Discseel

The DISCSEEL® Procedure is the only outpatient, minimally invasive procedure that regrows and heals spinal discs permanently to treat low back pain, sciatica, and neck pain, as well as radiculopathy (tingling and numbness).

The DISCSEEL® Procedure utilizes an FDA-approved Fibrin biologic to seal, heal, and promote healthy, new disc tissue growth. Sealing the torn disc stops the leaking and the pain, no longer inflaming spinal nerves. Studies affirm that Fibrin seals discs, returning them to normal mechanical strength.

The DISCSEEL® Procedure is a promising option for treating a variety of pain conditions linked to disc damage, particularly for patients with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or chronic pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. Its ability to repair annular tears and promote disc regeneration provides a minimally invasive solution with the potential for long-term pain relief and improved quality of life.

The DISCSEEL® Procedure uses Fibrin, an FDA-approved substance that is used off label in this procedure, to seal torn tissues in the disc. Fibrin is injected into disc tears, typically taking less than an hour. You’ll be walking the same day. The disc continues healing over 3-12 months as you increase your activity.

How the DISCSEEL® Procedure Treats the Lumbar Spine

The DISCSEEL® Procedure treats lower back pain by addressing the underlying cause, damaged or degenerated spinal discs, which are often responsible for chronic discomfort in the lower back. This minimally invasive procedure uses Fibrin to repair discs. These tears can occur due to aging, injury, or degenerative disc disease, allowing the soft inner material (nucleus pulposus) to escape and irritate surrounding nerves, causing pain.

During the DISCSEEL® Procedure, a specialist injects the fibrin sealant directly into the affected discs, closing the annular tears and promoting the regeneration of disc tissue. By sealing the tears, the procedure prevents further leakage of disc material and reduces inflammation around the nerves, providing relief from lower back pain. Over time, the discs may heal and regain their function, offering a long-term solution for pain and improving overall mobility without the need for invasive surgeries.

The DISCSEEL® Procedure is an option even if you have previously had spine surgery or regenerative procedures (stem cell or PRP.) that have failed.

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints, affecting millions of people worldwide. It can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that interferes with daily life. While back pain can stem from a variety of causes such as muscle strain, poor posture, injury, and genetic, disc-related issues. Conditions like degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and annular tears are often at the root of chronic back pain.

As discs deteriorate or become damaged, they can irritate nearby nerves or reduce the spine’s ability to absorb shock, leading to ongoing pain and stiffness. When disc issues like these are the source of back pain, traditional treatments such as physical therapy or pain management may offer temporary relief but often fail to address the root cause. By repairing the damaged discs and sealing annular tears, the DISCSEEL® Procedure targets the structural issues responsible for back pain.
