Unexpected News Leads to Pain Relief in Deltona
On May 27, 2023, news broke about a revolutionary medical treatment. John* from Deltona, Florida, was having his morning coffee when he stumbled upon it. The report detailed the Discseel® Procedure by Neios, promising relief for lower back pain, something John had been suffering from for years.
Seeing this article unexpectedly triggered something in John. He had been coping with severe pain for years, trying various treatments without much success. Much like a recent patient from Homestead who found relief through the same procedure, John felt a glimmer of hope.
John read, 'The Discseel® Procedure is a groundbreaking treatment for chronic back pain,' and he was intrigued. The success stories he found, particularly that of a golf enthusiast from South Florida who had overcome similar challenges, resonated deeply with him.
*Mary* watched as John became more hopeful, 'This could be it, John. We've tried everything else.'
A serendipitous event happened one afternoon. Visiting a local bookstore, John found a specialist's research book on the Discseel® Procedure on a random shelf. It felt like a sign, pointing him in the right direction.
'Our Biologics are unique and only Neios has the specialists who have mastered this procedure,' read the website, reinforcing John's belief.
Discussing it with his wife, Mary, they weighed the pros and cons together. She was supportive but cautious, 'If it promises less pain and better functionality, it's worth a shot, John.'
After many discussions and considerations, John decided to go ahead with the procedure. Mary made all the necessary arrangements.
On the day of the procedure, John felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. He remembered reading from the FAQ section on the website:
Frequently Asked Questions Below are some of the more commonly asked questions regarding the procedure. Can't find one you are looking for? Contact us directly! See if you are a candidate for the Discseel® Procedure:. What are Biologics? Biologics or biopharmaceuticals are a highly-effective class of medicines that are based on naturally occurring proteins and produced using living cells. How are Biologics made? Our Biologics are manufactured from highly refined natural substances, found in the human body using state-of-the-art biotechnology manufacturing techniques with high quality standards. What is the Discseel® procedure composed of? The Discseel® procedure is comprised of highly purified and exact parts of fibrinogen, prothrombin, the two essential blood proteins involved in the formation of a disc healing. We also introduce an antibiotic into the disc to eliminate infection risk. Consultation: Are there any risks or negative side effects associated with the Discseel® Procedure? Patients will be taller because the disc is going to grow. Patients will have less pain, so they may have to stop taking their pain medicine because they won't need it. Then last, patients become more active because they don't have the pain that prevented that in the past. After thousands of surgeries we have had no long-term or serious negative side effects from the Discseel® Procedure. How do I know if I'm a candidate for the Discseel® Procedure? Any person with long lasting low back pain is a potential candidate. A person with low back pain who's had surgery or a person with low back pain who prefers to avoid surgery is a potential candidate, because the cushion in the back known as the disc is the most common cause of low back pain. What is the average cost of the Discseel® Procedure? While a specific amount can't be given until the doctor evaluates your case, Discseel® Procedure generally costs less than 25% of what a spinal fusion would cost. Is the Discseel® Procedure covered by Insurance? The Discseel® Procedure is not currently covered by insurance. What if I've had failed procedures in the past? That's okay and is a situation that many of our patients are in. They've had prior surgery, they've had fusions, and they've had metal inserted into their backs. That's what we work with, and our goal is to help you have a pain free life. What are the most common causes of lower back pain? The cushions in the low back are called discs, and the disc is the most common cause of low back pain. We know that the discs can be injured, degenerated, bulged, and herniated. These conditions need to be corrected, and the best way to correct them is to correct them naturally – not to add hardware, plates, rods, or screws. In the long term, these do not help the patient. What is the success rate? Based on preliminary data we have collected thus far, we know roughly 70% of patients treated with the Fibrin Discseel® Procedure who previously had a failed spinal procedure reported a better outcome in their condition and a positive reduction in pain and function. Recall these are patients who have failed either all or most other treatment options. "Better" is defined as getting better in both function and in pain/symptoms. How many times do I have to come back for repeat procedures? The goal is that you only have the procedure once. About 10% of patients return because they either tear the disc again, or they saw some improvement and feel trying it again may give them even better outcomes improvement. On occasion, a patient that does not get better, we offer to help them by considering other options such as diagnostic tests, and if related to disc pain, perhaps trying another biologic such as lumbar PRP or stem cells (harvested from the patient's Bone Marrow) Why is the Discseel® Procedure not FDA approved? It takes millions of dollars to approach the FDA to seek approval. To date, we have not made any attempts to approach the FDA because of costs. We are considering seeking FDA approval once we have trained other physicians to do the procedure, and once the Discseel procedure is offered in many locations. This would allow us to collect very useful data from multiple sites while sourcing the funds needed to apply for FDA approval. Feel good knowing this is an FDA approved biologic that we use off-label, analogous to spine epidural injections of corticosteroid. Those spine epidural injections are not FDA approved, however they are done all the time, and insurance even covers them.
The procedure was smooth, focusing on using biologics, which involved highly refined substances derived naturally from the human body. John felt optimistic about the future. He started walking a few days after the procedure, as advised, eager to reclaim his pain-free life.
