Avoid Spinal Fusion Surgery with Regenexx Procedures

Spondylolysis is a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis, the bone bridge that connects the facet joints of the spine. This condition is commonly found in athletes and active individuals who participate in high-impact or repetitive back-motion sports such as football, gymnastics, weightlifting, or dance. Symptoms may include localized lower back pain, stiffness, and a decline in spinal mobility.

Standard care often involves spinal fusion surgery, permanently joining vertebrae to stabilize the spine. However, fusion typically requires cutting through key muscle groups and fascia, which can compromise spinal integrity. Research has shown:

  • Spinal fusion may increase stress on adjacent spinal levels.
  • It may not offer better outcomes than non-surgical interventions.
  • Complications occur in approximately 36% of patients who undergo spinal fusion procedures.

At Active Life Physical Medicine & Pain Center, during this outpatient procedure using Regenexx injectates, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network use advanced imaging techniques to precisely deliver customized concentrations of your body’s natural healing cells,  into the damaged area. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for pain medications or time off work.

As the medical director and founder of Active Life Physical Medicine and Pain Center, Innovative Surgery Center, and Regena Spa, Dr. Lundquist has great enthusiasm toward regenerative medicines and a special interest in sports medicine and pain. She loves her work and feels blessed to be entrusted to help patients by alleviating painful ailments.

Her desire is to uncover methods that are more healing and less of a “band aid,” which has led her to become a leader in regenerative medicine technologies. She feels strongly about the importance of seeking methods to help alleviate pain on every level – holistically.

Originally a massage therapist and, later, an osteopath, she has a strong foundation to alleviate patient’s pain. She is a “hands on” physician who implements osteopathic techniques when appropriate with other tools.

She is dual board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation along with pain management, as well as a diplomat with the American Board of Pain Medicine.
