Regenexx Alternatives For Lingering Pain After Surgery

At Active Life Physical Medicine & Pain Center in Phoenix, Arizona, many individuals visit us with continued discomfort following back surgery. Common procedures such as discectomy may decrease disc stability, while fusion surgeries, where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined, can increase stress on nearby spinal segments. This often contributes to a condition called adjacent segment disease, which can lead to further degeneration and the potential need for additional surgery.

What’s more concerning is that surgical outcomes are not always favorable. In some studies, spinal fusion surgery outcomes have been found comparable to placebo (sham) procedures. Up to 25% of patients report complications following fusion. One study showed that 76% of individuals continued to use narcotics post-surgery and missed three times more work than those who did not undergo surgery.

Physicians within the licensed Regenexx network at our Phoenix location use advanced imaging guidance to precisely deliver customized orthobiologic procedures. These include the use of your body’s own platelets or bone marrow-derived cells, prepared using Regenexx lab processes. Treatment plans are tailored to address the full spine and the underlying contributors to post-surgical pain.

Procedures using Regenexx injectates may help:

  • Target inflammation in areas adjacent to a spinal fusion
  • Support irritated nerves 
  • Improve spine stability 
  • Reduce reliance on pain medications
