Degenerative Disc Disease(DDD)
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common condition that affects the spine, particularly the discs between the vertebrae. It is a condition that typically develops with age, as the spinal discs naturally lose moisture and become less flexible and less effective at absorbing shock.
In DDD, the discs between the vertebrae become thin and less flexible, which can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the spine. The condition can affect any part of the spine, but it is most commonly seen in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions.
Symptoms of DDD can include back pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in the affected area. In some cases, the condition can cause numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, depending on which part of the spine is affected. Severe cases of DDD can lead to disc herniation, where the disc bulges or ruptures and puts pressure on the nerves in the spine.

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 to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
How does regenerative treatments help with DDD
Regenerative treatments approach for DDD aim to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues and restore function.
There are several regenerative medicine treatments that may be used to treat disc degeneration, including stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and growth factor therapy.
Stem cell therapy involves the use of stem cells to repair or regenerate damaged tissue. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to differentiate into a variety of different cell types, including cells that make up the spinal discs. Stem cells can be obtained from a variety of sources, including from the patient’s bone marrow. These cells are concentrated and then injected into the damaged disc, where they can differentiate into new cells and promote tissue regeneration.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves the use of a patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. These concentrated platelets and growth factors are then injected into the damaged disc, where they can promote tissue healing and regeneration.
Growth factor therapy involves the use of growth factors, which are natural substances that promote cell growth and division. These growth factors can be obtained from a variety of sources, including platelets, stem cells, and other tissues. They can be injected directly into the damaged disc to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
These regenerative medicine treatments aim to promote tissue healing and regeneration by stimulating the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Research in this area has shown great evidence that these therapies are effective in treating disc degeneration and reducing pain and other symptoms associated with this condition.

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.
