Herniated Discs Occur as a Result of Annular Tears
Herniated discs do not cause symptoms;
it is leaking liquid gel, known as the nucleus pulposus, that causes symptoms and weakness.
Because annular tears cause herniated discs, only sealing and healing those tears can heal herniations.
Only the DISCSEEL® Procedure seals these tears, allowing herniated discs to heal.
What is a Herniated Disc?
Herniated disc pain occurs when the gel-like inner portion of the spinal disc leaks out through tears in the annulus fibrosus alongside a herniated disc. This gel, which the body perceives as a foreign substance, caused inflammation and irritation of the disc as well as surrounding spinal roots. Pain related to a herniated disc is not caused by a nerve being physically pinched.

ONLY THE DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE IS KNOWN TO HEAL ANNULAR TEARS THAT CAUSE HERNIATED DISCS
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.
