Fibrin treatment for back pain uses a natural healing protein to seal damaged spinal discs, promoting repair and pain relief. This non-surgical solution targets the root cause, restoring activity and function according to leading medical research.
Chronic back pain can sideline even the most active people, leading to frustration and lost independence. Fibrin treatment for back pain gives you a real chance to reclaim the activities you love—without surgery, long recovery times, or sacrificing mobility. That’s life-changing for anyone eager to stay active. Learn more about Dr. Matthias Wiederholz, MD’s expertise in regenerative spine care.

As a quadruple board-certified interventional pain and regenerative medicine specialist, I bring both technical mastery and deep empathy to fibrin treatment for back pain.
Fibrin treatment for back pain is a non-surgical regenerative option where a biologic fibrin sealant (a natural protein that supports healing) is injected to repair damaged spinal discs and relieve chronic symptoms. For active individuals in Houston, this approach offers renewed hope—addressing the root problem, not just masking pain.
Having seen firsthand how persistent spinal pain disrupts everything from work to favorite activities, I know that restoring your function and independence is more than a medical goal—it’s a quality-of-life imperative. According to comprehensive clinical evidence, biologic therapies like spinal disc fibrin injection can promote true disc repair and help patients reclaim their lives.
Ready to explore a safe, personalized alternative—without surgery or lengthy downtime? This guide explains everything you need to know. For additional insights, read about the guide to spinal disc tears.
Fibrin treatment for back pain is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fibrin sealant (a natural protein involved in your body's healing) to repair small tears in spinal discs and relieve pain at its source. This non-surgical approach is ideal for anyone eager to reclaim an active lifestyle without the risks and downtime of traditional surgery.
In short: Fibrin treatment for back pain repairs damaged spinal discs using a biologic sealant, directly targeting the painful source and promoting real healing.
Fibrin acts like your body’s natural biological “glue.” When injected into a problematic disc, it forms a supportive mesh that seals small cracks (called annular tears) in the outer layer. This not only stabilizes the disc but interrupts the painful inflammatory cycle.
In my practice, I frequently encounter patients who have spent years exploring various treatments—from complex surgeries to chronic pain medications—without real relief. Many are surprised to learn that a natural, precision treatment like Discseel® can help the disc heal itself and restore normal function.
Clinical research supports fibrin-based injection therapy as a regenerative solution for severe disc-related back pain, delivering outcomes that address the root problem—not just masking symptoms. Read more about clinical evidence for fibrin therapies.
For more about disc healing, see our disc tear treatment overview.
Unlike steroids or nerve blocks, which may offer only temporary inflammation reduction, fibrin sealant actually repairs the disc’s structure. While steroid injections can temporarily “turn down the volume” of pain, only fibrin targets the source—helping your body regenerate the torn disc wall. That’s what enables long-lasting pain reduction and real functional improvement.

The Discseel® Procedure uses advanced image guidance to deliver biologic fibrin sealant exactly where your disc needs repair. I perform this as an outpatient procedure—no hospital stay, no general anesthesia.
As a quadruple board-certified regenerative medicine specialist and master instructor for Discseel®, I ensure each step is tailored for your unique anatomy and lifestyle goals. The accuracy and personalization of this process directly translate to better patient outcomes.
Review of the latest medical studies confirm that regenerative disc repair with biologic sealant, as in the Discseel® Procedure, achieves long-term pain reduction and restored mobility for most individuals suffering with chronic discogenic back pain.

Most patients begin noticing early pain relief within weeks and often return to regular activities days after treatment. Many find the recovery process quicker and easier compared to traditional spinal surgeries, preferring it over procedures involving surgical hardware or immobilization.
For patient experiences, see our Discseel® reviews and lasting back pain relief.
Fibrin-based disc repair stands apart from spinal fusion and invasive surgeries—especially for those who value movement and fast recovery.
As a specialist, I’ve treated many patients frustrated with pain “returning” or worsening after surgery. Unlike fusion, Discseel® allows your spine to function fully and naturally, with optimal safety and minimal downtime.
Research comparing regenerative approaches to surgery shows better results for functionality and pain relief, especially over the long term. Explore research on spine pain intervention outcomes.

Discseel®’s goal is more than pain relief—it’s restoration of healthy, dynamic living. In my Houston and Lawrenceville clinics, patients are back on golf courses, in fitness classes, and playing with grandchildren weeks after their procedure—rather than months after surgery.
Systematic reviews further support that regenerative disc therapies yield dependable, sustainable benefits with high satisfaction rates for chronic back pain sufferers. See systematic review on outcomes.

Professional Assessment:
As a quadruple board-certified regenerative specialist, I’ve seen that matching the right technique—finding the actual cause using advanced imaging and then applying Discseel®—is what leads to the best results for my patients.
However, the Discseel® Procedure is not suitable for every case. Individuals with severe spinal instability, untreated infections, or certain autoimmune conditions may require alternative treatments. Potential risks include temporary soreness, tingling, mild swelling at the injection site, and rare chances of infection or allergic reactions to the biologic material. Notably, there is no risk of hardware movement or surgical wound breakdown associated with this procedure.
Nonetheless, if you experience severe weakness, sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness in the groin or inner thigh, seek emergency medical care immediately, as these symptoms may indicate a serious spinal issue. For more urgent concerns, be sure to understand emergency symptoms of a herniated disc.

"My Chiropractor, Dr. Garbs, referred me to Dr. Wiederholz for pain management. Everyone spoke wonders of him and his practice so I was excited to see what he could do for me and my neck/back pain. He did my steroid injections procedure and got me back to normal 100%. Him and his team are so kind and explained everything so well. They took very good care of me from the office, to the visit, to the OSD surgical center, to post op. Highly recommend Dr. Wiederholz!" — Veronica Read more Google reviews here
