Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve in the back can cause sensations from dull discomfort to intense, radiating pain. At East Coast Discseel in Delray Beach, Florida, we often see patients who’ve struggled with symptoms for months, or even years, without a clear solution. If you’ve been told you have a herniated disc or suspect a pinched nerve might be behind your pain, it’s worth understanding how these issues are connected, and how the Discseel® procedure may offer lasting relief.
How a Herniated Disc Leads to a Pinched Nerve
Your spine is made up of vertebrae cushioned by discs that provide shock absorption. These discs have a tough outer layer and a soft, gel-like center. When the outer layer tears, whether from injury, wear and tear, or degeneration, the inner material can bulge out. That’s called a herniated disc.
When a disc herniates, it can press on nearby nerves, leading to what’s commonly called a pinched nerve. Depending on where this occurs in the spine, you may feel symptoms in your neck and upper limbs, or your lower back and legs. Some people experience sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Others feel an aching pressure that doesn’t go away with rest.
Why Conservative Treatments Don’t Always Solve the Problem
Many people with herniated discs and pinched nerves try physical therapy, medications, or even anti-inflammatory injections. While these treatments may ease symptoms temporarily, they don’t repair the torn disc itself. As long as the disc remains damaged and unstable, symptoms can keep returning.
That’s why patients with chronic disc-related pain often feel like they’re chasing short-term relief rather than getting real resolution.
How the Discseel® Procedure Targets the Source
East Coast Discseel offers a nonsurgical solution designed to treat the real issue: the torn spinal disc. The Discseel® procedure, performed at our Delray Beach, Florida, clinic by Eric Bjerke, D.C., with anesthesiology by Dr. Robert Lentz, M.D., uses a special biologic called Fibrin that’s injected into the damaged disc. Fibrin helps seal the tear and promotes healing, reinforcing the disc’s structure and preventing further nerve compression.
Because the procedure is done without cutting or removing tissue, recovery is faster than with traditional surgery, and there's no need for hardware like screws or implants.
Getting the Right Diagnosis Matters
If you’ve been diagnosed with a pinched nerve or herniated disc and haven’t found relief with conservative care, you don’t have to settle for ongoing pain. The team at East Coast Discseel uses advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques to identify the cause of your symptoms and determine whether you're a good candidate for disc sealing.
