At some point in their lives, most people report suffering from back pain. This is especially true for people who are more active. It has also been reported that a majority of people living and working in the United States have missed work due to back problems like a herniated disc. According to general physicians back pain is the second most common complaint made to them by their patients. The only thing that surpasses it is cases of the common cold. If you are someone who is experiencing this type of pain and live in the Miami area, you’re in luck. Stem Cell Miami offers stem cell therapy for arthritis along with stem cell treatment for back pain, which could help alleviate some of the pain you’re experiencing.
Time To Consider Stem Cell Treatment for Back Pain
If you have been suffering from back pain without any relief from treatments you’ve tried it may be time to think outside the box and consider stem cell therapy. You may have heard of stem cell therapy for arthritis, but did you know there is a treatment option to help with back pain as well? Even if your back pain isn’t severe all the time, there are bound to be times when it flares up causing you to have a difficult time finding relief no matter how hard you try. If you’ve exhausted all other options, you may have started considering back surgery, but before you make that decision, you should learn more about stem cell therapy and how it could be a great alternative to surgery.
Spinal discs are soft structures that are in between the vertebrae of your spine and act as shock absorbers, which allows your spine to bend and twist without causing damage or pain. However, there are times when these discs become damaged and cause a significant amount of pain. Two conditions that are caused by this damage are disc herniations and spinal disc degeneration, which are two of the leading causes of pain in the lower back. The damage to these discs can cause pain in other parts of the body as well, not just in the back. Sciatica is the pain in your legs that is a result of a bulging disc in your back that is pressing on a lumbar nerve. Some people report the pain feeling like a burning sensation while others complain of a numbness and tingling feeling. Naturally, as you age, there is a reasonable amount of wear and tear that is expected to happen to spinal discs, but this should not cause the amount of pain that patients with disc herniations and spinal disc degeneration experience. Some of the things that can increase wear and tear on your discs are arthritis, injury, or extreme wear due to sports. Symptoms of these two conditions include limited function, stiffness, weakness, and pain.
Stem cell therapy is a minimally-invasive procedure that is done in an outpatient facility to correct the damage done by degenerative disc disease. During the treatment, your own stem cells are extracted, harvested, and injected into the damaged disc in your spine. The goal of the procedure is to restore the structure, hydration, and function while decreasing your pain.
