A bulging or herniated disc can have a dramatic effect on your day-to-day life. Unfortunately, since the spinal discs have a limited capacity to heal on their own, there is no quick or easy road to treatment, and traditional treatment methods have been lacking. One new, innovative treatment for spinal disc problems is stem cell therapy.
Spinal Disc Conditions
Disc conditions are one of the most common causes of chronic back pain. The spine's discs lie between each vertebrae, cushioning the spine, protecting the spinal cord, and absorbing the impact of walking, running, and other activities.
The discs can become injured due to trauma or due to degeneration. When this occurs, the disc can either become misshapen, as in a bulging disc, or rupture more fully, as in a herniated disc.
There are a number of non-surgical treatments for disc problems, like physical therapy and medication. There are also surgical options, which many patients find inadequate for a number of reasons. Finally, some cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgeries have been very successful in helping patients recover. Examples include laser spine surgery and stem cell therapy.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell spinal disc repair can help to treat spinal disc injuries that don't respond to other types of treatment. When injected into damaged tissue, stem cells harvested from your own bone marrow can help heal the damaged tissue, reversing the degeneration that is common with disc conditions. Stem cell therapy is considered to be a safe procedure, and the recovery period should not be particularly lengthy.
