Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain

Mesenchymal stem cells are a regenerative alternative for certain cases of back pain associated with disc degeneration, chronic inflammation of the facet joints, or persistent pain that does not respond to conventional treatments. While they do not "completely reconstruct the spine," they help improve the cellular environment and support the repair of damaged intervertebral discs, inflamed joints, and soft tissues such as irritated tendons or ligaments. They are also indicated for inflammatory processes that do not improve with physical therapy, medications, or nerve blocks. This procedure has a good safety profile, as it is always performed in an operating room or procedure room under imaging guidance (X-ray and/or ultrasound), ensuring greater precision and reduced risks.
