Is neck pain interfering with your daily life? Sometimes neck pain can be caused by problems in the spine, including a herniated or bulging disc. Dr. Gerald E. Grubbs, M.D. at Sarasota Interventional Radiology, in Sarasota County, Florida, offers a state-of-the-art technique that can help ease neck pain. Plasma Disc Decompression is a non-surgical and fast-acting option to drug therapies and steroid injections. It can treat a variety back and neck conditions.

Herniated or bulging disc is a common back problem that results from a spinal imbalance. It may create radiating pain in the low back, neck, and lower extremities. The pain is caused by the pressure that this bulging or herniated disc places on nearby spinal nerves. One of the latest forms of herniated disc treatment is Plasma Disc Decompression. Dr. Gerald E. Grubbs, MD, a board-certified and fellowship trained interventional radiologist, performs this cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure

Plasma Disc Decompression releases the pressure on the herniated disc by introducing a micro-engineered alloy transmitter into the effected disc. It then sends radio wave signals through the transmitter into the jelly-like nucleus of the disc. The radio waves produce a low-temperature ionized gas or plasma that breaks up molecular bonds in the spongy nucleus, removing tissue volume, thereby relieving pressure, reducing irritation of the spinal nerves, and easing back and neck pain. Plasma Disc Decompression is an effective procedure that only takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
