VIA Disc Procedure

Chronic back pain, especially in the lower back, is often caused by degenerative disc disease — a condition where the intervertebral discs lose their cushioning ability, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. For patients seeking an advanced, minimally invasive treatment option, the Disc Procedure using VIA Disc Allograft Injection offers a promising solution. This procedure is designed to restore disc health by injecting a specialized allograft directly into the damaged disc, promoting regeneration and pain relief.

What is Disc Degeneration?

The intervertebral discs are essential components of the spine, acting as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. Over time, due to aging, injury, or other factors, these discs can degenerate, losing their ability to cushion the spine effectively. Degenerative disc disease can lead to:

• Chronic Lower Back Pain: Persistent pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting.
• Reduced Mobility: Stiffness in the spine, making it difficult to bend or twist.
• Radiating Pain: Pain that extends from the lower back to the hips, buttocks, or legs, often associated with sciatica.

The VIA Disc Allograft Injection is a cutting-edge treatment that addresses the root cause of disc degeneration, offering patients a minimally invasive option to alleviate pain and improve spinal function.

Is the Disc Procedure with VIA Disc Allograft Injection Right for You?

The Disc Procedure using VIA Disc Allograft Injection is ideal for patients who have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and have not found sufficient relief through conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or epidural injections. This procedure may be particularly beneficial for individuals who:

• Experience chronic lower back pain due to disc degeneration.
• Have not responded to traditional treatments and are seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
• Want to avoid more invasive surgical procedures such as spinal fusion or disc replacement.

The VIA Disc Allograft Injection: A Minimally Invasive Approach

The VIA Disc Allograft Injection is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day. During the procedure, a small needle is guided into the damaged disc using advanced imaging techniques. The allograft, which contains natural growth factors and extracellular matrix, is then injected into the disc. This injection helps promote the regeneration of disc tissue, restoring its ability to cushion the spine and relieve pain.

The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, and because it is minimally invasive, there is minimal disruption to surrounding tissues and a lower risk of complications.

What to Expect After the Disc Procedure

Recovery from the Disc Procedure with VIA Disc Allograft Injection is generally swift, with most patients experiencing a reduction in pain and improved mobility within a few weeks. You may experience some mild soreness at the injection site, but this is typically short-lived. Patients are usually able to return to light activities within a few days and can expect continued improvement in their symptoms over the following months as the disc regenerates.

The VIA Disc Allograft Injection offers long-term relief from the symptoms of degenerative disc disease, allowing you to regain your quality of life without the need for extensive surgery.
