Experience long-lasting relief by scheduling a consultation today. Call (877) 381-4115 or schedule online for your appointment now.
Nerve Hydrodissection
Nerve entrapment, or a pinched nerve, occurs when ongoing pressure is placed on the nerve, often from inflamed soft tissues near the nerve. Over time, scar tissue develops that limits normal movement of the tissues, a problem that hydrodissection treats.
During hydrodissection, your provider performs an ultrasound-guided injection, guiding the needle to the pinched nerve and then injecting an anesthetic or saline (salt) solution. The solution separates the nerve from the surrounding tissues, allowing the structures to glide normally.
When you suffer from pain, swelling, or limited movement, call The How Clinic or schedule an appointment online to explore how a musculoskeletal ultrasound may help find the cause.
Hydrodissection Studies
Comparing Hydrodissection Fluids: Efficacy & Safety for Nerve Entrapment Relief
This systematic review investigates the effectiveness and safety of various injectates (e.g., saline, dextrose, PRP) for ultrasound-guided hydrodissection in treating peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes like carpal tunnel syndrome. It highlights injectate-specific outcomes and supports hydrodissection as a safe and effective option for nerve decompression.
The Role of Ultrasound-Guided Hydrodissection in Nerve Entrapment Care
This article provides an overview of the role of ultrasound imaging in diagnosing and treating peripheral nerve entrapments, emphasizing hydrodissection as a technique for nerve decompression. It explores the procedural benefits and supports hydrodissection as a mainstream intervention for managing nerve entrapments.
Hydrodissection and Neuropathic Pain: Mechanisms and Emerging Evidence
A comprehensive review of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection as a treatment for neuropathic pain and nerve entrapment syndromes. It examines the theoretical mechanisms, including the mechanical and possible biochemical effects of injectates, while advocating for further research on dextrose-based hydrodissection.
Hydrodissection Success in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: A Case Report
A case report showcasing the successful use of hydrodissection to treat vascular thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS). The report illustrates symptom resolution after decompression of the subclavicular neurovascular bundle and calls for additional studies on hydrodissection for vTOS.
Combining Hydrodissection with Tendon and Nerve Glides for Carpal Tunnel
A novel study combining hydrodissection with active tendon and nerve gliding exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This treatment demonstrated results comparable to surgical release, suggesting a potential new approach to managing CTS.
Ulnar Nerve Relief in Athletes: A Hydrodissection Case Study
A case report detailing ultrasound-guided hydrodissection of the ulnar nerve in a collegiate baseball pitcher experiencing dynamic ulnar neuritis. The procedure successfully relieved symptoms associated with fascial adhesion at the medial elbow.
Hydrodissection for Radial Tunnel Syndrome: A Minimally Invasive Solution
This case series and literature review investigates hydrodissection as a treatment for radial tunnel syndrome (RTS). It highlights significant symptom relief and positions hydrodissection as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for radial nerve compression.
Resolving Chronic Hamstring Pain with Fascial Hydrodissection
Case studies demonstrating the use of hydrodissection for treating chronic hamstring injuries. The procedure provided immediate pain relief and improved function in athletes, addressing fascial adhesions that impair recovery.
Targeted Hydrodissection for Shoulder Pain: A Case Presentation
A clinical poster presenting a case of hydrodissection for anterior shoulder pain in a former athlete, focusing on supraclavicular nerve impingement. The treatment achieved significant pain reduction and functional improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nerve hydrodissection?
A small amount of fluid, usually saline, is injected into the tissue using a needle or catheter. The fluid is then spread through the tissue to create a separation between the target structure and surrounding tissues. Hydrodissection is a non-surgical, minimally invasive medical procedure in which a small amount of fluid is injected into the tissue to separate it from surrounding structures.
How is nerve hydrodissection performed?
A small amount of fluid, usually saline, is injected into the tissue using a needle or catheter. The fluid is then spread through the tissue to create a separation between the target structure and surrounding tissues. Hydrodissection is a non-surgical, minimally invasive medical procedure in which a small amount of fluid is injected into the tissue to separate it from surrounding structures.
What conditions can be treated with nerve hydrodissection?
Carpal tunnel pain, rotator cuff issues, muscle pain, and joint pain are among common conditions treated with hydrodissection.
Is nerve hydrodissection safe?
Hydrodissection is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of complications, such as infection, bleeding, or nerve damage.
What is the recovery time for nerve hydrodissection?
Recovery time for hydrodissection varies depending on the specific procedure and the individual’s condition. In some cases, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling for a few days after the procedure, while in others, there may be no noticeable side effects.
How long does nerve hydrodissections last?
The duration of the effects of hydrodissection depends on several factors.
In some cases, the effects of hydrodissection can be immediate and provide instant pain relief. However, it is important to note that the long-term duration of pain relief or other therapeutic effects can vary from individual to individual and is dependant on the condition being treated. The benefits of hydrodissection may last for several weeks, months, or years, while others may experience long-term effects. Your provider often recommends multiple sessions of hydrodissection for optimal results.
