Many patients have benefited from stem cell treatment for lower back pain, especially the lower back pain that results from degenerative disc disease.

Stem Cell injections into the disc may help to –
• decrease the inflammation
• reduce pain
• repair the flattened or protruding disc

Stem cell therapy can be an effective alternative to surgical treatments for the spine, such as fusion surgery.

Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age, the spinal discs begin losing fluid and flattening. They may even become more brittle. This flattening of the discs may lead to arthritis of the facet joints(small joints of the back) as bone starts rubbing on bone. Gradually, the discs may develop tears. The soft center of the disc may herniate and irritate the surrounding nerve endings. This can result in back pain accompanies by radiating leg pain, known as “sciatica.” (Irritation of the sciatic nerve)

Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain due to Degenerating Discs

Your doctor will first identify the root cause and specific location of your back pain. Your doctor may order an MRI of your lower back and conduct a thorough evaluation to establish the underlying cause of your lower back pain. Once that is done, your doctor will inject millions of live stem cells into the affected area in your spine, in an outpatient procedure.

Stem Cell Therapy stimulates healing in the affected joints, builds new tissue, repairs injury and slows down the inflammatory processes. All this would lead to symptom relief as well as the repair and regeneration of the damaged area of the disc and spine.

At modern stem cell treatment clinics, such as R3 Stem Cell International in Pakistan, live stem cells are injected to repair the damaged spinal joints naturally.

The stem cells act as the precursor cells for repair. They also turn the environment in the spine from inflammatory to regenerating. Then the stem cells begin to heal the damaged area in the spine by repairing the old cells and regenerating new ones. As a result, the inflammation reduces, the pain is relieved and you experience an improvement in motion and function.

While a single stem cell treatment can yield positive results, your doctor may ask you to repeat the injection procedure to maximize the benefits. This may be combined with PRP or platelet rich plasma injections to supplement the activity of stem cells. The stem cell procedures are done under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure accuracy which is extremely important in the case of the spine.
