Advanced non surgical disc treatment for chronic back pain, neck pain, and degenerative spine conditions.
If chronic back pain, neck pain, or degenerative disc disease has started to control your daily life, you deserve more than short-term pain masking. Dynasty Health offers advanced back spine care in Phoenix for patients searching for a less invasive path before considering spine surgery. Our approach includes the Discseel procedure, an innovative treatment designed for damaged spinal discs, annular tears, herniated disc symptoms, and chronic low back pain caused by torn discs. For patients searching for degenerative disc disease Phoenix care, Dynasty Health focuses on identifying the source of pain and building personalized treatment plans around your diagnosis, goals, and recovery needs. Your consultation helps determine whether Discseel, regenerative medicine, rehabilitative care, or another treatment option fits your condition.
Medically reviewed by Dynasty Health’s regenerative spine care team. Dynasty Health is led by Dr. Mostafa Maita, Co-Founder and Chief of Regenerative Medicine and Enhanced Performance, who is double board certified in Interventional Pain and Anesthesiology, with specialized Mayo Clinic training and Discseel Procedure Master Instructor experience for low back pain and neck pain.
What Is the Discseel Procedure?
The Discseel procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to identify and seal tears in spinal discs. Many patients with chronic pain have damage in the outer ring of a disc, called the annulus fibrosus. When that outer layer tears, inflammatory material can leak toward nearby nerves, which may contribute to back pain, leg pain, numbness, stiffness, and reduced function.
During the procedure, your physician uses fluoroscopic guidance and a diagnostic test called an annulogram to identify annular tears. The official Discseel process describes injecting contrast mixed with antibiotic into each disc region to precisely locate disc tears before fibrin is placed into the damaged area.
Discseel uses fibrin sealant, a biologic material that forms inside the disc when its components are injected into the tears. Discseel describes fibrin as an FDA-approved biologic used in the disc as an accepted off-label use, and the fibrin seals disc tears while supporting tissue growth over the following months.
The goal is not to remove tissue, place screws, or fuse bones. Instead, the goal is to support natural healing while preserving spinal mobility. This makes Discseel different from spinal fusion, endoscopic spine surgery, and other minimally invasive spine surgery techniques that may involve removing tissue, entering the spinal canal, or altering anatomy.
Most patients rest briefly after the procedure, then begin assisted walking the next day as directed. Discseel’s public materials describe no major downtime, movement within 24 hours, and gradual activity increases while the discs heal slowly over several months.
Degenerative Disc Disease in Phoenix: Symptoms & Solutions
Degenerative disc disease Phoenix patients often describe pain that builds gradually and becomes harder to manage with traditional treatments. Your spinal discs work like shock absorbers between vertebrae. Over time, aging, repetitive stress, injuries, dehydration of the disc, or annular tears can weaken the structure of the disc and reduce its ability to cushion movement.
Common symptoms may include chronic back pain, low back pain, radiating leg pain, neck pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, muscle guarding, and pain that worsens with sitting, bending, lifting, or prolonged activity. Some patients also experience nerve-related symptoms when damaged disc tissue irritates nearby nerves.
Dynasty Health evaluates degenerative discs with a patient-first process that may include imaging review, physical examination, symptom mapping, prior treatment review, and functional goals.
Your care plan may include Discseel, regenerative orthobiologics, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and guided rehabilitative care. You can also explore related services through our

Back & Spine Conditions We Treat
Dynasty Health treats a range of spinal disorders that may affect your movement, comfort, and active lifestyle. Your treatment plan depends on your exam, imaging, medical history, symptoms, and how your condition affects your life.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc can occur when the inner disc material pushes through a weakened outer layer. This may irritate nerves and cause back pain, neck pain, leg pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness. Discseel may be considered when symptoms relate to torn or damaged spinal discs, especially when the disc is leaking inflammatory material.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease develops when spinal discs lose hydration, height, structure, or cushioning function. This can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and inflammation around sensitive nerves. Dynasty Health helps patients understand whether the damaged disc itself may be contributing to symptoms and whether minimally invasive treatment options may help.
Sciatica
Sciatica can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness traveling from the low back into the buttock or leg. It may happen when a disc problem irritates or compresses nerve tissue. Treatment may include diagnostic review, pain relief strategies, regenerative care, and rehabilitative support designed to improve function.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis involves narrowing around the spinal canal or nerve pathways. Symptoms may include leg pain, numbness, weakness, and walking limitations. Dynasty Health evaluates whether pain is driven by disc pathology, joint changes, muscle and nerve injuries, or other structural issues before recommending treatment.
