Non-Surgical Treatment for Spine Conditions

Is Back Surgery The Only Option?

At Mountain View Headache and Spine in Phoenix AZ, the Regenexx approach offers innovative non-surgical treatments that use the body’s own cells to address back and neck pain from conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, torn or painful discs, facet injuries, spondylolysis, and other degenerative spine issues.

Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute Offers Surgery-Free Relief

Have you been told that your only options for relieving back pain are epidural steroid injections or invasive surgery? At Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, we offer a more advanced, non-surgical solution through the Regenexx approach. This treatment uses the body’s own cells to support tissue repair and improve spine function.

Epidural steroid injections may offer temporary relief by reducing inflammation around spinal nerves, but they also carry significant risks. High doses of steroids can impair the body’s ability to heal and may even accelerate tissue degeneration, potentially increasing the need for surgery in the future.

Spinal fusion surgery is a major procedure with notable risks. Research shows that 36 percent of patients experience complications, and 76 percent continue to rely on narcotics for pain even after surgery. Recovery can be lengthy, with patients missing up to three times more work compared to those who avoid surgery. By comparison, a precise injection using your cells has less than a 0.1 percent risk and does not involve the permanent changes or high-risk factors associated with surgery.

At Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute, we use a regenerative approach known as Interventional Orthopedics, developed through the Regenexx platform. This method uses advanced imaging, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, to precisely place high-dose cells from your body into the exact areas of injury. These cells support the growth of healthy tissue and aid in the repair process. Proper placement is critical and cannot be replicated through general injection techniques or procedures performed without image guidance.

Our physicians are part of the licensed Regenexx network and receive extensive training to ensure expertise in this advanced method. Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine the most likely sources of pain and the best non-surgical treatment options available.

The goal of these outpatient procedures is to stabilize the spine, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility without surgery. At Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute, we are committed to offering effective, minimally invasive spine care for patients in Phoenix and the surrounding areas.
