At Total Spine Wellness, our stem cell therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities to address spine and joint issues. By utilizing advanced regenerative techniques, we aim to restore function and alleviate pain, offering patients a non-surgical path to recovery.
Stem Cell Therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, uses stem cells to repair diseased, dysfunctional, or injured tissue.
Stem cell therapy is a nonsurgical outpatient procedure where adult stem cells are collected from the patient’s own body — typically bone marrow — and injected directly into the injured or damaged areas such as spinal discs or joints.
These “undifferentiated” cells have the ability to transform into the specific type of cell needed to repair tissue. For example, stem cells injected into a spinal disc can become cartilage cells and help regenerate that disc.
The procedure is minimally invasive, takes about 15–30 minutes, and has no downtime. Most patients can return to normal activity immediately.
Stem Cell Therapy may benefit those with:
A consultation with one of our board-certified physicians will help determine if you’re a good candidate. If not, we’ll guide you through other available options.
Your journey starts with a physician consultation to review your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and possibly take imaging like X-rays or an MRI.
On the day of the procedure:
Most people feel improvement within a few days to a few weeks.

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 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.
We use all autologous cells (the patients own cells). We utilize bone marrow stem cells and Stromal cells (from adipose). Each person will be evaluated individually before a specific treatment modality is suggested.
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.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising source for the treatment of OA due to their multipotency for differentiation into chondrocytes and their ability to modulate the immune system.
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.
