What Is Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain?

Stem cell therapy leverages your body’s regenerative potential (or carefully prepared biologics) to target pain sources in the spine and surrounding soft tissues—such as discs, facet joints, ligaments, and paraspinal tendons. Using image-guided injections, treatment aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help appropriate candidates avoid or delay surgery.

Back Conditions Commonly Considered

  • Early–moderate degenerative disc disease (lumbar/thoracic)
  • Facet joint arthritis–related back pain
  • Chronic paraspinal muscle/tendon pain and enthesopathy
  • Post-injury or post-surgical inflammation (select cases)
  • Mild disc protrusions with mechanical pain (without progressive neurological deficit)*

*Significant herniations or neurological deficits typically require surgical evaluation. Candidacy must be confirmed by a physician.
