Spinal pain is treated non-invasively by operating a scanning apparatus to locate a spinal disc afflicted with cracks or fissures, and applying waveform energy to the afflicted spinal disc to heat the spinal disc sufficiently to modify collagen fibers of the spinal disc and destroy pain receptors in the spinal disc. The scanning apparatus may be an ultrasound scanner, while the treatment waveform energy may be ultrasonic waveform energy. The applying of the waveform energy includes generating ultrasonic pressure waves in the spinal disc.

La douleur spinale est traitée d'une manière non invasive en utilisant un appareil de balayage permettant de localiser un disque spinal craquelé ou fissuré, et en appliquant une énergie de type à formes d'ondes au disque spinal affecté pour le chauffer suffisamment et modifier ainsi les fibres de collagène qui le constituent et détruire les récepteurs de la douleur dans le disque spinal. L'appareil de balayage peut être un scanner à ultrasons, tandis que l'énergie de type à formes d'ondes peut être une énergie de type à formes d'ondes ultrasonores. L'application de l'énergie de type à formes d'ondes comprend la génération d'ondes de pression ultrasonores dans le disque spinal.
