Spondylolysis Treatment In Phoenix, Arizona

Avoid Back Surgery With a Regenexx Approach

Spondylolysis is a small stress fracture in a part of the vertebra known as the pars interarticularis, the bone segment that connects the facet joints. This condition is often seen in individuals who participate in sports or activities that place repetitive strain on the lower back, such as gymnastics, football, or weightlifting. It can lead to lower back discomfort, reduced mobility, and, in some cases, instability in the spine.

Traditional treatments may involve spinal fusion surgery, a procedure designed to stabilize the affected area by permanently joining vertebrae. However, this approach often requires cutting through key muscles and soft tissues that support the spine. Research has shown that spinal fusion may result in increased stress on adjacent spinal segments and may not consistently provide better outcomes than non-surgical approaches. Complications have also been reported in a notable portion of cases over time.

At Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute in Phoenix, AZ, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network offer a less invasive option. Using image-guided precision, they perform procedures using Regenexx injectates that contain customized concentrations of your body’s own biologic materials. These injectates are delivered to the areas surrounding the fracture to help reduce pain and support improved function.

This outpatient procedure is designed to preserve spinal structure and often involves significantly less downtime than surgical alternatives. In many cases, there is little to no reliance on opioid medications or extended time away from work.
