What is VIA Disc NP?

VIA Disc NP is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that treats degenerated lumbar intervertebral discs, a common cause of long-term lower back pain. Your intervertebral discs are the soft, cushioning structures between the vertebrae that absorb shock and help your spine bend, twist, and move freely.

Over time, these discs lose hydration and structural integrity. This is caused by aging, injury, or wear-and-tear, leading to discogenic lower back pain, which feels like a deep ache that’s difficult to pinpoint.

Is the VIA Disc NP procedure safe?

Yes, the VIA Disc NP procedure is considered a safe, effective choice for many patients suffering from lower back pain caused by disc degeneration.

The Alliance Spine & Pain team performs the minimally invasive procedure on an outpatient basis. It offers a shortened recovery time, lowers the risk of complications, and eliminates the need for large surgical incisions and general anesthesia.

How does VIA Disc NP work?

Your Alliance Spine & Disc physician injects an allograft of nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue — donated material that mimics the natural core of a healthy intervertebral disc — directly into your degenerated lumbar disc. To ensure precise placement, they guide the injection using fluoroscopy, a real-time X-ray technique.

The biologic material supports disc hydration and structure, helping restore natural disc cushioning and function.
