Stem cell therapy for spinal stenosis aims to harness the regenerative properties of stem cells to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve spinal function, potentially offering relief from pain and other symptoms.
How Stem Cells Work:
Stem cells, often derived from a patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue, are injected into the affected area of the spine.
-
Regeneration and Repair:
Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into different cell types, including bone, cartilage, and muscle, which can help repair damaged tissues and restore normal spinal anatomy.
-
Anti-inflammatory Effects:
Stem cells also possess immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and pain associated with spinal stenosis.
