What is Nerve Hydrodissection?
Nerve hydrodissection is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound-guided fluid injection to separate a trapped or compressed nerve from surrounding tissue, providing relief from nerve pain and entrapment syndromes. This innovative technique gently frees the nerve, allowing it to move freely and function normally again.
How Does Nerve Hydrodissection Work?
During the procedure, your physician uses ultrasound imaging to precisely locate the trapped nerve. They then carefully inject a sterile fluid solution around the nerve, gently separating it from the surrounding tissues that are compressing or irritating it. This allows the nerve to move freely and can immediately relieve pain and restore function.
What Conditions Can Nerve Hydrodissection Treat?
Nerve hydrodissection is effective for treating various nerve entrapment syndromes, including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, piriformis syndrome, and other conditions where nerves are compressed or irritated. This procedure can often provide relief when other conservative treatments have failed, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
Why Choose Nerve Hydrodissection?
Nerve hydrodissection is performed in the office under local anesthesia with minimal recovery time. Because it's minimally invasive and uses your body's own healing mechanisms, it carries fewer risks than surgical options while providing significant relief from nerve-related pain.
