Nerve Hydrodissection

Nerve hydrodissection is an ultrasound-guided injection procedure that uses fluid to separate an irritated or entrapped nerve from the scar tissue or fascia compressing it, relieving pressure on the nerve.

Using real-time ultrasound guidance, Dr. Green precisely injects fluid around the entrapped nerve, gently freeing it from surrounding tissue without surgery.

Most patients feel mild pressure or a brief stinging sensation during the injection, similar to a standard injection.

A steroid injection primarily reduces inflammation. Nerve hydrodissection is specifically designed to mechanically free a nerve that's physically trapped by surrounding scar tissue or fascia.

It's commonly used for nerve entrapment conditions such as carpal tunnel-related nerve compression, cubital tunnel syndrome, peroneal nerve entrapment, and nerve pain following surgery or injury.

Many patients notice improvement within days to a few weeks as inflammation around the nerve settles and the entrapment is relieved.

Many patients see lasting relief after a single treatment. Dr. Green may recommend a follow-up treatment depending on how you respond.

It's a well-tolerated, minimally invasive procedure. As with any injection, there is a small risk of minor soreness or bruising at the injection site.

People experiencing chronic tingling, numbness, or pain from a nerve entrapment who want to avoid surgical release are often good candidates. Dr. Green will evaluate your specific condition to confirm.
