Hydrodissection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain and improve mobility by using fluid to gently separate nerves from surrounding tissues. This technique is particularly effective for patients experiencing nerve entrapment, where a nerve is compressed by scar tissue, muscles, or other structures, leading to chronic pain, numbness, or tingling. By creating space around the nerve, hydrodissection helps reduce pressure and inflammation, allowing the nerve to function properly.
During a hydrodissection procedure, a small amount of fluid—typically a Dextrose solution or an anesthetic—is injected around the affected nerve under ultrasound guidance. This process helps to carefully separate the nerve from surrounding tissue and break down adhesions or scar tissue that may be compressing it. The fluid acts as a buffer, relieving pressure on the nerve and reducing pain.
Hydrodissection may be an excellent choice for patients with nerve pain or compression who want a non-surgical, low-risk treatment option.
Hydrodissection is effective for a variety of conditions where nerve entrapment is an issue, including:
