Stem Cell Therapy is rapidly gaining ground as a natural, regenerative solution for chronic back pain and orthopedic conditions. By using the body’s own healing cells, this treatment can restore function and reduce pain — without the need for surgery.
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to transform into specialized cells (bone, cartilage, tendon, etc.). In musculoskeletal treatments, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are commonly used. These are usually harvested from:
Bone marrow (pelvis)
Adipose (fat) tissue
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
Cells are collected from the patient using a simple outpatient procedure.
They are processed in a lab or clinic to concentrate the regenerative elements.
The prepared cells are injected into the injured area (spine, joint, etc.) using imaging guidance.
Once delivered, the cells help:
Reduce inflammation
Regenerate damaged tissue
Relieve pain and stiffness
What Can It Treat?
Stem cell therapy is used in:
Degenerative disc disease
Facet joint arthritis
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Rotator cuff tears
Early-stage osteoarthritis
Advantages Over Traditional Treatments
Avoids the need for invasive surgery
Short recovery time (days vs. months)
Uses your body’s natural healing process
Low risk of rejection (autologous source)
Reduces reliance on steroid injections and pain meds
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from stem cell therapy if you:
Have chronic back pain unresponsive to therapy
Want to delay or avoid surgery
Have mild to moderate joint or disc damage
Are in generally good health
Risks and Side Effects
Mild soreness at the injection site
Rare risks include bleeding or infection
Results may vary based on age and health status
Timeline for Results
Most patients notice improvement within 4–6 weeks. Maximum benefit typically appears by 3–6 months after treatment.
