Peripheral Nerve Hydrodissection
Relieve nerve pain and restore nerve function.
What is Peripheral Nerve Hydrodissection?
This procedure is a simple, effective, nonsurgical solution for nerve pain that injects fluid to separate nerves from soft tissue or other entrapments, relieveing nerve pain and restoring nerve function.
Nerve hydrodissection uses highly skilled ultrasound guidance to inject a fluid to separate your entrapped nerves from soft tissue or other impingements.
How does it work?
The solution injected essentially frees a nerve from the soft tissue obstruction that is causing the nerve to be entrapped. This fluid is also nutritive to nerves and helps to promote healing.
The process relieves nerve pain and regenerates normal nerve function. It basically uses fluid to separate nerves from an “entrapment” while helping to heal and restore more normal nerve function.
Theoretically, nerve impingement can happen in any area of the body and on any nerve. It is one of the most commonly overlooked conditions contributing to pain and dysfunction.
What conditions does this therapy treat?
Periperal Nerve Hydrodissection can be used to treat any pain due to nerve impingement, including:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Headache, neck, and shoulder pain
- Elbow pain and ulnar nerve entrapments
- Lower back pain, sciatica, pudendal and cluneal nerve entrapments.
- Knee and ankle pain common in runners, triathletes, marathon runners, soccer players and other athletes
- Foot pain due to flat feet or sprained ankles
- Postoperative Nerve Entrapment
Peripheral Nerve Hydrodissection FAQs
How do nerves become entrapped?
What is the therapy's injection fluid made of?
Buffered saline, buffered dextrose in water, anesthetics, isotonic marine plasma, platelet-poor or platelet-rich plasma and other orthobiologics are typically used in this procedure. Most of our injections use a nutritive solution to help restore the health of the nerve being freed.
Can you combine this therapy with other treatments?
Yes – it can and often is done in combination with other procedures including PRP to create a full treatment plan.
What are the side effects of peripheral nerve hydrodissection?
Side effects are minimal provided the procedure is done correctly. We use ultrasound to see the nerve and with great skill are able to place the injection exactly where it is needed. It’s an advanced procedure that takes an exceptional level of experience, but done correctly, it can relieve and heal nerves that are otherwise difficult to treat.
