Support Healing for Slip and Fall Victim

The trauma from a slip and fall over a year ago caused multiple tears in the nucleus pulpus (rings of fibrous tissue that surrounds the soft gelatinous substance that sits in the center of the circular cushions that are located between the vertebrae) of lumbar spine disk segments. This caused spinal stenosis (spinal canal narrowing, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots), and caused neuro foraminal stenosis (narrowing of the openings in the spine where the spinal nerves exit) and caused lateral recess stenosis, (a narrowing of the lateral recess, a passageway for nerves in the spinal canal) and retrolisthesis (when vertebra slip backward on one another)

So regular daily activities such as standing or sitting, causes the nucleus pulpus from within the annulus fibrosus of these discs to continue to leak through the annular tears causing 24/7 inflammation, pain, numbness, and weakness, especially during walking or standing. This fundraiser is to cover the cost of the DISCSEEL® Procedure that is the treatment for these conditions.

The DISCSEEL® Procedure

The majority of back pain is a biological problem. So the solution is to identify the cause of the biological problem and treat it with Fibrin, to cause it's healing with normal disc tissue.

The DISCSEEL Procedure is the only outpatient, minimally invasive procedure that regrows and heals spinal discs permanently to treat low back pain, sciatica, and neck pain, as well as radiculopathy. This procedure utilizes FDA-approved Fibrin, a natural biologic that seals and heals discs naturally (the same way Fibrin heals and seals skin).

It’s important to seal and heal discs because all spine disc pain and symptoms are caused by leaky discs, referred to as Leaky Disc Syndrome (LDS). LDS is characterized by pain, numbness, and weakness, which varies and is caused by leaks and tears of herniated, bulged, and degenerated discs.

What is the DISCSEEL® Procedure?

The purpose of the Disceel Procedure is twofold: First, it identifies all disc annular tears in the region of symptoms, and secondly, it introduces fibrin into those annular tears or defects for the purpose of stimulating disc tissue growth.

The DISCSEEL Procedure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for back pain that harnesses your body’s inherent healing ability. By leveraging Fibrin, this innovative procedure effectively seals tears in damaged spinal discs and stimulates the body’s natural regenerative processes. This precise, image-guided injection facilitates the repair and recovery of your spinal discs, which typically struggle to heal on their own.

The DISCSEEL Procedure treats the following conditions:

Annular Tears

Degenerative Disc Disease

Herniated Discs

Bulging Disc

Spinal Stenosis

Sciatica

Chronic Lower Back Pain

Abrupt Injury

MRI, a commonly used imaging technique, is not precise enough to identify annular tears or Leaky Disc Syndrome.

The DISCSEEL Procedure: Step One – The Annulargram™

The DISCSEEL Procedure takes the body’s natural healing process and applies them to the spine using precise imaging known as the Annulargram, a test invented by Dr. Kevin Pauza.

Here are the facts:

The Annulargram is the best test to evaluate if normal or abnormal-looking discs are leaking and demonstrates exactly where to inject Fibrin to seal disc tears.

Annulargram™: The Diagnostic Test

The Annulargram is a pain-free test and a crucial part of the DISCSEEL Procedure that identifies even the most subtle tears in spinal discs that MRI and discography cannot. During the Annulargram, every disc in the region is tested to address current and future pain issues by finding even the most subtle annular tears.

With the Annulargram, damaged spinal discs are pinpointed and precisely treated with Fibrin, leaving all healthy discs as they are.

The DISCSEEL® Procedure addresses current and future pain issues by testing all spinal discs in the affected region during the Annulargram.

An Annulargram™ is the best test to evaluate if normal or abnormal-looking discs are torn and leaking.

The DISCSEEL Procedure: Step Two – Fibrin

Fibrin is a natural biologic formed from fibrinogen during the blood clotting process. The body uses it as part of its natural process for healing cuts and tears in skin and other tissues.

Fibrinogen, a protein present in blood plasma, works with the enzyme thrombin to create fibrin. Fibrin then works by forming a fibrous mesh that impedes blood flow and encourages new tissue to grow, successfully healing cuts and tears.

When applied to torn and damaged spinal discs, fibrin immediately seals tears, stops leaking, and promotes the growth of new healthy tissue in the disc, which cannot heal without assistance.

What is Fibrin:

Fibrin is an FDA approved drug. Used off-label, similar to off-label use of corticosteroids in epidurals, non-autologous fibrin composed of prothrombin and fibrinogen creates a polymer matrix that seals the annular tears.

The Role of Fibrin in the DISCSEEL Procedure:

Fibrin is INJECTED into the annulus fibrosus of the disc.

Injected Fibrin flows through the layers of the annulus and seals any existing tears. It SEALS tears preventing nucleus pulposus from leaking onto spinal nerves.
