How Stem-Cell Therapy Repairs Discs & Facet Joints
Tiny annular tears and inflamed facet capsules bathe nearby nerves in cytokines that trigger chronic pain. Concentrated autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs):
1
Seal micro-tears: in the disc’s collagen ring.
2
Release growth factors: that rebalance inflammatory cascades.
3
Stimulate new extracellular matrix: restoring disc height and shock absorption.
Early human trials show meaningful pain and disability reductions for 18–36 months after a single intradiscal MSC injection.
Are You a Candidate?
Degenerative disc disease or annular tear confirmed on MRI
Facet or SI-joint arthritis that flares after activity
Sciatica from a contained disc bulge (< 6 mm)
Adjacent-segment pain after laminectomy or fusion
Symptoms > 3 months despite PT, meds, or epidural steroids
Contraindications: severe spinal instability, cauda equina, active infection, coagulopathy, or cancer.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Eric S., Frisco
“I almost signed up for fusion. Three months after stem-cell disc injection, I backpacked Big Bend without pain meds.”
Sharon L., Arlington
“Tingling fingers wrecked my guitar gigs. Stem cells plus targeted PT had me back on stage in eight weeks.”

Safety & Risks
Because we use your own cells, the rejection risk is essentially zero. Infection occurs in < 1 % of cases, and nerve injury is extremely rare thanks to continuous imaging and a sterile laminar-flow suite.
Science & Evidence
- Phase III MSC trial for discogenic pain shows significant ODI improvement over placebo
- Dallas studies demonstrate that fluoroscopy-guided MSC injection reduces re-operation rates compared with blind techniques.
- Meta-analysis of 14 animal studies confirms that MSCs help maintain disc height and biomechanical strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
What back problems can stem-cell injections treat?
Regenerative spine stem-cell therapy is often used for lumbar disc degeneration, facet-joint arthritis, sacroiliac (SI) pain and chronic ligament strain to ease persistent back pain and restore stability.
How are spine stem-cells placed safely?
Under live fluoroscopy or ultrasound, a numbed needle delivers the cell concentrate directly into the injured disc, facet joint or supporting ligament for precise, image-guided placement.
Does stem-cell therapy reduce sciatica and nerve pain?
By calming disc or joint inflammation that irritates nerve roots, spine stem-cell injections may lessen radiating leg pain from conditions such as sciatica.
Could stem-cells postpone spine-fusion surgery?
For many patients with degenerative discs or facet arthritis, image-guided stem-cell therapy can relieve symptoms long enough to delay—or sometimes avoid—major spinal fusion.
What is the recovery timeline after a spine stem-cell shot?
Expect two-to-three days of soreness, immediate light walking, and phased return to lifting or sports after six–eight weeks under your provider’s rehab plan.
How long do stem-cell results for back pain last?
Clinical reports show relief often lasting six-to-twelve months—and sometimes longer—when paired with ongoing core-strength and mobility training.
