Don't Miss! Learn about your non-surgical options for back or neck pain.

Neck pain can be caused by many things including wear and tear or trauma. There are many structures that can cause pain including bad discs, pinched nerves, arthritic or damaged facet joints, loose ligaments, or weak muscles. We focus on identifying and treating many of these structures at the same time, rather than trying to find one thing causing pain. Why? Our research shows that if we precisely inject your body’s healing cells into many damaged structures we get much better results.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of damage in your neck and beyond to treat the underlying cause of neck pain. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work.

Spinal fusion surgery is a highly invasive procedure that has a significant risk of complications. Research shows that complications occur in 36% of fusion patients while 76% still require narcotics for pain following their recovery from surgery. Surgical patients also miss three times as much work as those who don’t have surgery. A simple injection of your own cells, by contrast, has less than a 0.1% risk while the results of a spine fusion cannot be reversed and are categorized as a high-risk procedure with little guarantee of success.

At Regenexx we invented a new approach to orthopedic care we call Interventional Orthopedics. This approach involves the use of image guidance (flouroscopy and ultrasound) to precisely place high-dose stem cells or platelets from your body directly where they are needed in a specific joint structure. These cells then work in the site of your injury to grow into new, healthy tissue, a process that will only occur if the cells have been placed exactly where they need to go in order to achieve positive outcomes for the patient. This precise approach to orthopedic care can’t be replicated by a surgeon or nurse in a chiropractor’s office. Interventional Orthopedics requires thousands of hours of training following a standardized protocol process to become a licensed Regenexx physician.
