A disc tear, also known as an annular tear, occurs when the outer layer of an intervertebral disc (the annulus fibrosus) becomes damaged or torn. This can lead to the inner gel-like core (nucleus pulposus) leaking out, potentially irritating nearby nerves and causing pain.
A bulging disc happens when the disc protrudes beyond its normal boundary but does not rupture completely. This condition often results from the disc's natural degeneration over time and can lead to nerve compression, causing pain and discomfort.
Common Causes include:
During Orthorenew’s outpatient procedures, custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents are injected into the exact areas of damage in the spine. Treatments use only your own blood to make super-concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or your own bone marrow concentrate (BMC), which contains concentrated cells.
Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of what it is with surgery and generally requires little to no opioid pain medications or time off of work.
Our goal is to use the least invasive, least expensive procedure to get the desired results. Your Orthorenew physician will work with you to determine whether that would be a platelet procedure or a BMC procedure.
At our clinic, we specialize in providing personalized regenerative treatments tailored to each patient's unique condition and needs. Our goal is to help you achieve long-term relief and improve your quality of life without the need for invasive surgery.
