Non-Surgical Treatment for Spine Conditions

Active Life Physical Medicine Offers Surgery-Free Relief

If you’ve been advised to undergo spinal fusion or rely on ongoing steroid injections, it’s worth exploring a non-surgical alternative. At our Phoenix location, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network provide interventional orthobiologic procedures designed to support spine function without the risks associated with surgery.

While epidural steroid injections can temporarily reduce nerve inflammation, they also introduce large doses of steroids that may impair healing and potentially accelerate tissue degeneration, often increasing the likelihood of future surgery.

Spinal fusion surgery comes with its own concerns. Clinical studies show 36% of spinal fusion patients experience complications, and more than 75% continue to require pain medications post-surgery. Recovery periods can be extensive, with surgical patients missing up to three times more work than those who pursue non-surgical options. In contrast, Regenexx procedures carry a reported complication rate of less than 0.1% and do not involve permanent structural changes.

At Active Life Physical Medicine & Pain Center, physicians utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, to guide the placement of high-dose Regenexx injectates, derived from your own bone marrow concentrate or blood platelets. This method ensures targeted delivery directly into the affected spinal structures to help stabilize the area and support your body’s natural repair mechanisms.

These outpatient procedures are part of the Regenexx platform known as Interventional Orthopedics—a specialized field requiring advanced training. Physicians at this Phoenix clinic undergo rigorous, third-party training and adhere to Regenexx patented protocols to ensure consistent, high-standard care.
