Back Pain
Annually, millions of people with neck and back injuries and chronic pain undergo expensive and painful spine surgeries only to have ongoing pain -- or find themselves managing the pain continually with medications or injections. Often, spinal surgery may not help with the original pain, and the patients are left with other painful conditions like restricted back motion, decreased activity levels, and/or chronic muscle spasms.
​
Cellular therapy (platelet rich plasma and stem cell) provides an exciting option for pain relief from debilitating back conditions. Avoiding surgery and pain medications is possible with these minimally-invasive treatments.
Quick In-office procedure for relief from Back pain & injury.
-
Our Board Certified Physicians obtain your OWN stem cells in a quick in-office procedure
-
Using a FDA-approved equipment, we very accurately separate and retrieve the cells and proteins with the most healing potential.
-
Our physician will perform an image guided (flouroscopy and/or ultrasound) injection of the stem cells precisely at the site of the injury to assure that the concentrated sample of cells are placed directly where optimal healing can take place.
-
This non-surgical treatment is an out-patient procedure, and for the majority, will not require any recuperative downtime.
-
The procedure aims to Regain function, Restore mobility, Reduce pain, and avoid surgery.

Research/Education
As with any emerging field, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest research and evidence. Our physicians are continually learning new safe and proven techniques as well as evaluating our treatments to assure their effectiveness and areas for improvement. The application of cellular therapy is exciting and we welcome you to look in our FAQ (frequently asked questions) page and on our Research page for pertinent evidence and research regarding these therapies.
​
For example, one recent study demonstrates that you need a critical minimum number of stem cells in order to receive benefit from stem cell injection at a lumbar disc. The study indicates that, when done correctly, stem cell therapy resulted in significantly better outcomes than surgical options (such as fusion and disc replacement). Additionally, these results have been maintained after three years of follow-up. These are incredibly encouraging results for anyone suffering from chronic back pain.!

FDA APPROVAL
All of our biological procedures are performed with either Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or bone marrow derived stem cells (BMC) on the same day with minimal manipulation and homologous use of BMC. We strive to be compliant with the latest relevant FDA Guidance Documents at all times.
