Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Hydrodissection

What is Nerve Hydrodissection?

 

Peripheral nerve hydrodissection is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat nerve entrapments and irritation. Many painful conditions occur when nerves become compressed or stuck to surrounding tissue. Hydrodissection works by gently separating the nerve from these tight spaces using a precisely delivered solution (such as saline, anesthetic, or regenerative medicine), giving the nerve room to move and function normally again.​

 

How is it Performed?

​

Using real-time ultrasound guidance, our providers visualize the affected nerve and surrounding structures.

• A thin needle is carefully advanced to the exact treatment area.

• A specialized solution is then injected around the nerve, freeing it from adhesion and reducing irritation.

• The entire procedure is done in the office, typically within 30–45 minutes, with patients awake and comfortable throughout.​

 

What Patients Can Expect

​​

• Minimally invasive, no surgery required

• Little to no downtime—most patients return to daily activities quickly

• Relief may be noticed immediately, with continued improvement over several weeks

• Safe, precise, and highly effective when performed by experienced providers

​

Conditions Treated with Nerve Hydrodissection

 

Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection can help with a variety of painful conditions, including:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Cubital tunnel syndrome

• Sciatic nerve irritation

• Piriformis syndrome

• Nerve-related pain after surgery or injury
