Spinal Cord Injuries
Stem Cells for Disc Regeneration
The field of spinal cord injury and back pain has experienced a significant advancement in treatment. Many doctors still rely on surgery and supportive care for these conditions, but researchers are now exploring the use of mesenchymal stem cells to repair damaged tissue, transforming the approach to disc degeneration and back pain.
New mesenchymal stem cell treatments involve both intravenous and direct administration into the disc. These stem cells not only seem to be repairing the disc, but they also exert an anti-inflammatory effect, which alleviates pain and reverses disc degeneration.
What is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative Disc Disease is a condition characterized by chronic pain resulting from a damaged vertebral disc or discs. This damage can occur naturally with age or from a severe injury, leading to tears, herniation, or bulging of the disc. This exposes or irritates the nerves, causing pain commonly felt in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine).
A herniated or bulging disc occurs when the annulus fibrosus (the outer layer of the disc) is damaged. This can irritate the spinal cord or nearby nerves, causing severe pain, weakness, and numbness in the arms or legs. In extreme cases, a severely herniated disc can lead to paralysis.
