Intradiscal Nucleolysis injections can be directly injected into the nucleus pulposus of the herniated spinal disc. These injections provide long-term relief without the need for painkillers or surgery. Intradiscal Nucleolysis treatment usually involves a patient receiving two to four injections in a specific site where they are experiencing pain. This treatment takes about 10-15 minutes and may require a second treatment within one to two weeks. However, some patients experience relief after only one treatment. These injections are administered through a very small gauge needle in order to minimize injection site pain. However, patients may opt for numbing cream if their existing pain is significant. As patients respond to treatment, they will likely require fewer injections and smaller doses over time. Each patient’s needs are different, and Intradiscal Nucleolysis accommodates for this by allowing patients to dictate when and how often they receive injections. In addition to this, it’s a treatment that works by activating the body’s natural healing processes, it’s non-surgical, and it’s non-addictive.
