The Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital has launched two new procedures for controlling pain caused by spinal nerve disc compression.
According to reports from the Ministry of Health, the techniques, incorporated into the hospital's Pain Unit, are "minimally invasive", requiring only local anesthesia and can be performed "on an outpatient basis."
The head of the Unit, Dr. María del Mar Domínguez, has emphasized that "intradiscal procedures allow the treatment of degenerative pathologies of the intervertebral disc such as disc protrusions, hernias, and pain caused by compression or irritation of the spinal nerve, so they are indicated in those patients with a disabling painful disc herniation as an alternative to surgery."
The Ministry of Health reports that for the incorporation of these new procedures into the Hospital's service portfolio, they have had the collaboration of the head of the Pain Unit of the QuirónSalud University Hospital of Madrid, David Abejón, and the head of the Pain Unit of the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Ourense, María Luz Cánovas, who have provided advice for the optimal development of both techniques.
One of them bases its operation "on the innovative quantum molecular resonance technology QMR", while the other intradiscal therapy consists of the application through a needle of a gel with a powerful anti-inflammatory action "that retracts the hernia and reduces pain."
