Herniated Disc
Herniated discs occur when the soft, jelly-like interior of a disc pushes through a crack in the outer later, potentially irritating nearby nerves causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
What We
Offer
Provocative discogram, also known as discography, is an X-ray procedure used to examine the intervertebral discs of the spine. It helps determine if a specific disc is the source of back pain and guides short term and long treatment decisions. The procedure involves injecting dye into the disc to reproduce patient's familiar pain.
A percutaneous diskectomy, also known as a percutaneous discectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain caused by a herniated disc. The procedure involves inserting a needle through the skin and into the disc, using imaging guidance like fluoroscopy, to remove herniated disc material using "DISKOM" probe.
Intradiscal injections
In Intradiscal injection the medication is injected directly into the disc to reduce inflammation pain. It can be used for both diagnosis and treatment of chronic lower back pain. Stem Cells or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can also be injected for long term pain relief and avoid side effects of steroids.
​A percutaneous diskectomy, sometimes referred to as Disc-FX, is a minimally invasive spinal surgery technique used to address herniated discs. The Elliquence Disc-FX System uses a small incision and precise instruments to decompress and remove the herniated disc material, potentially providing long term pain relief.
