What is Hydrodissection? 

Hydrodissection is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure used to relieve nerve pain and improve mobility. This treatment involves injecting a sterile saline solution to gently separate nerves from surrounding scar tissue or compression points. It is particularly effective for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and other nerve-related issues, offering a safe and non-surgical solution for pain relief.

So, What Exactly is Hydrodissection?

It uses ultrasound guidance to deliver a precise injection of sterile saline around the affected nerve. This fluid creates space, reducing pressure and inflammation while enabling the area to heal . The procedure is quick, precise, and performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort and maximum effectiveness.

How Can Hydrodissection Help Me Recover Better?

It offers several benefits for patients dealing with nerve pain:

• Pain Relief: Reduces pressure on compressed nerves, alleviating pain and discomfort.
• Improved Mobility: Restores normal nerve function, enhancing movement and flexibility.
• Minimally Invasive: Avoids the risks and recovery time associated with surgery to release the nerve and scar tissue
• Quick Recovery: Most patients experience relief shortly after the procedure and can resume light activities quickly.

Whether you’re struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica, Hydrodissection can help you regain your quality of life.

Conditions We Treat with Hydrodissection

It is highly effective for treating a variety of nerve-related conditions, including:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Relieves pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.
• Sciatica: Reduces compression of the sciatic nerve, easing pain that radiates down the leg.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Addresses nerve compression in the arms or legs.
• Nerve Entrapment: Treats conditions where nerves are pinched by surrounding tissues.
• Chronic Nerve Pain: Manages long-standing nerve pain caused by injury or inflammation.

Each treatment is tailored to your specific condition, ensuring optimal results and a faster return to your daily activities.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Hydrodissection

1. Is Hydrodissection painful?

   The procedure involves minimal discomfort, as a local anesthetic is used to numb the area. Most patients report only mild pressure during the injection.

2. How many sessions will I need?

   The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition. Most patients require 1 to 3 sessions for significant improvement.

3. Are there any side effects of Hydrodissection?

   Side effects are rare but may include temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days.

4. How soon can I return to normal activities after Hydrodissection?

   Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two. However, strenuous activities should be avoided for a few more days to allow proper healing.

5. Is Hydrodissection covered by insurance?

   Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm eligibility.
