I had long been suffering from excruciating back pain that sometimes extended into my legs. With every treatment attempt, the first advice I heard from doctors was “surgical treatment.” However, the idea of undergoing surgery caused me constant stress and anxiety, especially given the long recovery times and potential complications. Amidst this hesitation, I learned about the non-surgical disc vaporization and suction technique offered by Professor Dr. Hesham El-Azzizi, a specialist in pain management and interventional spine surgery.
I decided to give it a try after reviewing several previous patients’ reviews. I found this technique offered real hope for recovery without traditional surgery. From there, my treatment journey with Dr. Hesham began, the details of which I will detail in this article.
My experience with non-surgical cartilage suction with Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi
When I first started experiencing lower back pain, I never imagined it would progress to the point where it would affect my entire lifestyle. I thought it was just a temporary strain or muscle pull caused by prolonged sitting or lack of movement. But over time, the symptoms worsened, and the pain began to spread to my legs, making it difficult for me to walk, sleep, and even perform the simplest daily tasks.
I visited several doctors, most of whom confirmed that I was suffering from a herniated disc in my lumbar vertebrae, and that the only solution was surgery. I didn’t accept the idea of surgery easily, especially given the experiences I’d read of people who had undergone surgery and experienced complications or whose condition didn’t improve as desired. I began researching non-surgical alternatives, and that’s when my true journey with non-surgical disc vaporization and suction began .
What is non-surgical cartilage vaporization and suction?
Before delving into the details of my experience, I’d like to clarify the concept of non-surgical disc vaporization and suction.
It’s a modern technique used to treat herniated discs in the lumbar and cervical regions. A fine needle is inserted into the affected disc under X-ray guidance. The disc is then vaporized using thermal energy or a thin beam (such as a laser or radiofrequency), reducing its size and relieving pressure on the nerves.
Non-surgical disc vaporization and suction is considered one of the most successful and safest modern methods for treating mild to moderate herniated discs. It helps reduce pain without the need for surgical incision or a long recovery period.
A life without pain thanks to Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi
My experience with non-surgical cartilage vaporization and suction under the supervision of Professor Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi was amazing by all standards. The results exceeded my expectations and transformed my life from a cycle of pain to an oasis of comfort and vitality. I now live my life normally, exercise, and enjoy every moment without fear of the return of that excruciating pain.
I realized that choosing the right doctor is half the battle. Professor Hesham El-Azzizi is not only a skilled physician in his specialty, but he is also a professional, understanding, and genuinely concerned about his patients’ well-being. His extensive experience in pain management and minimally invasive spine surgery, in addition to his expertise in anesthesia and intensive care, made me feel safe and confident in his hands. His ability to explain complex procedures in a simple and reassuring manner, and his focus on non-surgical solutions, make him the ideal choice for anyone seeking healing without the risks of traditional surgery.
If you suffer from a herniated disc, any spinal condition, or advanced knee osteoarthritis that is causing you pain, I confidently recommend you visit Professor Hisham Al-Azzizi. Don’t hesitate to explore the available non-surgical options; they may be the solution you’ve been searching for for years.
Advantages of evaporating and suctioning cartilage without surgery
From my personal experience, I can summarize the most prominent advantages of this technology in the following points:
- No need for traditional surgery or general anesthesia.
- The procedure is short and can be performed on the same day without a hospital stay.
- Fast recovery and quick return to daily activities.
- Reducing the chances of complications that may accompany surgical operations.
- High accuracy thanks to the use of guided beams.
Safety and effectiveness, especially under the supervision of an expert like Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi.

How to perform radiofrequency cartilage suction
1. Accurate examination and diagnosis:
Before starting any procedure, accurate examinations are performed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scans, to accurately determine the size and location of the herniated disc.
2. Determining the suitability of the case for radiofrequency ablation:
Not every patient is a candidate for this type of treatment; therefore, the doctor evaluates the case to ensure that the herniated disc can be reduced using radiofrequency ablation without the need for major surgical intervention.
3. Patient preparation and procedure under local anesthesia:
The patient is prepared in a small operating room, and only local anesthesia is used, making the procedure safer and less risky than open surgeries.
4. Inserting a fine needle into the cartilage site:
Using interventional radiology (such as X-ray or fluoroscopy), the doctor inserts a very fine needle into the affected area through the skin without surgery.
5. Using a radiofrequency probe:
A special probe is passed through the needle to reach the center of the slipped cartilage, and begins emitting high-precision radiofrequency waves to generate computer-controlled heat.
6. Vaporization of a portion of the cartilage nucleus:
The heat generated by the radiofrequency vaporizes a portion of the cartilage nucleus, reducing its size and relieving pressure on the adjacent nerve.
7. Close monitoring throughout the procedure:
The doctor monitors the condition closely and continuously throughout the procedure to ensure that the needle and probe are directed to the correct location with millimeter accuracy.
8. Withdraw the instruments and close the entry site:
After the steaming is complete, the needle and probe are withdrawn, and the entry site is closed with only a small bandage without the need for stitches or a surgical incision.
9. Same-day discharge:
The patient can leave the center on the same day, and is advised to rest for several days with a gradual return to activity.
10. Effective results and high safety:
Radiofrequency cartilage suction is considered one of the safest and most effective procedures for reducing pain and improving quality of life without the need for major surgery.
My experience with non-surgical cartilage vaporization and suction was a turning point in my health and proved to me that there are effective and safe solutions outside of traditional surgery. I sincerely thank Dr. Hesham El-Azzizi, who combined high professionalism with genuine concern for the patient’s condition. I advise anyone suffering from cartilage problems to visit his clinic and take advantage of the latest treatment methods under the guidance of one of the best doctors in the field.
The most common questions about cartilage suction
It is a medical procedure in which a portion of the herniated disc that is pressing on the nerves is removed using a fine needle or endoscope without major surgery.
When conservative treatments such as medications and physical therapy fail, and pain or numbness persists due to the disc pressing on the nerve.
It is usually performed under local or light anesthesia, and the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
Cartilage suction is less invasive, does not require a large surgical incision, and has a faster recovery period and fewer complications. When is a disc aspiration recommended?
