Additional information
Designed for patients experiencing chronic lower back discomfort, disc degeneration, or age-related spinal wear and tear who are seeking a supportive regenerative approach alongside conventional care.
This program utilizes UC-MSCs (Umbilical Cord–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells) administered directly into the affected lumbar spine levels. Treatment is commonly performed across L3–L5 levels, with approximately 10-25 million cells per level depending on MRI findings, severity, age, and overall patient condition.
The procedure is performed by our neurosurgical team in an operating room setting at our partnered hospital under fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) guidance for precise injection placement
Treatment aims to support lower back comfort, mobility, daily function, and spinal health, while potentially helping slow further degeneration progression in some patients depending on their condition and lifestyle factors.
