New Treatment of Disc related Pain

VIA Disc NP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat degenerative disc disease. It is an allograft, which means that it is from cadaver. The tissue is processed and then injected into the degenerated disc.

VIA Disc NP is intended to supplement the disc and improve its function. The dehydrated nucleus pulposus particulate is mixed with saline and delivered into the intervertebral disc through a 20G spine needle.

After delivery, VIA Disc NP supports the natural cushioning function and supplements tissue loss in the degenerated intervertebral disc.

VIA Disc NP has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with degenerative disc disease.

A clinical trial published in the journal The Spine Journal in 2018 found that VIA Disc NP was more effective than a placebo in reducing pain and improving function in people with lumbar disc herniation.

VIA Disc NP is a safe and effective treatment option for people with degenerative disc disease. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require hospitalization or general anesthesia.

The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting and takes about 30 minutes to complete.

If you are considering VIA Disc NP for degenerative disc disease, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of this treatment.

Here are some of the potential risks of VIA Disc NP:

• Infection

• Bleeding

• Reaction to the allograft tissue

• Pain

• Nerve damage

It is important to note that these are just potential risks and not everyone who undergoes VIA Disc NP will experience them. If you are concerned about the risks of VIA Disc NP, talk to your doctor.
