Avoid Spine Surgery with Regenexx

Everybody knows someone once or twice removed who has had a bad result with back or neck surgery. Pain management doctors don’t do much better, as they inject harmful steroids or want to burn away nerves that you need with procedures like radiofrequency lesioning. If you have a disc bulge, even minimally invasive surgeries that cut away the portion of the disc pressing against the nerve leaves the disc structurally weaker and more susceptible to tears or re-herniation in the future.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing growth factors and cells into the exact areas of damage around the disc to promote natural healing of the tear. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.
