Understanding Herniated Discs
A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in its tougher exterior casing. This condition can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs, significantly impacting your daily life.
Candidates for this procedure often have:
Note: A thorough evaluation by a spine specialist is essential to determine if endoscopic surgery is the most suitable option for your condition
At Total Spine and Wellness, our team of experienced surgeons specializes in endoscopic spine surgery. We are dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for treating herniated discs, which occur when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, causing nerve compression and pain.
Don’t let a herniated disc keep you from enjoying life. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how endoscopic spine surgery can help you return to a pain-free lifestyle.

Here are some of the questions that we are asked most frequently at Total Spine and Wellness
Regenerative medicine aims to replace damaged tissue or organs caused by factors like age, disease, trauma, or congenital issues, as opposed to focusing solely on symptom management. This is achieved through the use of tissue engineering, cellular therapies, medical devices, and artificial organs.
By combining these approaches, we can enhance our body’s natural healing process where it is most needed. Regenerative medicine brings together experts from various specialties who wish to be on the cutting edge of medicine.
When our bodies are injured or affected by disease, they possess an innate ability to heal and defend themselves. What if we could harness this inherent power and accelerate the healing process in a clinically relevant manner? What if we could aid the body in healing more effectively?
The promising field of regenerative medicine strives to restore the structure and function of damaged tissues and organs. It also aims to develop solutions for organs that have sustained permanent damage. Ultimately, the goal of regenerative medicine is to create transformative healthcare solutions that could potentially help injuries and diseases that were previously deemed untreatable.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells in our bodies that have the remarkable ability to develop into various types of specialized cells. They can divide and renew themselves to form more stem cells or differentiate into specific cell types, such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells. Stem cells play a crucial role in the development, growth, and repair of tissues and organs in our bodies. They hold great potential for medical research and regenerative medicine, as they may be used to treat a wide range of diseases and injuries.
Stem cells have the remarkable ability to develop into different cell types in the body and can also repair damaged tissues. When introduced into a specific area, they can promote healing through various mechanisms. Stem cells can differentiate into the desired cell type, replacing damaged cells directly. They can also secrete growth factors and proteins that stimulate the surrounding cells to regenerate and repair themselves. Additionally, stem cells can modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation, creating a more favorable environment for healing. These combined effects make stem cells a valuable tool for treating degenerative conditions.
These surgical procedures are considered part of a physician’s practice of medicine, allowing both the physician and patient to freely consider their preferred treatment options. While the FDA does provide guidelines for the treatment and manipulation of a patient’s own tissues, Total Spine adheres to these guidelines by offering same-day treatment using the patient’s unaltered cells, which are inserted during the procedure.
Not everyone is a good candidate for stem cell treatment. We offer a complimentary consultation and imaging review to determine if someone is likely to benefit from our treatments. If the severity of the condition is too great and a successful outcome is not likely, the patient will be told that in consultation.
