What Are Annular Tears?
As we get older, the vertebral discs can start to exhibit wear and cause some health problems. A common problem is tear in the annulus fibrosus, or annular fibers, commonly referred to as an annular tear or leaky disc. Those tears are the precise source of underlying disc and sciatica symptoms.
Conservative options, such as
- Anti-Inflammatory Medications
- Pain Medications
- Steroid Injections
- Physical Therapy
- Low Impact Excercise
Are often prescribed to treat symptoms
But none have been shown to heal torn discs
ONLY THE DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE IS KNOWN TO HEAL ANNULAR TEARS
THE DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE uses Fibrin, an FDA-approved substance that is used off-label in this procedure, to seal and regenerate tissue. 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.
