Cervical disc problems — herniated discs, annular tears, and degenerative disc disease — are a leading cause of chronic neck pain. For many patients, non-surgical approaches including biologic disc repair with intra-annular fibrin injection may reduce pain and restore function without surgery. Candidacy is evaluated individually; outcomes vary by case and disc condition.

Persistent sciatica does not always require fusion surgery. This guide explores biologic disc repair and other non-surgical alternatives for patients who have not found lasting relief through conservative care — including candidacy criteria and what the evidence shows.

A herniated disc occurs when inner disc material pushes through a tear in the outer ring, pressing on spinal nerves. Learn what a herniated disc is, how traditional treatments fall short for many patients, and how non-surgical options like biologic disc repair and intra-annular fibrin injection may help — with candidacy and outcomes evaluated individually.

Degenerative disc disease does not follow a single treatment path. For some individuals, biologic disc repair and other non-surgical approaches offer meaningful alternatives to spinal fusion — though candidacy depends on each person's anatomy, diagnosis, and prior treatment history.
