Let us help you get your life back to a life free of pain
Because our patients routinely travel from around the world for the Discseel® Procedure, we’ve refined our treatment plan, which benefits all our patients. Its essentially 4 steps in one visit: Consultation; The Discseel® Procedure; Recovery; and return to your active lifestyle.
Get A Consultation
During your in-person consultation, you’ll speak directly with your Discseel® Physician, discussing your prior tests and procedures, prior injections, or even surgeries if you’ve had surgery. You’ll be examined and you’ll have as much time as you’d like to ask your Physician questions. This is a good opportunity to receive detailed answers to all your questions that other Physicians haven’t explained to your satisfaction. When your symptoms begin interfering with your activities or sleep, then it’s time to seek help.
Have An Annulogram™ Performed
Receive Treatment
The Discseel® Procedure takes approximately 40 minutes and is performed in an outpatient facility. You wil be offered mild sedation. During the procedure, your physician uses xray fluoroscopy and injects contrast mixed with antibiotic into each disc in the region to precisely identify disc tears. Next, using x-ray fluoroscopy, the two components which make Fibrin (prothrombin and fibrinogen), are simultaneously injected into the tears of your annulus fibrosus, making Fibrin in the disc, sealing your torn and damaged discs. Fibrin is FDA-approved biologic with many other applications in the human body, and in the disc used as an accepted, off-label use of an FDA approved biologic (this is analogous to steroids in epidural injections). The fibrin will seal the disc tears and promote tissue growth over the following months, thus sealing and healing the discs.
Up And Moving Within 24 Hours
Following your Discseel® Procedure, you will rest in recovery for 30 minutes. Most people experience temporary increased and different symptoms before improvement. We’d like you to walk with assistance the following day and increase your activity as tolerated. Increase your activities in 10% increments until you are at 100% of your desired activity. Most experience relief at 3-6 months post procedure because our discs heal slowly.
