Stem Cell Therapy for Spine Injuries at The Southeastern …

A new therapy is now available to help your spine repair itself. Using stem cells from your own body, this treatment, called ReNewDisc, can effectively address certain back and neck problems like degenerative disc disease.

Degenerative disc disease isnt actually a disease. Its just the term doctors use to describe a whole range of common injury or age-related degradations to the discs in your spine.

Your discs can lose fluid, reducing your flexibility, or they can tear or crack, causing them to bulge or rupture and compress nearby nerves. Both results are painful. Depending on the injured discs location, you may feel anything from mild irritation and soreness, to debilitating back or neck pain and numbness or a combination of symptoms.

If conservative care options (i.e., non-surgical methods) dont stop your pain, you may need surgery to remove a disc and replace it with an artificial one. Fusing the surrounding vertebrae is often the last-resort treatment.
