Nucleoplasty therapy is
offered by the pain management doctors of Atlas Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine, located on Park Avenue South @31st Street in Manhattan,
New York and in Millburn, New Jersey. In the Nucleoplasty procedure, the spine doctor removes
tissue and applies controlled levels of thermal energy (heat) to the
disc. This procedure relieve pressure in the disc, and contracts
collagen in the thermal zone, further shrinking and stiffening the
disc which results in relieving your pain. The nucleoplasty
procedure sounds more complicated then it actually is.
Nucleoplasty therapy is
performed on an outpatient basis. Local anesthesia and mild sedation
may be used to reduce your minimal discomfort during the
nucleoplasty procedure. You will be awake to enable you to provide
important feedback to the doctors of the Atlas Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine.
The nucleoplasty pain
management procedure does not require any incision. It is most
useful in patients with nerve root irritation due to smaller disc
bulges or contained ruptures, Nucleoplasty is a very safe
procedure.
