Intervertebral disc (IVD) is a crucial tissue in the motor system containing multiple components with abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) and elaborately regulated vasculature and innervation. To reduce the financial cost produced by IDD and its threat to life quality, more efficient diagnostic methodology and treatment are in urgent need. Moreover, the same problem is harming the young generation. Although low back pain occurs because of multiple etiologies, 40-50% of chronic LBP treated in specialized pain or orthopedic clinics is alleged to be of discogenic origin. Patients pay for pain treatment directly and secondary consequences, such as disability, indirectly for this chronic disease. The total costs of low back pain in the United States exceed $100 billion per year with fewer than 5% of the patients who have an episode of low-back pain account for 75% of the total costs. Along with the aging of the population, the economic burden brought by LBP is significantly increasing. LBP is frequently associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and aging.

If you’re ready to try a new approach, reach out to Polaris Spine & Neurosurgery Center to learn about regenerative medicine. During centrifugation, your platelets separate from your blood’s other components, and concentrate. To create PRP, the practice draws a small amount of blood from your arm and then puts it through a process called centrifugation. You might not notice a positive change right away, but often, during the following months, you’ll find that you’re healing more rapidly than you would otherwise. To treat pain, your Polaris team injects the PRP solution directly into the injury site. PRP injections have the potential to speed healing after surgery and from conditions such as:

PRP injections contain a concentrated form of your blood’s own platelets, a protein that contains growth factors that facilitates body repair. PRP treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to accelerate your body’s natural healing process. Research supports that mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to renew damaged or diseased tissue, including whole organs, and help correct congenital deformities. Once it’s concentrated, the team injects the solution into your body. They pull it from your hip bone in a low-pain process and then spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate it. The team extracts and processes stem cells from your bone marrow using the EmCyte® system. Studies have shown that stem cells from adipose tissue have the potential to heal knee osteoarthritis.

The system works without any isolating chemicals, leaving your tissue healthy and highly effective. Polaris Spine & Neurosurgery Center uses a groundbreaking system called LipoGems® to extract and process adipose tissue from the abdomen in just a few minutes. How do you harvest stem cells from adipose tissue and bone marrow? Adipose tissue Polaris Spine & Neurosurgery Center also harvests nonspecific stem cells from your bone marrow. Your mesenchymal cells within this tissue are then extracted and injected into the problem area. The team at Polaris Spine & Neurosurgery Center uses mesenchymal stem cells harvested from your own tissue! In the most commonly used procedure, the doctor will harvest a small amount of adipose tissue, usually from the abdomen, using liposuction. They also have the ability to regulate the cells around them to induce the healing of injuries. Stem cells are non-specific cells that are capable of developing into specific cell types (e.g., cartilage, bone, neurons) in a process known as differentiation. Regenerative medicine is a type of medicine that uses mesenchymal stem cells and specialized fluids, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), to empower your body to repair itself.
