VIA Disc NP Procedure in Chalfont, PA
What does the VIA Disc Procedure Treat?
Cedars-Sinai defines degenerative disc disease as a condition, not a disease, in which a damaged disc causes pain. A wide range of symptoms and severity is associated with this condition. When discs degenerate, there is a decrease in height, lower nutrient content, and water content. Discs torn from activity, dried out with age, or swollen from injury commonly cause low back pain. Our office in Chalfont specializes in offering treatment for degenerative disk disease.

As a minimally invasive treatment, this is an option for patients who have experienced tissue loss within their lumbar intervertebral discs. We treat many patients at our Chalfont pain management clinic for these symptoms. Many elderly patients suffering from chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease may be candidates for this treatment, especially if they are not eligible for back surgery.
What is the VIA Disc NP Procedure?
This procedure consists of injecting a spinal needle through Kambin’s safe triangle into the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc guided by fluoroscopy imaging. The allograft is injected into the target disc and supports the disc’s ability to cushion. As a minimally invasive procedure, the VIA Disc NP procedure typically takes under an hour to be completed. Patients typically resume normal activity within a few days after the procedure. Many patients notice symptom improvement within a few weeks after the VIA Disc NP procedure.
