DISCSEEL® Procedure
Dr. Miller is committed to offering the latest and most innovative solutions for chronic back pain and disc-related conditions. One such groundbreaking treatment is the DISCSEEL® Procedure, a revolutionary, non-surgical option for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or other spinal disc injuries.
What is the DISCSEEL® procedure?
The DISCSEEL® Procedure is a minimally invasive, regenerative treatment designed to repair damaged spinal discs and reduce chronic back pain. It involves injecting an FDA-approved biologic fibrin sealant into the damaged disc(s) to seal tears and encourage the natural healing process. Unlike traditional surgery, DISCSEEL® preserves the structure of your spine and avoids the need for hardware or fusion.
Why choose DISCSEEL®?
-
Non-Surgical Solution: Avoid the risks and long recovery times associated with spinal surgery.
-
Regenerative Treatment: The fibrin sealant not only seals disc tears but also promotes tissue repair and regeneration.
-
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed with precise imaging guidance and requires only a small injection.
-
High Success Rate: Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Conditions treated with DISCSEEL®
Dr. Miller may recommend the DISCSEEL® Procedure for patients experiencing:
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Bulging or herniated discs

-
Chronic low back pain or neck pain originating from damaged discs
What to expect during the procedure
Dr. Miller performs the DISCSEEL® Procedure in an outpatient setting. Using advanced imaging techniques, the fibrin sealant is injected precisely into the damaged discs. The sealant works to seal any tears in the disc, reduce inflammation, and initiate the body’s natural healing process. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and most patients can resume light activities within a few days.

Dr. Miller will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including diagnostic imaging and a review of your medical history, to determine if the DISCSEEL® Procedure is the best option for your condition. It is an excellent alternative for those looking to avoid spinal surgery or for patients who have not found relief through other treatments.
