieved the academic rank of associate professor. Throughout his career, Dr. Gökmen has published more than 50 research articles in peer-reviewed national and international medical journals and has participated in numerous medical congresses. Following clinical positions at private medical centers in Sakarya and Kayseri Medical Palace Hospital, he established his independent private clinic in Kayseri in 2020.
Clinical Specializations and Treatment Methods
The practice addresses acute and chronic spinal disorders—such as lumbar and cervical disc herniations—as well as comprehensive joint, tendon, and muscular dysfunctions. Utilizing both technological equipment and hands-on clinical procedures, Dr. Gökmen integrates various certified treatment methods into his clinical care:
• Robotic Laser Therapy: A high-intensity therapeutic modality engineered to accelerate cellular repair, alleviate inflammation, and relieve pain deep within musculoskeletal tissues.
• Neural Therapy: Selective local anesthetic injections aimed at regulating the autonomic nervous system and restoring tissue microcirculation to interrupt chronic pain pathways.
• Orthopedic and Visceral Manual Therapy: Hands-on biomechanical mobilization and manipulation techniques addressing joint restrictions, spinal misalignments, and connective tissue tensions.
• Clinical Acupuncture: Targeted acupuncture techniques, including Nogier auricular acupuncture and scalp acupuncture, employed to regulate nervous system function and diminish chronic pain.
• Regenerative Injections (PRP and Prolotherapy): Platelet-rich plasma therapy and hypertonic dextrose injections designed to initiate and strengthen natural biological repair mechanisms in compromised ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
• Ultrasound-Guided Musculoskeletal Injections: Advanced imaging-assisted procedures that ensure precise delivery of therapeutic agents directly into joints, bursa, or periarticular structures.
• Kinesiology and Kinesio Taping: Dynamic functional taping and muscle testing procedures utilized to stabilize joints, facilitate neuromuscular balance, and enhance mobility.
Holistic Treatment Strategy
Rather than solely targeting symptomatic relief, Dr. Gökmen prioritizes evaluating the biomechanical and neurophysiological causes behind spinal and joint ailments. This personalized framework supports individuals suffering from neck pain, low back pain, arthritis, and sports-related injuries in reclaiming physical function, preventing structural degeneration, and achieving long-term pain management.
