A Non-Surgical Breakthrough for Damaged Spinal Discs.
Board-certified, military-trained spine care for chronic back and neck pain — without major surgery. Trusted by veterans, athletes, and working professionals.
Understanding the Procedure
What Is the Discseel® Procedure?
The Discseel® Procedure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for patients seeking relief from chronic back and neck pain caused by torn or damaged spinal discs. It is an evidence-based approach — known clinically as Intradiscal Fibrin Therapy — pioneered by Dr. Kevin Pauza, that targets the underlying cause of spinal disc pain by sealing damaged discs and restoring structural integrity. Available on the Emerald Coast at our Destin clinic.
Many patients come to us after injections, physical therapy, or even prior surgery have failed to bring lasting relief — and after being told that major spinal surgery is their only remaining option. The Discseel® Procedure is a proven non-surgical alternative to spinal fusion. By repairing the disc and restoring stability, patients can regain mobility, strength, and performance without the risks of major spine surgery.
Dr. Gerald Mastaw is an authorized licensee of the Discseel® Procedure.
