Can a nerve regenerate without surgery? This case suggests yes.
In this episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Dr. Erin Nelson to review a rare EMG-documented case of nerve regeneration after ultrasound-guided Hydrodissection with D5W — no scalpel required.
A 56-year-old woman developed sudden foot drop due to deep peroneal nerve entrapment. After two D5W Hydrodissection sessions, a 4-month repeat EMG showed significant interval improvement in demyelination + axonal injury. Objective. Measurable. Independent neurologist confirmed.
🎯 What you'll learn in this episode: • Why 5% dextrose (D5W) outperforms saline in Hydrodissection • The exact protocol Dr. Nelson uses (volume, frequency, technique) • When to choose Hydrodissection vs. surgical decompression • Implications for patients with diabetic neuropathy • The difference between glucose puncture vs Hydrodissection
This may become one of the most important clinical conversations in the nerve pain / peripheral neuropathy space.
