Studies have shown the following potential symptom improvements:
Low back pain is one of the most widely diagnosed conditions in the world. In the U.S., it’s common throughout adulthood but is especially prevalent for adults under the age of 50. Although there are many causes of low back pain, one common culprit is intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration or degenerative disc disease.
More than 3 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with degenerative disc disease every year. The condition occurs when one more disc, which acts as padding between the vertebrae, breaks down, causing pain. These discs cushion the spine against stress during movement and weight-bearing activity, and they also help the spine bend. Factors such as aging, injury, and repeated daily stress can cause changes in disc structure and loss of fluid in the discs. The body may build bone spurs to compensate for the damaged discs. Discs can also bulge, known as a herniated disc. Other issues may include a narrowing of the spinal canal and cartilage breakdown.
Degenerative disc disease and its host of complications can produce a number of symptoms. In some cases, pain can be severe enough to interfere with daily activities. Symptoms typically progress with age and may include:
Because there is no cure for degenerative disc disease, treatment options are limited. Physical therapy and targeted exercises may help to strengthen and stabilize the affected areas while promoting mobility. Surgical interventions, including spinal fusions and decompression procedures to remove part of the joint, may also be used in cases characterized by persistent pain.
Regenerative medicine therapy is an emerging researched treatment that has the natural potential to address many chronic conditions. Renerative Medicine for Degenerative Disc Disease, in particular, is an option for those looking to manage their symptoms from a degenerative condition. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various types of cells, including bone, cartilage, and muscle cells. In studies, they have shown the ability to form cartilage-like tissue to regenerate intervertebral discs.
Regenerative Medicine for Degenerative Disc Disease has been studied for safety and has been found to have few to no side effects. It is, therefore, an option to consider for patients who may not have responded to other therapies, or for those who wish to explore alternatives to invasive surgery.
Regenerative Medicine is still considered an experimental procedure and not approved by the FDA. Patients must consider realistic expectations in their research and possible therapy options.

Why Disc Degeneration Matters Back pain and neck pain are extremely common, and one major contributor is intervertebral disc degeneration. The intervertebral discs sit between the bones of the spine and help absorb shock, support movement, and keep the spine flexible. Over time, these discs can lose structure, hydration, and strength. When this happens, it…
Understanding Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Intervertebral disc degeneration, often called IVDD, occurs when the discs between the bones of the spine begin to lose structure, hydration, and function. These discs act as cushions that help absorb shock, support movement, and maintain flexibility in the spine. As degeneration progresses, the inner portion of the disc, known as…
Low back pain is one of the most common health problems worldwide and a leading cause of disability. Most people will experience it at some point in their lives, and for many, it becomes a chronic condition that affects daily activities, work, and overall quality of life.
