Non-Surgical Spine Treatment

What Are Non-Surgical Solutions for Back Pain?

Regenerative therapies involving stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) continue to develop and improve the way spinal issues are treated. With pinpointed methods of administration, orthobiologic injections are capable of attending to delicate areas in soft tissues surrounding the spinal cord, without the intrusiveness of major surgery.

Dr. Leon Reyfman is a non-surgical spine specialist with over a decade of experience treating back, neck and disc conditions. Using innovative stem cell procedures and other ultramodern surgical alternatives, Dr. Reyfman and the team of experts at Stem Cell Therapy NYC provide customized solutions for chronic back pain.

What Conditions Benefit from Non-Surgical Pain Relief?

If you suffer from arthritis or other forms of degenerative joint disease in your spine, neck, shoulders or hips, you may benefit from surgical alternatives that heal without contributing to existing inflammation, such as PRP or stem cell therapy for joint pain.

Osteoarthritis, bursitis in the hips and lower back muscle pain benefit from the natural healing responses that regenerative spine treatments provoke. Common non-surgical treatments for specific back problems include:

• Non-surgical herniated disc treatment. When the soft center of a disc pushes through the disc’s outer layer, surrounding nerves and tissues become compressed.
• Non-surgical scoliosis treatment. Natural curvature in the spine affects posture and puts pressure on areas that cause pain.
• Non-surgical spinal stenosis treatment. When the canal that encompasses the spinal cord becomes narrowed, different regenerative nerve treatments such as stem cell therapy or PRP for nerves may alleviate pain.

What Non-Surgical Options Exist for Nerve Damage in the Spine?

Innovative regenerative nerve treatments involving peripheral magnetic stimulation and laser therapy treat neuropathy in the back without causing further damage to delicate surrounding discs. Minimally invasive treatments are preferred, as the musculoskeletal system depends on a healthy spine to function properly.

Injury, illness and natural aging may lead to radiculopathic nerve pain that negatively affects other parts of your body, making it difficult to walk or sit still for long periods of time. If you’re experiencing nerve pain in your back, your NYC non-surgical back doctor may recommend:

• Sciatica treatment. Pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg may mean your sciatic nerve has been compressed.
• Pinched or trapped nerve treatment. Nerve entrapment release is a regenerative therapy that involves widening the area around damaged nerves to improve blood flow.
• Non-surgical neck pain treatment. Chronic neck pain can lead to pain that spreads down your spine to other parts of your body and upward, leading to chronic headaches.

What Other Regenerative Therapies Treat Chronic Back Pain?

Regenerative therapies such as intradiscal PRP and platelet lysate injections are revolutionizing the world of non-surgical spine treatment by finding new ways for the body to heal itself. Utilizing your own platelets eliminates risk of donor rejection or negative reactions to foreign materials and medications.

Procedures like bone marrow stem cell injection (BMAC) and adipose tissue injection (MFAT)  use cells from your own marrow or fatty tissue to regenerate strength in different areas of your spine. Your non-surgical spine specialist may also recommend:

• PRP for degenerative disc disease. Regenerative properties in platelets get to work instantly combating symptoms of DDD to supplement lost or diseased tissue.
• PRP for spine arthritis. Damage caused by arthritis can be counteracted with beneficial growth proteins derived from your own blood.
• Stem cell therapy for herniated disc pain. Stem cell therapy for spine issues like herniated discs may be used to promote new and healthy tissue formation inside of bulging discs.

What Are Advantages of Non-Surgical Back Pain Treatment?

Regenerative spine treatments provide incentive for healthy tissue to grow while simultaneously decreasing inflammation. Choosing a non-surgical pain relief significantly reduces your risk of infection, alleviates pain and may even prevent future issues thanks to the self-motivating cell repair involved in regenerative treatment.

Saving you time, stress and money, non-surgical spine treatment is a win-win for those whose many attempts at treating back pain with conservative therapies have failed. A few benefits of opting for a surgical alternative include:

• Fast acting.Many non-surgical spine treatments involve bioengineered cells that get to work immediately with areas of cell repair and tissue regrowth.
• Less invasive. Whether you undergo injections or shock wave therapy, non-surgical treatments don’t involve major incisions.
• No reliance on meds. Pain medications can be significantly hard on organs and other parts of your body, not to mention highly addictive in some cases.
• Short recovery period. Recovery can last a few days to a few weeks depending on severity of condition and treatment used, while surgical recovery can sometimes last up to a year.
