Regenerative therapy for back pain
Back pain is a common issue that can severely limit one’s quality of life. Millions of Americans suffer from back pain. The most common type of back pain is lower back pain, which can be caused by a variety of factors. For some people, lower back pain is the result of an injury, such as playing sports or exercising. Others may experience back pain due to medical conditions like arthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, or sciatica.
Degenerative Disk Disease is another common cause of back pain, and it occurs when the discs that cushioned your vertebrae begin to break down. The discs act as shock absorbers, and when they degenerate, they can no longer do their job properly. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility.
Spinal Stenosis is the medical condition that results when the spinal canal narrows, and it can cause low back pain.
Disc herniation is a condition caused by the displacement of the soft inner core of the intervertebral disc. This can happen due to a sudden injury, repetitive strain, or the natural aging process. When the disc is herniated, its contents may bulge out and put pressure on the surrounding nerves. This can cause severe pain in the low back, as well as numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
The research is suggesting regenerative therapy is effective. With studies showing improvement in individuals with DDD. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) used in these regenerative treatments have the capacity to develop into the kind of cell needed to repair the disc. Regenerative cells may help self-renew & rebuild the tissue once injected and may also reduce pain by acting as an anti-inflammatory on damaged tissue. Regenerative therapy is a new and promising treatment for back pain that offers a non-surgical option for repair and restoration.
How it works:
The therapy involves injecting regenerative cells into the damaged area of the spine. These injections are frequently done with the aid of fluoroscopy in order to ensure proper alignment and position within the spine. This is done so the injection goes where it is needed most. Fluoroscopy is a continuous X-ray that shows the images on a monitor.
