Clearwater Discseel® Procedure and Newfound Hope

On October 31, 2022, a news article unexpected news that an innovative medical technique, the Discseel® Procedure, could revolutionize back pain treatments. For Liam*, a software developer from Clearwater, Florida, this news came at a critical time.

Liam had suffered from chronic low back pain for years. Multiple failed surgeries and therapies had left him despondent. When he stumbled upon the article, he was immediately drawn to the potential of this novel approach. The story detailed the components of the Discseel® Procedure, including the use of biologics like fibrinogen and prothrombin for disc healing. It triggered a glimmer of hope in Liam, whose condition had been steadily worsening.

Exploring further, Liam found detailed information about the procedure. He learned that the Discseel® Procedure involved purified blood proteins essential for disc healing. What stunned him was the high success rate and the stories of patients with similar histories of failed surgeries who had found relief.

'This could be the solution I've been praying for,' Liam thought to himself, feeling a surge of cautious optimism. His certainty grew when, serendipitously, he bumped into an old friend who had undergone the same procedure with remarkable success. It felt like the universe was nudging him toward this new hope.

Perusing the website, Liam was struck by this quote: 'In more than 10 years, we've had no long-term or serious negative side effects.' The uniqueness of the treatment and the specialist care available only at Neios convinced him further.

Determined to take action, Liam discussed the idea with his wife, Emily*. She had witnessed his struggles and was equally wary yet hopeful. 'If this can really change your life, we need to try,' she said, offering full support.

After careful consideration, Liam decided to proceed. The consultation was thorough, and the support team was responsive, addressing all his concerns. The actual procedure was straightforward and quicker than Liam had anticipated. During the consultation, he learned that:

Below are some of the more commonly asked questions regarding the procedure. Can't find one you are looking for? Contact us directly!

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)

After initial recovery and patience through the healing time, Liam indeed started feeling a positive difference. His progress was monitored, and he was encouraged to gradually reintroduce activities into his life. The relief was gradual but evident, converting his initial hope into lasting transformation.
