Is Chronic Low Back Pain Holding You Back?

If you suffer from persistent low back pain, the culprit might be hiding right between your vertebrae. Over time, the discs in your spine can lose water content, causing them to wear down, flatten, and lose their ability to act as shock absorbers. This natural wear-and-tear is known as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), and it can turn simple daily movements into a challenge.

Fortunately, major surgery isn't your only option.

What is VIA Disc NP?

VIA Disc NP is an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to supplement the damaged tissue inside your spinal discs. It is an allograft (tissue graft) that is delivered directly into the affected intervertebral disc via a minimally invasive procedure.

Instead of just masking the pain, VIA Disc NP works by restoring the volume and helping to maintain the hydro-mechanics of a healthier disc, essentially helping to support the disc's natural function.

How It Works: The Procedure

The VIA Disc NP procedure is performed right here in our clinic on an outpatient basis, meaning you get to go home the very same day.

• Step 1: Precise Targeting – Using advanced fluoroscopic (X-ray) imaging, your specialist identifies the exact disc causing your pain.
• Step 2: Comfortable Delivery – Under local anesthesia or light sedation, a small needle is guided directly into the center of the disc.
• Step 3: Tissue Supplementation – The VIA Disc NP particulate matter is gently injected into the disc to supplement the lost tissue.

The entire process typically takes less than an hour.

Why Choose VIA Disc NP?

Patients choose VIA Disc NP because it bridges the gap between temporary fixes (like medication) and major spinal surgery.

• Minimally Invasive: No large incisions, no implants, and no hardware.
• Outpatient Convenience: Done in-office with a brief recovery period.
• Targets the Root Cause: Focuses on supplementing the degenerated disc tissue itself.
• Preserves Mobility: Unlike spinal fusion, it doesn't lock your vertebrae together.

Are You a Candidate?

VIA Disc NP is ideal for individuals who:

• Have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD).
• Have tried conservative treatments (like physical therapy or chiropractic care) without lasting relief.
• Are looking for a non-surgical alternative to spinal fusion or disc replacement.

Note: A thorough evaluation and an MRI are required to determine if your specific disc degeneration is a match for this therapy.
