Spondylolysis Treatment In New Jersey, NY

Considering An Alternative To Spine Surgery?

Spondylolysis involves a small stress fracture in a part of the vertebra called the pars interarticularis, which connects the facet joints. This condition commonly affects individuals involved in sports or activities that require frequent bending, twisting, or extension of the lower back, such as gymnastics, weightlifting, or football.

Symptoms may include lower back discomfort, reduced mobility, and, in some cases, spinal instability. While traditional treatments often recommend spinal fusion surgery to stabilize the area, this procedure may require cutting through supportive muscles and tissues. Research has shown that spinal fusion may increase mechanical stress on adjacent segments and does not always lead to improved outcomes compared to non-surgical options. Some individuals may also experience complications over time.

At the Rehabilitation Medicine Center of New Jersey, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network perform targeted procedures using Regenexx injectates, customized from your own biologic material. These are delivered under live image guidance to the area surrounding the stress fracture with the goal of supporting function and reducing discomfort.

This outpatient procedure is designed to help preserve spinal structure and may involve less downtime compared to surgical alternatives. Many individuals return to normal activities sooner and may avoid prolonged reliance on medications.
