Non-Surgical Solution for Lasting Back Pain Relief
Non-Surgical Solution for Back Pain Relief
Many people suffer from chronic back pain, falling into two common categories. Some are told they are not candidates for major surgery, while others are candidates but actively seek a less invasive alternative. Dr. Workman specializes in helping both groups.
He utilizes approaches like The Discseel Procedure, which addresses both needs. For the patient who isn’t a surgical candidate, it bridges the gap between ineffective conservative treatments and living with pain. For patients who are surgical candidates, Discseel provides a valuable alternative to a major operation.

These are tears in the tough, fibrous outer ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc, often causing pain and potentially allowing the inner gel-like material (nucleus pulposus) to protrude.
This occurs when the entire intervertebral disc extends or “bulges” out of its normal space, remaining intact but putting pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord.
This is the natural, age-related wear and tear of one or more intervertebral discs, leading to dehydration, loss of height, and often resulting in pain and instability.
This is a more severe condition where a crack in the annulus fibrosus allows the inner, soft nucleus pulposus to push out and press directly on adjacent spinal nerves.
This is a symptom, not a diagnosis, characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve (from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down one leg), usually caused by nerve compression from a herniated disc or bone spur.
