If you suffer from chronic back pain, you know how debilitating of a condition it is. Back pain can keep you from performing simple daily tasks as well as prevent you from being able to enjoy your recreational activities.

Common causes of lower back pain:
- Sciatica
- Accident or injury
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative discs
- Scoliosis
- Poor posture
- Spinal stenosis
- and many more
When you are dealing with back pain on a daily basis, you most likely have been told that surgery is your only option. Surgery can be costly as well as risky. With regenerative medicine, there are natural pain relief options available with long lasting results without the need for invasive procedures and symptom masking medications.
Treatments For Back Pain Relief
Regenerative medicine is becoming more and more widely sought out for those in search of an alternative solution for back pain relief. Regenerative therapies use the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Our bodies contain stem cells which are designed to help heal injury or disease quickly, unfortunately, as we get older, so do these cells, making in hard for our bodies to recover.
Our regenerative procedures use what are known as mesenchymal cells. These cells are preferred due to the fact that they are young and healthy cells. These cells are derived from Wharton’s jelly which is found in the umbilical cords of newborn babies.
While there is some controversy around the procedure, it is harmless to both mother and child. These cells are often used due to the contain high concentrations of growth factors, cytokines, and peptides which makes them highly effective in the healing process.
Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is also often used to help with low back pain. PRP uses you own blood to help restore function and relieve pain. PRP is a minimally invasive procedure most often done right in the doctors office by collecting a blood sample.
After the sample is taken, the plasma is separated from the rest of the sample by using a centrifuge. The plasma is then re-injected into the source of the pain enhancing the body’s natural ability to repair damaged tissue and cells that are causing inflammation and pain in the back.
No matter how long you have been dealing with chronic back pain, or what the cause is, surgery is not an inevitable fate. Regenerative medicine offers many treatment options that naturally relieve pain quickly and with long lasting results without the need for invasive procedures or dangerous medications.
