What is Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain?

Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain is a procedure that involves injecting concentrated stem cells into damaged joints or spinal discs in order to relieve pain and inflammation and promote tissue repair. In the rapidly developing field of Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cell Therapy is one of the cutting-edge therapeutic treatments – along with others like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and prolotherapy – being used to treat musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, including those that impact your back.

Stem Cell Therapy has shown great promise in stimulating the body's natural healing processes and also appears to have immune-modulating properties which help control pain and inflammation.

Stem cells are "undifferentiated" cells. This allows them to develop into the types of cells needed to repair or replace damaged tissue. Because of that, stem cell therapy has the potential to repair tissues that are too damaged to heal on their own. Stem cells may be able to stimulate the formation of cartilage, tendon, ligaments, bone and fibrous connective tissue.

Regenerative medicine practitioners inject stem cells into damaged tissues to:

• Help form new blood vessels
• Activate endogenous stem cells
• Enable new cell growth

Cell-free stem cell-derived therapy may be an even more efficient way of delivering regenerative proteins to degenerating tissue. Stem cells can be sourced from adipose (fat) tissue containing cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes. Bone marrow stem cells are another viable option for back conditions.

Which Back Pain Conditions Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat?

Stem Cell Therapy is uniquely able to target deterioration, traumatic injury or defects in your back – alleviating pain, reducing inflammation and accelerating the healing process. Osteoarthritis is a common condition and an example of a particularly problematic and painful back condition that does not respond well to conventional treatment.

Because affected areas have limited access to blood flow and do not receive necessary growth factors, nutrients and cells required to heal, the back inevitably experiences degeneration, loss of function, and chronic pain and inflammation from advanced osteoarthritis.

Stem Cell Therapy treatments deliver concentrated cells and growth factors directly at the point of injury, damage or deterioration in the back and can trigger a powerful healing response that begins repairing and regenerating tissue, restoring mobility and improved function more quickly than you can imagine.

The following back conditions generally respond well to Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain:

• Osteoarthritis
• Ligament sprains
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Herniated discs
• Facet joint arthritis

FAQs

How long will it take for me to see results?

Results vary among Dr. Borenstein’s patients and often vary depending on the patient’s age, general health, pain level, diet, lifestyle and aftercare, as well as the specific back condition that is causing the pain.

You could see a difference in function, pain and inflammation and start feeling better within the first three to six weeks. Your stem cell therapy will continue to work inside your body for four to six months after the procedure, during which time you should continue to see improvement.

How many Stem Cell Back Pain Treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required as part of Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain will vary depending on your particular condition and how your body responds to Stem Cell Therapy. Most patients require one to three injections. Some people experience significant improvement after just one injection, while others sometimes require a series of injections over time.

Patients with chronic back issues may respond best with one or two treatments initially, followed by maintenance shots every year or two for long-term relief.

The specific number and timing of treatments will be determined by Dr. Borenstein as he evaluates your progress and the level of relief you are experiencing from your back pain, depending on your specific injury or back condition, your body's individual response, and your activity level

Is Stem Cell Therapy safe for me?

Stem Cell Therapy has an excellent safety profile. Please discuss all of your safety concerns at your first session. You can count on Dr. Borenstein to evaluate if Stem Cell Therapy is the best choice for treating your back pain. He will make the decision, together with you, after looking at your medical history, your genetic background and any specific risk factors you may have before we begin your treatment, to ensure your Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain is both safe and effective.

If you have specific allergies (e.g., to stainless steel), have hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction, anemia, cancer, or blood clotting disorders, any injections may be inadvisable, including Stem Cell Therapy injections. Also, if you are pregnant or nursing or taking certain medications, we may need to delay or advise against treatment.

Are the Stem Cell Injections painful?

Our patients report experiencing little to no discomfort from these stem cell injections. Stem cell therapy for back pain is officially classified as minimally painful. Of course, some discomfort is expected with any injection, but the pain level varies depending on each patient’s tolerance for pain and reaction to needles.

The treatment area also can make a difference. At the very worst, you may feel a brief, sharp pain or pressure as the needle enters your skin, and you may experience a mild ache or tenderness after treatment.
