Back pain is among the most prevalent medical issues today, impacting most people at some point in their lifetimes. The causes of back pain are varied, ranging from chronic conditions to acute injuries. If you suffer from back pain, stem cell therapy may be a viable treatment option to help you achieve lasting pain relief.
Stem Cell Therapy
In stem cell therapy, stem cells are gathered with the aspiration process. In this process, which can be done in an office setting, the stem cells may either be taken from fat cells in the abdomen or bone marrow at the back of the pelvis. Once the aspirate has been collected, it’s put inside of a centrifuge. This spins it rapidly to separate the stem cells from the bone marrow aspirate. The stem cells are then injected into the treatment area.
Stem cell therapy can be used to support and speed up the healing process of injured or diseased tissue in various areas of the body, including the back.
Relief From Back Pain with Stem Cell Treatment
Conventional medical treatment for back pain includes physical therapy, pain medication, and even surgery in severe cases. As an alternative, stem cell therapy can be an effective, minimally-invasive treatment option for some patients experiencing back pain. By helping regenerate the damaged tissue and reduce inflammation, stem cell therapy can provide significant pain relief in a short period of time. While the repair process from stem cell therapy takes multiple weeks to take place, patients often notice a significant improvement in pain and mobility shortly after treatment.
Examples of back pain conditions and injuries that may be effectively treated with stem cell therapy include:
- Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
- Herniated disc
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal facet pain
