What is Nucleoplasty?

Nucleoplasty is a minimally invasive spine procedure used to treat herniated or bulging discs. By using radiofrequency technology, a small amount of disc material is removed, reducing the pressure on nearby nerves that cause pain, numbness, or weakness.

This procedure is especially effective for patients who have not improved with medications or physiotherapy but are not ready for major spine surgery.

Who is Nucleoplasty Suitable For?

You may be a candidate for Nucleoplasty if you have:

  • Herniated or bulging disc (slipped disc)
  • Chronic back pain not relieved by conservative treatment
  • Pain radiating to the legs (sciatica)
  • Nerve compression symptoms (numbness, tingling, weakness)
  • Persistent lower back pain interfering with daily life

Benefits of Nucleoplasty

  • ✅ Minimally invasive procedure
  • ✅ Performed under local anesthesia
  • ✅ Short recovery time
  • ✅ Less tissue damage compared to open surgery
  • ✅ Effective pain relief for herniated discs
