Stem cell therapy for herniated discs aims to harness the body's natural healing capabilities by injecting stem cells into the affected area, potentially stimulating tissue repair and regeneration, reducing pain and inflammation, and restoring disc function.
-
How it works:
- Stem cells are injected directly into the herniated disc, where they can differentiate into the cells needed to repair the damaged tissues.
- These specialized cells divide and help to repair and rejuvenate the cells in the damaged area, potentially rebuilding the disc material.
- Stem cells also secrete growth factors and cytokines that can help reduce inflammation and pain.
- This process can lead to pain relief and improved spinal function.
