Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain in Beverly Hills

Back pain is a common complaint that forces people to seek medical intervention. The pain may be of acute onset which resolves with minimal intervention in most cases. However, not everyone is as lucky. The pain may persist for more than three months and is defined as chronic back pain. The pain may be disabling enough as to limit a person’s performance of activities of daily living. Traditionally in the management of chronic back pain, physicians have targeted pain control rather than getting a cure for the primary cause of the back pain.

Patients go through multiple drug regimens in the search of the much needed pain relief. They are advised on lifestyle changes in addition to taking medication so as to get relieved of the pain. Dealing with the symptoms of low back pain offers relief but does not deal with the primary initiating cause.

Stem Cell Therapy

  • Cause of back pain

    • Tissue breakdown is a common phenomenon of aging. The body is designed with the capacity to replace any worn out tissue with new tissue. This ability of the body to regenerate and thus restore normal function diminishes with age. It is not a surprise that back pain is a disease of adult population. The spinal bones are separated by vertebral discs.

      These discs undergo degeneration and with time, thin out or slip out of space impinging on a nerve root and causing back pain. Grafting of the damaged disc was not possible because of lack of a viable tissue to transplant to the damaged site. For a long time there was no effective therapy to reverse the changes that have occurred in the discs until experimentation with stem cell therapy came into play.

  • Stem cell therapy

    • Stem cell therapy utilizes stem cells harvested from the patient to offer treatment for multiple ailments. Stem cells are found in the bone marrow which is located in the cavities of bones. Stem cells are unique in the fact that they have the capacity to differentiate into any type of body cell depending on the location that they are placed in.

      The stem cells are harvested from the patient using an aseptic technique and under local anesthesia so as to reduce discomfort and pain. Once a portion of the bone marrow is harvested, it is mixed with the patient’s blood and injected into the damaged tissue. The cells have been shown to help in the healing of damaged tissue such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage.

      With respect to back pain, studies have shown great potential for the use of stem cell therapy to cure chronic back pain. The intervertebral disc is made of two parts, a peripheral annulus fibrosus and a central nucleus pulposus. The central area is the one that is most damaged. Researchers while using lab mice demonstrated the capacity of stem cells once injected into the damaged disc to regenerate and produce tissue that is similar to that of nucleus pulposus1.

      This held major potential in the treating of back pain and has been utilized by various institutions in the past. The above results were solidified after a similar study conducted on rabbits showed similar results. The injected stem cells underwent a site dependent differentiation and replaced the damaged nucleus pulposus2.
