Nerve Hydrodissection for Peripheral Neuropathies - Fast Relief Without Surgery

Introduction to Peripheral Neuropathies

Peripheral neuropathies are conditions where the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord become damaged or compressed. These neuropathies often result in symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected areas which can significantly impact daily life.

At Mitigate Pain Clinic, we specialize in interventional pain management, offering innovative solutions like Nerve Hydrodissection to alleviate symptoms of peripheral neuropathies.

Understanding Nerve Hydrodissection

Nerve Hydrodissection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve nerve entrapments by separating the nerve from surrounding tissues. This procedure utilizes a precise injection of fluid—typically saline around the nerve to reduce inflammation, release tension and promote healing. By creating space around the compressed nerve, hydrodissection can alleviate symptoms and restore function without the need for surgery.

Common Peripheral Neuropathies Treated with Nerve Hydrodissection

Nerve Hydrodissection is particularly effective in treating various peripheral neuropathies, including but not limited to:

1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which may cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

2. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome affects the posterior tibial nerve causing pain and numbness in the foot and ankle.

3. Meralgia Paresthetica due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the thigh, leading to burning pain, tingling, or numbness on the outer thigh.

4. Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) Syndrome can lead to pain and weakness in the forearm and hand.

5. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome affects the ulnar nerve, causing tingling, numbness, and pain in the ring and little fingers.

How Nerve Hydrodissection Works

Nerve Hydrodissection is a cutting-edge treatment that involves injecting a saline solution or other fluid around the entrapped nerve. Here’s how it works:

Targeted Imaging: Using ultrasound guidance, your doctor precisely locates the affected nerve. This ensures accuracy in targeting the compressed nerve.
Injection of Fluid: Saline solution is injected into the area around the nerve. This fluid helps separate the nerve from the surrounding tissue, reducing compression and inflammation.
Release of Entrapment: The injected fluid creates a buffer between the nerve and the surrounding structures, providing relief from the compression and associated pain or numbness.
Healing and Restoration: Over time, the pressure is relieved, allowing the nerve to heal. Many patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms after just one treatment.

Why Choose Nerve Hydrodissection for Peripheral Neuropathies?

Nerve Hydrodissection offers a variety of benefits, particularly for patients suffering from peripheral neuropathies, including:

Minimally Invasive: The procedure is non-surgical and involves only a small injection, reducing the risk of complications.
Quick Relief: Many patients report feeling relief from pain, tingling or numbness almost immediately after the procedure.
Targeted Treatment: Because the procedure is guided by imaging, it precisely targets the problem area, making it highly effective.
No Downtime: Unlike surgery, hydrodissection requires little to no recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.
Long-lasting Effects: By relieving the nerve compression, this treatment provides long-lasting pain relief without the need for medications.

Gentle stretching or physical therapy
Avoiding strenuous activities for a few days
Monitoring for any signs of infection, though complications are rare

Risks and Potential Side Effects

Nerve Hydrodissection is generally considered safe, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Possible side effects include:
