Stem Cell Therapy at Total Spine Wellness

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

1. Cells are collected from the patient using a simple outpatient procedure.

2. They are processed in a lab or clinic to concentrate the regenerative elements.

3. 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.
