Using Regenerative Treatments to Treat Back Pain
If you suffer from chronic back pain and want an alternative to traditional back surgery, stem cell treatments may be your option to avoid invasive procedures.
Regenerative treatments like stem cell treatments using autologous (patient’s own) stem cells have become a popular option for treating back pain. These innovative treatments involve using the patient’s own stem cells, which are derived from their bone marrow, to help promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Here are some ways in which stem cell treatments can be used to treat back pain and avoid back surgery:
- Promoting tissue regeneration: Stem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, including muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By injecting stem cells into the damaged area of the spine, they can help promote tissue regeneration and repair damaged tissues.
- Reducing inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the spine can contribute to back pain and may require surgical intervention. Stem cells have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Stimulating natural healing: Stem cells can stimulate the body’s natural healing process by releasing growth factors and other proteins that help repair damaged tissues.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Stem cell treatments are typically performed on an outpatient basis and involve a minimally invasive injection procedure. This means less downtime and a quicker recovery period compared to traditional back surgery.
- Customizable treatment: Stem cell treatments can be customized to each patient’s individual needs and can target specific areas of the spine, making them a more precise and targeted treatment option.
It is important to note that not all cases of back pain can be treated with stem cell treatments and that each case is unique. It is important to consult with us to determine if stem cell treatment is a viable option for your specific case.
- Experience: 15+ years in stem cell therapies
- Effective Treatments: Using your stem cells or MSCs for pain relief, regeneration, and more.
Regenerative Treatments
How does it work?
Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, such as muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By harvesting these cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, they can be injected into the damaged area of the spine to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
During the painless procedure, a small amount of bone marrow is typically taken from the patient’s hip bone using a needle. The bone marrow is then processed to isolate the stem cells, which are then injected into the affected area of the spine using imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement.
While it may not provide immediate pain relief, it provides long-term benefits and improves overall function and quality of life. If you are considering this treatment option, it is important to book your FREE consultation with us to determine if it is right for you.
What do I need to have prior to receiving stem cells treatment?
- Book Free consultation with us.
- Bring your MRI results. If you don’t have an MRI test done recently, don’t worry. Miami Stem Cell has partnered with imaging clinics to provide MRIs to our patients for as little as $200 per test. Ask us about our partnerships.
- Do a tumor marker test. This is a simple blood test that you will need to do prior to the procedure.
- Bring someone to drive you back home.

Types
What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are your body’s raw materials—basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.
Stem Cell Therapy
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic particles (about 1/1000th the size of a cell) naturally released by cells—especially stem cells. They’re loaded with growth factors, proteins, RNA, and other signaling molecules that tell other cells what to do.
Exosomes aren’t stem cells themselves. They’re what stem cells use to communicate and activate healing in your body. You could say they’re the “brains” behind the operation, coordinating the regenerative process.
We use Umbilical Cord-Derived MSC Exosomes derived from Wharton’s Jelly in donated umbilical cords. These are the most clinically used exosomes today due to their potency, safety, and ethical sourcing. They’re young, non-immunogenic, and highly active. They are excellent for orthopedic, autoimmune, and anti-aging protocols
Healing Solutions
Regenerative Therapies for Joint and Tissue Repair
Regenerative treatments like MSCs, Exosomes, and PRP use the body’s natural healing to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve function, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery. These therapies can enhance quality of life and delay the need for more invasive procedures.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) Therapy
