Annular Tear is a condition where one of the intervertebral discs tears, compromising the support of the spine.
Ideally, an annular tear can be treated without any type of surgical procedure. Many potential non-surgical treatments include pain medication, epidural injections, deep tissue massages, and several other options. If these don’t respond, we’ll use our minimally invasive AccuCision® Spine procedure to repair the damaged disc and stop the pain caused by the annular tear. Unlike painful and invasive traditional surgery, our procedure requires minimal incisions and usually no hospital stay at all.
