Few medical innovations have generated as much excitement and promise as the Discseel Procedure. This innovative procedure, developed by Dr. Kevin Pauza, offers hope to disc-related back pain sufferers. Using a minimally invasive technique to alleviate spine pain, the Discseel Procedure revolutionizes spinal care and changes lives. Many people suffer from back pain, which is commonly caused by spinal disc problems.
Intervertebral discs, which support the spine, wear down and degenerate with time. Thus, herniated discs, bulging discs and disc rips can cause intense pain, movement challenges, and a lower quality of life. Traditional therapies, including medicine, physical therapy, and invasive operations, have helped some but have hazards, restrictions, and fluctuating success rates, leaving many patients seeking alternatives.
How the Discseel Procedure works
Your doctor will discuss your previous testing, injections, and surgeries during your consultation. After they examine your back, you can ask them any questions. This is when you’ll get detailed answers to all your inquiries that other doctors may have missed. After your consultation, if you’re comfortable, you’ll have the Discseel Procedure.
The procedure begins with an Annulogram, a painless procedure that detects small annular tears in your spinal discs that MRI and discography cannot. Your provider then injects antibiotics and X-ray contrast into the annulus fibrosus, the outer spinal disc, making the tears visible. Test every spinal disc in your pain area for even the smallest annular rips. This allows your doctor to treat minor tears before they herniate or degenerate.
After detecting annular tears, X-ray fluoroscopy injects prothrombin and fibrinogen into the tears. This seals tears and stops leaking immediately. Fibrin will encourage disc tissue growth over the next 3-6 months, completing spinal disc repair. In an outpatient facility, the Discseel Procedure takes 40 minutes. You can travel home or to your hotel the same day after your treatment after 30 minutes in recovery. Most people have initial soreness after the Discseel Procedure before improving.
Benefits of Discseel Procedure
Targeted treatment
The Discseel Procedure focuses on the root cause of back pain by correcting problems inside the intervertebral discs. The operation successfully addresses the source of pain by sealing tears and mending damage within the disc, resulting in more complete and long-lasting relief than treatments that only control symptoms.
Preservation of spinal function
Unlike surgeries that remove or fuse the injured disc, the Discseel Procedure preserves the spine’s natural structure and function. Sealing and restoring the injured disc preserves spinal movement and flexibility. This is very helpful for patients who want to be active and live well.
Avoid surgery with Discseel
A major benefit of Discseel is the ability to avoid painful and hazardous spine surgery. The needle-only Discseel treatment injects fibrin, making it less invasive than spine surgery. Discseel also prevents unsuccessful back surgery, a significant risk since more than 50% of spine procedures fail.
Quick recovery
Spine surgery is risky, painful, and requires a long recovery. Discseel lets you leave 30 minutes after your surgery and go home. You can gradually regain full movement in the following days—about 10% daily. You’ll be back to full function quickly, but your doctor may advise you to avoid strenuous activities and lifting for a bit.
