Adipose Stem Cells (ADSCs)

SVF Therapy for Spine Conditions

A Data-Backed Approach to Spine Regeneration and Healing

At Total Spine Wellness, we’re advancing the field of regenerative medicine with Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)—a promising therapy derived from adipose (fat) tissue. SVF contains a rich mix of stem cells, growth factors, and biologically active molecules that support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair. With applications in orthopedics, spinal care, and chronic pain management, SVF therapy represents a minimally invasive treatment option for patients seeking alternatives to traditional surgery.

SVF Therapy for Spine Conditions in Florida

What Is SVF and How Is It Used?

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is obtained during the processing of adipose tissue, typically collected via liposuction. This concentrated mixture includes adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), endothelial precursor cells, macrophages and fibroblasts, as well as growth factors and cytokines. At Total Spine Wellness, SVF is used to target degenerative spinal conditions such as herniated discs, chronic back pain, and joint inflammation. It’s often administered directly to the affected area to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

How SVF Therapy Works

SVF contributes to healing through several powerful mechanisms:

  • Cytokine Secretion: Releases growth factors that promote regeneration and reduce scarring
  • Immunomodulation: Helps regulate inflammation that can slow healing
  • Neoangiogenesis: Encourages the development of new blood vessels for better tissue nourishment
  • Cell Differentiation: SVF cells can transform into various cell types to replace damaged tissue
  • Matrix Remodeling: Supports the restoration of the extracellular matrix necessary for structural repair

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Consultation & Screening Patients: are carefully evaluated to ensure they’re a good fit for SVF therapy.
  2. & Tissue Harvesting: Under twilight or local anesthesia, a small amount of fat is harvested from the abdomen or flank using liposuction techniques.
  3. Processing the Tissue: The adipose tissue is processed in a sterile environment using a collagenase solution and centrifugation to isolate the SVF.
  4. Injection Into Target: Area The SVF is then administered to the affected area of the spine or joints via guided injection. The entire procedure is completed in approximately 4 hours on an outpatient basis.

SVF vs. MSCs (Mesenchymal Stromal Cells)

While multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a well-researched component of SVF, the two are not the same:

  • MSCs are typically cultured in a lab over time.
  • SVF is processed and reinjected the same day without requiring lab cultivation.
  • SVF includes additional regenerative elements such as immune and vascular cells.

This broader composition makes SVF a more immediate and multifaceted therapy option.

Safety and Side Effects of SVF Therapy

SVF therapy has shown a strong safety profile in clinical settings:

  • No reports of tumor formation or inappropriate tissue growth
  • Mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site may occur
  • Rare cases of individual intolerance have been observed

At Total Spine Wellness, your care is overseen by a board-certified team, ensuring the highest standards of safety and clinical precision.

Conditions We Treat with SVF Therapy
