Stem Cell Therapy: Non-Invasive Back Pain Treatment

People with degenerative disc disease or damaged spinal facet joints struggle with chronic back pain and the hope of finding a long-term solution was dim.

Not anymore.

Patients with degenerative disc disease and facet damage have benefitted a great deal from cutting edge stem cell therapy. The treatment has shown restoration of disc height, decreased inflammation and reduced pain in back pain patients.

Good Candidates for Stem Cell Treatment for Back Pain

If you suffer from back pain due to a herniated disc or facet joint degeneration or trauma, degenerative disc disease or spinal facet disease, you are a good candidate for stem cell treatment for back pain.

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)

Do not go on enduring chronic pain. If you are suffering from undiagnosed, chronic low back pain that prevents you from living a normal life, consult a pain doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Degenerative disc disease is one of the top causes of lower back pain. Intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers, allowing us to flex, twist and bend the spine. With age, the discs undergo wear and tear. But this degeneration can speed up or worsen due to arthritis, injury and extreme overuse from a repetitive activity.

DDD patients lose healthy structural cells of the disc. As normal healthy cells are damaged and hydration is lost, the disc’s internal structure is damaged and the disc breaks down. The patient’s experienced reduced mobility, stiffness, weakness and chronic pain.

Stem cell treatment for DDD involves injecting your own stem cells into the discs. This helps to repair and restore the disc structure. Stem cells also increase hydration in the discs, and function thus decreasing back pain.

Spinal facet disease

Spinal facet joints stabilize the spine. However, they may get injured in injuries, such as auto or sports accidents. The surface of facet joints is covered with cartilage which is prone to arthritis like in the knees.

Back pain caused due to facet degeneration can occur on just one side or both sides of the spine. Facet pain diagnosis starts with a physical exam, X-rays and MRIs. Diagnostic injections using local anesthetic and/or steroid medication may also be required.

If you’ve been diagnosed with either degenerative disc disease or spinal facet disease, stem cell therapy can help the body in naturally repairing itself.

Stem cells can decrease inflammation and speed up healing. Stem cells also hold the potential to help injured cartilage, tendons, bone, muscle, ligaments and vertebral disc cartilage regenerate.
