Enzyme Injection for Bulging Disc Relief

The provider performs this procedure, called chemonucleolysis, by injecting an enzyme into a lumbar vertebral disc to dissolve the bulging nucleus pulposus, or the gel like center of the spinal disc. The provider also performs a discography using fluoroscopy to locate the disc and determine the exact area where the injection should be given. This procedure treats a herniated disc and relieves back pain as a result of bulging disc material that is putting pressure on the spinal nerve.
