Algarve Percutaneous Hydrotomy

At Spiralis Health Concept in Tavira, Percutaneous Hydrotomy is used as an innovative, minimally invasive technique to treat joint pain, disc degeneration and chronic inflammatory processes.

Its aim is to rehydrate, nourish and regenerate the affected tissues — restoring mobility, flexibility and wellbeing.

In just a few sessions, many patients report a significant improvement in pain and joint function, with progressive and long-lasting results.

What is Percutaneous Hydrotomy?

Percutaneous Hydrotomy is a local medical technique that involves injecting an isotonic saline solution combined with trace elements and vitamins directly under the skin, in the affected areas.

This process creates a “therapeutic cushion” that enables controlled diffusion of nutrients, supporting hydration, microcirculation and cellular regeneration.

At Spiralis, this technique is performed within an Integrative Medicine context, combining structural correction with metabolic rebalancing, which substantially increases the effectiveness of treatment.

How does this technique work?

Through targeted subcutaneous infiltration, Percutaneous Hydrotomy acts precisely on the injured area, promoting:

• Rehydration of intervertebral discs and joint tissues;

• Nerve decompression and reduced lower back and neck pain;

• Improved cellular oxygenation and local microcirculation;

• Natural anti-inflammatory action and stimulation of tissue regeneration;

• Reduced stiffness and increased joint mobility.

This technique stands out for treating the cause, not just the symptom — restoring balance to the body’s biological and structural terrain.

Indications and applications

Percutaneous Hydrotomy can be successfully applied to a range of conditions, including:

• Back pain (neck, thoracic, lower back)

• Herniated discs and disc degeneration

• Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease (knee, hip, shoulder, fingers, etc.)

• Sciatica and neuralgia

• Post-operative fibrosis and painful scars

• Bursitis and tendinitis

• Vertebral compression and spinal canal narrowing

• Persistent joint and muscle pain

• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders

• Degenerative conditions

• Stress, fatigue and multifactorial pain

Observed benefits

The effects of Percutaneous Hydrotomy go beyond pain relief:

• Deep hydration of tissues and intervertebral discs

• Improved joint mobility

• Reduced inflammation and muscle contractures

• Local ionic and metabolic rebalancing

• Gradual and long-lasting cellular regeneration

• Reduced need for anti-inflammatory medication

“Treating the terrain means addressing the cause — not simply silencing the symptom.”

How does a session at Spiralis (Tavira) work?

Each session is preceded by a comprehensive assessment — postural, clinical and functional — to determine the most appropriate protocol.

The application is performed using precise manual techniques and may include mesoperfusion or subcutaneous micro-injections, depending on the area and therapeutic goal.

The procedure is quick, well tolerated and generally comfortable, using local anaesthesia when needed for added comfort.

On average, the initial protocol includes 4 to 6 sessions, with the option of periodic maintenance top-ups, depending on the case.

Safety and tolerance

Percutaneous Hydrotomy is a safe, physiological and well-tolerated technique, with minimal side effects.

It does not cause dependency, does not interfere with other medical treatments, and is suitable for adults and seniors.

All aseptic precautions and clinical safety measures are taken, ensuring the patient’s comfort and wellbeing at every stage.

Results and maintenance

After a few sessions, it is common to observe:

• A significant reduction in pain and inflammation;

• Progressive recovery of mobility;

• Greater postural and functional comfort;

• Improved overall quality of life.

Maintenance is recommended in chronic cases, as part of a prevention and ongoing regeneration plan.
