RegenOrthoSport Non-Surgical Procedures for Spine-Related Conditions.

Help Your Body Heal Itself

The board-certified, highly skilled physicians who are part of the RegenOrthoSport Network have a range of procedures developed to help reduce pain, improve function and avoid spine surgery and the damaging side effects of epidural steroid injections. These highly specific, precise image-guided injection procedures use the bone marrow stem cells from your own body to promote the body’s natural healing ability in treating bulging or herniated discs, degenerative conditions in the spine, and other back and neck conditions.

The origin of spine pain is often misidentified which can lead to inappropriate treatment and unnecessary surgery. Being the pioneers of the field of Interventional Orthobiologics, and more than a decade and a half of experience in using these advanced Interventional Orthobiologics procedures for spine pain, our highly-skilled board-certified physicians are able to identify the most probable sources of pain and select the most appropriate non-surgical minimally-invasive treatment options available.

RegenOrthoSport Alternative to Spine Surgery or Steroid Epidural Injections

A steroid epidural is an injection that places steroid medication around irritated or inflamed nerves in the spine. While they do help patients avoid surgery, epidurals use very high-dose steroids that can cause severe side effects and actually reduce the body’s ability to heal.

RegenOrthoSport offers a variety of minimally invasive procedures that deliver ultra-precise spinal platelet injections or bone marrow stem cells where needed, utilizing advanced imaging guidance to ensure precise placement into the injured area.

Platelet Treatments for Pain from Bulging or Herniated Discs

Bulging or Herniated Disc Treatment

Bulging & Herniated Discs Explained

A bulging disc is also called a disc protrusion or bulge. This means that the outer covering of the disc (annulus) is partially torn or damaged and the inner gel is causing the area to bulge. This can put pressure on a spinal nerve and cause numbness and tingling (sciatica).

A herniated disc is also called a disc extrusion, slipped disc, sequestration, or “HNP” (Herniated Nucleus Pulposis). This means that the outer covering of the disc (annulus) is completely torn or damaged and the inner gel squirts out. This can put pressure on a spinal nerve or cause severe swelling and lead to numbness and tingling (sciatica).

Treating Bulging and Herniated Discs

Platelets are often used in the treatment of Bulging and Herniated Discs. This very specialized RegenOrthoSport-developed procedure utilizes natural growth factors from the patient’s own blood platelets. RegenOrthoSport’s extensive experience in Platelet-Rich Plasma, and Bone marrow stem cell concentrate from the patient’s own body, enables us to determine the best treatment options to address your source of pain.

Platelet Spinal procedures are administered with precise imaging guidance to target the specific areas needing treatment and may offer relief from lower back or neck pain, buttock and leg pain, or numbness and tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet. It’s a highly specific, precise image-guided non-surgical treatment alternative for patients suffering from bulging discs and herniated cervical, thoracic, or lumbar disc-related problems, performed only by specially trained RegenOrthoSport Physicians.

A Better Option than Steroid Epidurals

nerves in the spine. While they may help patients avoid surgery and can provide pain relief temporarily, epidurals use very high-dose steroids which can reduce the body’s ability to heal and can lead to severe side effects.

RegenOrthoSport platelet procedures is a very specific, precise image-guided injection-based alternative to a steroid epidural injection. It uses natural growth factors from the patient’s own body, derived from their own blood platelets, helping patients avoid surgery and the negative side effects of steroids.

Using Your Body’s Own Healing Agents for Degenerated Disc Pain: Bone Marrow Stem Cell Concentrate and Platelets

Advanced Treatments for Degenerative Discs

Degenerated disc patients tend to lose disc height which can lead to a wide range of complications.

  • Compressed nerves (stenosis)
  • Facet joint overload leading to arthritis
  • Lax ligaments that result in overall spinal instability

Our advanced Interventional Orthobiologic treatment protocol focuses on Platelet and/or Bone Marrow Stem Cell Concentrate from the patient’s own body deployed to treat disc movement due to lax ligaments and arthritic facet joints.

Each of these critical areas above may benefit from different types of procedures.

Because RegenOrthoSport was the first to develop this type of treatment modality, we have the experience and the broad spectrum of procedures that allow for the treatment of all of these conditions. RegenOrthoSport procedures provide highly specific, precise image-guided, non-surgical treatment options using the healing agents from your own body for patients suffering from the complications associated with degenerative disc disease. Our highly skilled Physicians carefully target the right procedure to the impacted areas of the spine using precise imaging guidance, so that patients may avoid spinal fusion surgery or frequent high-dose steroid epidural injections and their associated side effects.

Advanced Treatments for Torn & Painful Discs

Torn and Painful Discs

Disc tears are also called annular tears or HIZs (High-Intensity Zones) on MRI images. A patient with a painful and torn disc has “discogenic pain”. The outer covering of the disc can be torn due to injury and painful nerves can grow into the area, leading to low back pain, usually with sitting or activity. In addition, the tear in the disc may lead to noxious chemicals escaping and irritating the spinal nerve, which can lead to sciatica.

Patients with this type of disc damage and pain may benefit from a RegenOrthoSport Bone Marrow Stem Cell Concentrate injection procedure.

This highly specialized precise image-guided non-surgical procedure uses cells isolated from the patient’s own bone marrow. The bone marrow is collected using a special needle and advanced imaging guidance during an in-office procedure with your RegenOrthoSport Physician. The harvesting procedure is well tolerated by patients and many patients report experiencing no pain. After collection, the Bone Marrow is centrifuged to concentrate the healing cells, and unneeded cells are removed. These cells, along with a preparation of concentrated blood platelets, are injected the same day into the damaged disc, using precise advanced imaging guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Which spinal conditions can benefit from regenerative therapies?
Regenerative therapies offer relief for spinal conditions such as herniated discs and facet joint pain. These treatments stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and provide a non-surgical path to pain relief and recovery.
How do regenerative treatments support spinal healing and pain relief?

Regenerative treatments deliver growth factors to the spine, stimulating tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. This aids pain relief, improves mobility, and contributes to overall spine health.

Is regenerative therapy suitable for individuals with herniated discs or sciatica?
Yes, regenerative therapy is suitable for individuals with herniated discs and sciatica. By addressing inflammation and promoting healing, these treatments provide relief without invasive surgery.
What is the success rate of regenerative treatments compared to traditional spine surgeries?
While success rates can vary, regenerative treatments have shown comparable success to traditional spine surgeries. They offer quicker recovery and a less invasive approach.
Can regenerative therapies potentially prevent the need for invasive spinal procedures?
Yes, regenerative therapies have the potential to prevent the need for invasive spinal procedures by supporting natural healing processes and addressing underlying causes.
