Nerve Hydrodissection in Branchburg, Somerset, Hillsborough and Watchung NJ
A Gentle Release for Entrapped Nerves in Somerset County New Jersey
Are you exhausted by the relentless tingling, numbness, or burning pain in your hands or feet? These symptoms are often caused by entrapped nerves. At Performance Ortho, our nerve pain doctors offer an innovative and minimally invasive procedure called Nerve Hydrodissection. This gentle technique can free your nerves from pain and restore your quality of life.
What is Nerve Hydrodissection?
Nerve hydrodissection, also known as hydrodilation, is a simple procedure. It can help with pain caused by trapped or compressed nerves in your arms or legs. This procedure aims to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility. It is commonly used for nerve-related issues in the extremities. This innovative technique involves gently injecting a solution around the affected nerve to create space and reduce pressure.
The injected solution is typically a combination of saline (salt water) and a local anesthetic to numb the area. In some cases, we may also include a corticosteroid medication to reduce inflammation and further alleviate your pain. Nerve hydrodissection can relieve pain, numbness, tingling, and other nerve-related symptoms. It does this by releasing the nerve from compression or scar tissue adhesions.
How Does Nerve Hydrodissection Work?
The procedure uses precise image guidance to ensure accurate placement of the needle. After placing the needle, a solution is injected around the nerve to separate it from nearby tissues using a hydraulic effect. This “loosening” of the nerve can reduce irritation, inflammation, and ultimately, pain.
The entire procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes only a short amount of time. You might feel a little uncomfortable during the injection, but many patients feel much better right after.