Spondylosis
Spondylosis refers to age-related wear in the spine, including joint, disc, bone, and soft tissue changes. Many patients with spondylosis can benefit from a coordinated plan that supports pain relief, mobility, and muscle function. The right approach may include regenerative medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and non surgical care.
Neck Pain
Neck pain may come from cervical discs, joints, muscle strain, whiplash, posture-related stress, or nerve irritation. Dynasty Health treats cervical spine conditions with careful evaluation instead of assuming every neck problem needs spinal surgery. For patients from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and surrounding Arizona communities, care is built around comfort, safety, and realistic recovery goals.
Neck Pain Treatment: Serving Phoenix & Scottsdale
If you are searching for Scottsdale neck pain treatment, Dynasty Health offers advanced cervical spine care for patients who want a thoughtful, non surgical evaluation. Neck pain can come from cervical herniation, whiplash, degenerative cervical disease, annular tears, inflamed joints, nerve irritation, or muscle and nerve injuries.
Many patients travel from Scottsdale because they want spine specialists who understand regenerative care, Discseel, PRP, and minimally invasive treatment options. Your visit may include a review of prior imaging, a discussion of symptoms, and a treatment plan that may combine pain management, regenerative options, rehabilitative care, and activity guidance.
The goal is to help you find relief while protecting movement whenever possible. If your symptoms include arm pain, numbness, weakness, balance changes, or worsening neurological signs, medical professionals should evaluate you promptly to rule out serious nerve injuries.
Discseel vs Traditional Surgery vs Physical Therapy
Many patients want to know how procedures compare before making decisions that may affect a patient’s lifetime. The table below can help you understand the differences between two procedures, conservative therapy, and Discseel.
Care Option
How It Works
Recovery Time
Best Fit
Key
Discseel procedure
Uses an annulogram and fibrin sealant to identify and seal torn discs
Often outpatient, with guided activity increases
Chronic back or neck pain linked to torn spinal discs
Fibrin is used off-label in discs, and candidacy requires evaluation
Physical therapy and rehabilitative care
Builds strength, mobility, posture control, and function
Weeks to months
Many patients with mild to moderate pain or deconditioning
May not seal annular tears or treat a damaged disc directly
Endoscopic spine surgery
Uses small incisions and instruments to address select structural problems
Variable by condition
Patients with specific compression patterns
Still invasive and may not fit every disc-related pain pattern
Spinal fusion
Uses hardware to stabilize and fuse vertebrae
Often months of recovery
Severe instability or select surgical conditions
May reduce motion at the treated level
Discseel’s public materials report more than 12,500 successful procedures and a greater than 82% success rate, while also describing the procedure as an option for patients who previously had failed spine surgery, stem cell, or PRP procedures. Discseel also states that over 40% of spinal fusion patients do not have their long-term pain source addressed, at least one-third need a second or third fusion within ten years, and 70% of patients with prior failed spinal procedures have had permanent back pain relief after Discseel.
Clinical evidence is still evolving. A prospective multicenter pilot study published in Pain Medicine found that intradiscal fibrin sealant appeared safe and may improve pain and function in selected patients with discogenic pain. A later research summary noted that intra-annular fibrin bio-adhesive sealant demonstrated potential benefit for discogenic chronic low back pain and radiculopathy for at least three years, while also calling for randomized double-blind controlled trials and further analysis.
Is Discseel Right for You?
Discseel may be worth discussing if you have chronic back pain or neck pain lasting more than three months and you have not improved with traditional treatments. You may also be a candidate if imaging or clinical findings suggest annular tears, torn discs, degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, or chronic low back pain caused by damaged spinal discs.
You may be especially interested in Discseel if you have been told you are not an ideal surgical candidate, want to avoid or delay spinal fusion, or prefer minimally invasive care before considering more invasive surgery. The average spinal fusion patient may face a longer recovery, activity restrictions, and potential future adjacent-level concerns, so many patients want to understand non surgical options first.
Discseel is not right for everyone. Your physician will consider your diagnosis, imaging, symptoms, prior procedures, medical risks, and goals before making a recommendation. The consultation is designed to help you make an informed decision, not pressure you into a procedure.

Insurance, Out-of-Pocket Costs, and Payment Transparency
Insurance plans vary in how they handle Discseel, biologic spine procedures, imaging, office visits, rehabilitative care, and related pain management services. Some patients may have partial coverage for evaluation, diagnostics, or associated care, while the procedure itself may involve out-of-pocket costs depending on the plan.
Coverage and insurance payouts are not guaranteed. A VA clinical determination notes that fibrin is FDA-approved for certain uses, but its application in spinal disc repair has not been FDA-approved for that specific indication and may be considered investigational by some payers.
During your consultation, Dynasty Health can help you understand the recommended treatment, expected cost considerations, and available payment pathways before you decide how to move forward.
