Percutaneous Disc Nucleoplasty

Disc hernia can cause a pain when nerve or spinal cord is pinched. This procedure is performed to reduce a herniated disc providing quick relief for most patients. It uses a small needle and modern radiofrequency technology. The procedure is provided on outpatient basis and uses relaxing medication as well as local anesthetic to numb the skin.

A thin needle called cannula is inserted into herniated disc. The physician  uses a fluoroscope to ensure right position of cannula.
