A Revolutionary Way To Treat Herniated Discs 

Total Spine and Orthopedics is proud to have brought two technologically advanced procedures together to change the way we treat back pain, neck pain, and degeneration. Our board certified physicians use a combined procedure of endoscopic discectomy and stem cell therapy to offer a revolutionary approach to treating herniated discs and minimizing the risk of reherniation.

Endoscopic Discectomy: This minimally invasive procedure allows for the removal of the herniated portion of the disc that is pressing on the spinal nerves. The endoscopic technique provides several advantages, such as reduced recovery time, less postoperative pain, and minimal damage to surrounding tissues. By alleviating pressure on the nerves, patients often experience significant pain relief and improved mobility.

Stem Cell Treatment: After the discectomy, stem cell therapy (SVF) can be employed to enhance healing. Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those that can repair and regenerate damaged tissue. When applied to the area around the affected disc, stem cells are thought to promote the healing of the annulus fibrosus (the outer layer of the disc) and enhance the regeneration of disc material.

Lowering the Risk of Reherniation: One of the concerns after discectomy is the risk of reherniation. By using stem cells, the therapy aims to help strengthen the annulus fibrosus and restore its integrity, thereby reducing the likelihood of new herniation. The regenerative properties of stem cells can help create a healthier environment, allowing for better support and cushioning of the spinal structures.

Repairing Damage to Surrounding Discs: In addition to addressing the specific herniated disc, stem cell therapy may also aid in the repair of adjacent discs and facet joints that might be experiencing degeneration. The introduction of stem cells can facilitate the healing process, improve hydration, and potentially reverse some of the degenerative changes.

In summary, the combination of endoscopic discectomy and stem cell therapy not only addresses immediate issues related to herniation but also contributes to long-term disc health, reducing the risk of future problems and promoting overall spinal wellness.
