Let us help you get your life back to a life free of pain
Because our patients routinely travel from around the world for the Discseel® Procedure, we’ve refined our treatment plan, which benefits all our patients. Its essentially 4 steps in one visit: Consultation; The Discseel® Procedure; Recovery; and return to your active lifestyle.
During your in-person consultation, you’ll speak directly with your Discseel® Physician, discussing your prior tests and procedures, prior injections, or even surgeries if you’ve had surgery. You’ll be examined and you’ll have as much time as you’d like to ask your Physician questions. This is a good opportunity to receive detailed answers to all your questions that other Physicians haven’t explained to your satisfaction. When your symptoms begin interfering with your activities or sleep, then it’s time to seek help.

The annulogram is a pain-free test that identifies subtle tears in your discs that the MRI or discography can’t. We test every disc in the region to identify even the most subtle disc tears. This allows us to be proactive, addressing small tears before they lead to large herniations or degeneration.
The annulogram is so important that its a necessary part of the Discseel® Procedure. During your annulogram, X-ray contrast is mixed with a little antibiotic, and is injected into the outer annulus fibrosus of your disc to identify subtle disc tears. Next, Fibrin is injected into each tear to immediately seal the disc. Over the following months, the Fibrin promotes disc tissue growth, sealing and healing previously torn discs.

Low back pain doesn’t need to dominate your life, because the Discseel® Procedure is available. Fibrin is superior to stem cells in the disc, because natural Fibrin first seals disc tears, and then heals those torn discs. Stem cells can’t yet do this.
The Discseel® Procedure is a revolutionary, minimally-invasive procedure to treat chronic back pain resulting from damaged or torn spinal discs. An FDA-approved, 100% natural biologic called Fibrin is injected into the disc, which seals the tears and stimulates the body to begin healing. The Discseel® Procedure is a true alternative to a spinal fusion.
Every experienced spine surgeon, without exception, knows patients who are no better or worse following their spine surgery. While there were successes, it was the countless “failures” that motivated Dr. Robert Grossman to critically evaluate the decades old spine treatment protocol. Some “old school” surgeons remain dismissive of the relatively new and validated paradigm that recognizes the importance of torn and leaky discs. Torn discs cause symptoms previously attributed to “pinching” of the nerves or other “mechanical reasons.” The pinching only contributes to pain when the pinching is in the presence of disc leakage. Leaking discs cause inflammation, making nerves sensitive to even the smallest of mechanical forces.
So therefore, sealing leaky discs stops the underlying cause of inflammation, and this improves symptoms from their origin. Sealing discs makes sense because it “treats the cause, instead of the effect.” Fortunately, informed spine surgeons recognize the numerous shortcomings of spinal surgery, and embrace these new scientifically-validated efforts to seal and heal discs.
It’s apparent some physicians may never change. There’s an obvious financial incentive to maintain the status quo and continue surgically implanting metal fusion hardware. Those surgeons will likely continue fusing until they’re no longer allowed to fuse. One state has already stopped allowing fusions to treat pain. In the USA, there’s more money made performing spinal fusions than there is in treating heart disease and cancer combined. Spinal fusions are indicated for rare spinal instability caused by cancer or trauma, but not for treating pain. Its easy to see how all spine disc pain begins as small annular tears. Those annular tears increase, leading to disc degeneration, herniations, bulges, dessication, and degenerative disc disease. All are directly caused by the disc’s annular tears.
The Discseel® Procedure uses Fibrin, occasionally supplemented with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or stem cells, to repair discs, to decrease pain and allow increased activity. Studies confirm that Fibrin strengthens discs almost immediately – something stem cells can’t do.
During the in-person consultation, you will speak directly with the physician who will perform the Discseel® Procedure. We want to make sure you are confident about the procedure and we will answer all your questions prior to the procedure.
The annulogram is a detailed process that will identify your pain source. It specifically determines if your normal or abnormal-looking discs are leaking. Anything missed by an MRI will show up in the annulogram.
During the Discseel® Procedure your physician will inject a substance called fibrin into your damaged disc, which will seal the disc. Fibrin is an FDA approved biologic that is made from human blood. The entire procedure is observed through live x-rays.
After the Discseel® Procedure most patients are walking within the first 24 hours. Immediately after the procedure, your damaged disc will start healing, which is a continuous process over the next 12 months.
Degenerative discs are the result of wear and tear on your spine. The Discseel® Procedure is a non-surgical procedure that seals disc tears, and then promotes growth to heal those once damaged discs.
These kinds of injuries can occur over decades and are hard to heal due to poor blood circulation the disc. The Discseel® Procedure helps to repair the damage!
Chronic back pain most often reflects disc tears, and disc tears cause disc degeneration, bulges, and herniations, and that’s exactly what the Discseel® Procedure treats. The Discseel® Procedure can help! Don’t hesitate to contact us for an evaluation.

Disc herniation isn’t the direct cause of pain as was once thought. Instead, the leakage associated with herniated discs is responsible for inflammation and pain. With the Discseel® Procedure, you can live your life pain free while doing activities you enjoy. Find out if this life-improving procedure is optimal for you.
