High-Frequency Nucleus Decompression is a non-surgical treatment method that uses a radiographic imaging device to insert a special needle into the disc and applies high-frequency thermal energy to decompress the disc or selectively treat nerves that cause pain. It is effective for various disc diseases, but it is particularly effective for herniated cervical discs.
+ Treatment method
After skin anesthesia, a special tube is inserted through a needle in the disc using a radiographic image enhancer. Then high-frequency thermal energy is applied to solidify the damaged area.
