Stem Cells for Back Pain

Stem cell therapy is an innovative and promising treatment for patients suffering from back pain. If you also suffer from chronic back pain, you know how it can impact your daily life. It can limit your mobility, make it difficult to complete everyday tasks, and even affect your mood.

If you’ve tried traditional treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections without success, it may be time to consider a non-invasive alternative that uses your body’s own healing power – stem cells.

About Back Pain

Back pain can be a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In fact, it affects at least 80% of us at some point in our lives.⁽¹⁾ Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors such as: 

Traditional treatments for back pain include medication, physical therapy, and surgery. However, there is now a revolutionary new treatment option available: stem cell therapy.

How Can Stem Cells Help with Back Pain?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells, which means they aren’t a particular type of cell yet, so they can transform, or “differentiate” into various specialized cell types. This means that they can differentiate into the specific types of cells needed to replace damaged cells. As a result, they have the potential to regenerate damaged tissues and promote healing. When stem cell therapy is applied to damaged tissue in the back, the stem cells have the ability to differentiate and become the cells needed to replace the cells that make up bone and cartilage, which are typically at the root of most back pain. They also have the ability to regulate inflammation, which can also help reduce pain.⁽²⁾ 

Bone Regeneration

For those suffering from osteoporosis, other degenerative bone conditions, or even bone fractures, stem cells have the ability to promote the production of osteoblasts to repair and restore bone density. They also can regulate osteoclasts, the cells that degrade the minerals in bones and lead to osteoporosis. One of the ways they do this is by producing exosomes. 

Cartilage Regeneration

Cartilage acts as the cushion between our joints. However, our bodies have limited abilities to produce new healthy cartilage, especially as we get older. Stem cells can help with the cartilage degeneration that is behind many of the causes of back pain. They do this by differentiating into

chondrocytes, the cells that produce the collagen that provides the framework for healthy cartilage. Along with their ability to regulate inflammation and immune responses, stem cells can be a promising treatment for patients suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.⁽²⁾

Stem cells can be sourced from various places such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and embryonic tissue.⁽¹⁾ At Daisy Stem Cell Therapy, we only use ethically sourced allogenic stem cells from reputable sources.

Our stem cell therapy for back pain involves the injection of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been shown to have great potential in regenerative medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues. They can also secrete biomaterials, platelet-rich plasma, cytokines, and growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. 

Dr. Haasis only uses allogenic stem cells, which are ethically sourced and taken from consenting donors, and thoroughly screened for purity and safety. This means that there are no invasive procedures performed on the patient in order to harvest the stem cells, as well as less downtime and faster recovery times. The procedure involves harvesting stem cells from a donor source and preparing them for transplantation or injection. The stem cells are then delivered directly to the site of injury or damage using ultrasound or other imaging technologies. The entire process takes only a few hours and can be done on an outpatient basis.

At Daisy Stem Cell Therapy, we believe in the potential of stem cell therapy to revolutionize the treatment of back pain. Our team of highly trained professionals is dedicated to providing our patients with the best possible care and outcomes. We use only the most advanced techniques and technologies to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality care.

Procedure

At Daisy Stem Cell Therapy, we use ethically sourced allogenic stem cells that offer effective regenerative medicine options for our patients.

The procedure is minimally invasive and can be done on an outpatient basis. The stem cells are precisely targeted to the site of injury or inflammation, promoting immunomodulation and immunosuppression, which helps to reduce the risk of rejection by the patient’s immune system. The treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, leading to the regeneration of healthy tissues and the reduction of chronic pain.

At Daisy Stem Cell Therapy, we offer personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s unique medical history and condition. We adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that all our stem cells are sourced from donors who have been thoroughly screened and tested for communicable diseases. Our goal is to provide our patients with safe and effective regenerative medicine options that can help alleviate their back pain and improve their quality of life.

Recovery and Results

Stem cell therapy for back pain is a minimally invasive procedure that can help reduce or even eliminate chronic back pain. After the procedure, you can expect some mild discomfort and soreness at the injection site, but this will typically subside within a few days. Dr. Hassis will provide you with instructions on how to manage any discomfort during this time. You will be able to resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, but we recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for a few days.

The full benefits of stem cell therapy may take several weeks or months to fully manifest. Many patients report significant pain relief within the first few weeks, while others experience more gradual improvement over time. Dr. Hassis will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

One of the greatest benefits of stem cell therapy for back pain is its ability to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. This means that as the stem cells work to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation, you may also experience improved mobility, flexibility, and overall function. 

If you’re struggling with chronic back pain and are looking for a safe, effective alternative to traditional treatments like surgery or medication, stem cell therapy may be right for you. Contact Daisy Stem Cell Therapy today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hassis and learn more about how stem cells can help you achieve lasting pain relief.
