Chronic back pain can feel overwhelming, often leading to a search for effective solutions. For many, invasive spinal surgeries like fusions and discectomies may seem like the only option. However, the Discseel® Procedure offers a revolutionary, minimally invasive alternative. This blog will explore how the Discseel® Procedure works and its potential benefits for those suffering from long-term back pain.

Understanding Chronic Back Pain

Chronic back pain can arise from various conditions, including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal injuries. For many patients, traditional treatments offer limited relief, and the prospect of invasive surgery can be daunting. The Discseel® Procedure represents a significant advancement in treating chronic back pain, focusing on healing rather than merely managing symptoms.

What is the Discseel® Procedure?

The Discseel® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes an FDA-approved, 100% natural biologic called fibrin. This innovative approach involves injecting fibrin directly into the damaged disc to seal tears and promote natural healing.

When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), fibrin not only seals the disc but also enhances the healing process. Dr. Maxim Moradian offers the Discseel® Procedure as a genuine alternative to invasive spinal surgeries at his office in Southern California, providing hope for patients seeking lasting relief from chronic back pain.

How the Discseel® Procedure Works

1. Patient Application: The first step in the Discseel® journey is completing a patient application. Dr. Moradian reviews your application and any relevant medical imaging of your spine. A patient advocate will contact you to answer questions and schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Moradian.
2. One-on-One Consultation: During your in-person consultation, Dr. Moradian will discuss your pain symptoms, previous tests or procedures, and your goals for life after the procedure. This personalized approach ensures you receive the answers and support you need.
3. Annulogram Imaging: To provide a detailed understanding of your condition, Dr. Moradian may recommend an annulogram. This imaging test offers more precise details than an MRI, enabling the identification of disc tears that contribute to your pain. Understanding the underlying issues is crucial for a successful outcome, as many spinal surgeries fail to address the root cause of chronic pain.
4. Performing the Discseel® Treatment: On the day of the procedure, Dr. Moradian will inject fibrin into your damaged disc. Fibrin, a natural substance found in human blood, seals the annular tear and promotes healing. The entire procedure, performed under image-guided assistance for accuracy, takes approximately 45 minutes in an outpatient facility.
5. Patient Recovery: Recovery from the Discseel® Procedure is typically quick and straightforward. Most patients are able to walk within 24 hours. While mild discomfort may occur, this is normal as the healing process begins. Fibrin continues to promote tissue growth in the damaged disc for up to 12 months. Patients are encouraged to start walking on day two, gradually increasing duration and distance as they feel better.

Is the Discseel® Procedure Right for You?

The Discseel® Procedure is not suitable for everyone, but it may be an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive solution to chronic back pain. Consult with Dr. Moradian to determine if you are an optimal candidate for this innovative treatment.

Conclusion

The Discseel® Procedure offers a groundbreaking alternative for those struggling with chronic back pain. By utilizing a natural biologic to seal and heal damaged discs, this minimally invasive procedure addresses the root cause of pain, providing lasting relief. If you or someone you know is seeking a way to live free from chronic back pain, the Discseel® Procedure could be the key to reclaiming your active lifestyle.
