Constantly suffering from physical pain can make life unenjoyable. Unfortunately, many people live in constant pain due to back problems. Back pain has become such an epidemic that it’s the second most common issue that people go to their primary care doctors for. Dealing with chronic back pain can be unbearable to where it causes people to miss days at work and major life moments. That’s why it’s so important to find an effective way to treat chronic back pain. Research shows that stem cell therapy for back pain could be an effective form of treatment that can help people get their lives back. 

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are cells that generate all other human cells. This is because adult stem cells divide up into daughter cells. The stem cells then either become self-renewal stem cells themselves or specialized cells from other parts of the body that are in need of repair. Stem cells are the only cells in the human body that can become various types of new, healthy body cells. 

When parts of the human body are broken down and in need of repair, individuals can seek traditional forms of repair such as surgery. They can also try to revitalize their damaged body parts through stem cell therapy. 

While traditional forms of bodily repair (ie: surgery) are effective, they often still lead to lingering pain and discomfort later on in life. Plus, surgery and other forms of bodily repair can be very painful in and of themselves. 

Such painful procedures can cause a long recovery time. This is because many traditional forms of bodily repair, such as surgery, are very invasive. 

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that causes little pain and little to no recovery time. This is because stem cell therapy replaces damaged body cells with new healthy ones. It does this by inserting adult stem cells into the damaged areas of the body. These adult stem cells then turn into new cells that are of the same type as the body part that they’re injected into. 

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

If a person uses stem cell therapy to inject his or her adult stem cells into his or her damaged heart, once inserted into the heart, those damaged stem cells can turn into new, healthy heart cells. Those new, healthy heart cells will then naturally start replacing the damaged ones. 

So essentially, stem cell therapy reverses body damage. That way it’s as if the cells in the human body are fresh, young, and brand new. It’s also as if the damage done to the body never occurred. 

Reversal of body damage is always better than repair of body damage. This is because the reversal of body damage de-ages the human body. Therefore, stem cell therapy for back pain can reverse the damage that was done to a person’s back over time. 

Common Types of Back Pain

Back pain usually starts due to damage and wear and tear in certain areas of the spinal cord. Such damage and wear and tear in the spinal region usually lead to herniated discs as well as joint dysfunction. These things can cause neck pain, middle back pain, and lower back pain. 

Lumbar Back Pain

Lumbar back pain is pain in the lower, or lumbar, part of the spine and back. Damage and wear and tear of certain spinal discs often lead to lumbar back pain.

Neck and Middle Back Pain

Pain that develops in the neck and middle back is usually due to issues with the facet joints in the spinal area. Issues with the facet joints can cause neck and middle back pain on one side of the spinal cord and body, or both.

Causes of Lumbar Back Pain

As mentioned earlier, lumbar back pain is due to damage and wear and tear of certain spinal discs. Spinal discs are the soft, cushioned areas that are between the vertebrae and spine. These discs absorb any shock and rubbing that occurs between the vertebrae and spine when a person bends or moves. Spinal discs often wear and tear, causing the following things to occur.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is when one or more discs between the vertebrae and spinal column break down. This disease often leads to excruciating pain.

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs occur when the inner nucleus of spinal discs pushes out of themselves, tearing the outer skin of the spinal discs. Not only are herniated discs painful in and of themselves, but they can also irritate nearby nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and/or weakness in the back, arms, and/or legs.

Sciatica

Sciatica is the name of the intense leg pain that herniated discs cause when they irritate nearby nerves. A combination of burning pain and numbness is caused by sciatica.

Causes of Neck and Middle Back Pain

Issues with spinal facets lead to neck and middle back pain. Spinal facets are the joints located on both sides of each spinal cord segment. The following specific spinal facet issues lead to neck and middle pain. 

Spinal Facet Disease

Spinal facet disease is when there is excessive wear and tear on a person’s spinal facets. This disease can cause pain anywhere in the spinal region.

Facet Dysfunction

Facet dysfunction occurs when there is an injury to facet joints. This form of dysfunction causes pain in the lower, lumbar spine, thoracic region, and neck. This pain can occur on one or both sides of the spine. It then spreads to the body’s muscles and extremities. When people extend or rotate their necks or backs, it can cause facet dysfunction to be even more painful. 

Facet dysfunction is usually caused by injury due to sports, car accidents, or just accidents in life. Many people with facet dysfunction also suffer from whiplash. Ultimately, facet dysfunction causes extensive pain and limited mobility.

Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain

Many people that suffer from chronic back pain exercise must receive physical therapy, therapeutic injections, and/or pain medications. All of these methods of back pain treatment are effective. Still stem cell therapy for back pain can reverse back pain damage. 

Stem Cell Therapy for Degenerative Disc Disease and Herniated Discs

Stem cell therapy for degenerative disc disease is a minimally invasive and outpatient procedure. During stem cell therapy for degenerative disc disease, a person’s own adult stem cells are injected into the damaged discs. The stem cell therapy treatment process for herniated discs is the same as that for degenerative disc disease. 

Stem Cell Therapy for Sciatica

Stem cell therapy for sciatica takes adult stem cells. It then injects them into the damaged disc and the inflamed root area nearby. This causes people with sciatica to no longer feel leg pain. 

Stem Cell Therapy for Lumbar Discs

Stem cell therapy for lumbar back pain revitalizes the soft, cushion spinal disc area between the vertebrae and spine. That way the bones in the spinal cord no longer have to rub against one another and cause a person excruciating pain.

Stem Cell Therapy for Facet Joints and Spinal Facet Disease

Stem cell therapy treatment for facet joints is also a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure where adult stem cells are injected into damaged joints. The same procedure occurs during stem cell therapy for spinal facet disease. 

Stem cell therapy for facet joints revitalizes the sides of spinal cord segments and the cartilage on them. That way individuals that suffered from facet joint pain can now extend and move their necks and back without feeling pain. Stem cell therapy for facet joints also makes it so that individuals can be free of pain in their muscles and extremities. 

Who’s a Good Candidate for Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain

Any individual that suffers from chronic back pain due to damage to spinal discs and facets would make a great candidate for stem cell therapy for back pain. This is because adult stem cells can build new soft tissue, cartilage, and tendons. Through stem cell therapy for back pain, individuals that suffer from chronic back pain can receive enough relief to go back to enjoying life as they once did before.
