Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Disco gel injection will help in reducing the nerve compression. it allows treating herniated discs by decompression.
it is a novel technique which helps in reducing the pain of disc compression with just an injection. XXXXXXX Knight is consultant endoscopic spinal surgeon at BMI Fawkham Manor Hospital in XXXXXXX Uk. He is quite experienced in doing this procedure. The long term side effects of this procedure are still not known. it is best to consult your orthopedician with all the reports and discuss if you are a suitable candidate for it. it is not yet approved by FDA - so not available in US.
