Had my appointment yesterday to schedule my next nerve ablation for my lower back. These have been pretty successful twice a year giving me relatively pain free activity. But I asked my doc about what is the next step when these are no longer as effective. Told him I'm trying to avoid surgery as long as I can. He mentioned about VIA Disc NP Allograft, a new procedure that injects dehydrated nucleus pulposus particulate derived from the intervertebral disc region of the donor (cadaver). This is to replace some of the disc material lost due to various factors.
Has anyone else heard of this procedure?
He said not now but in the (near) future when the nerve ablations aren't as effective this may be something to consider.
Here is the company's website: viadiscnp.com
