Stem cells for lumbar discopathy
A minimally invasive alternative for chronic low back pain
Lumbar discopathy can seriously limit quality of life. When conservative treatment is not enough and surgery seems the only way out, stem cells offer a different path: attempting to repair the damaged disc from within, with a minimally invasive approach and published scientific backing.
If you have been living with lower back pain for a while and the options you have been offered do not convince you, it may be worth finding out what regenerative medicine can offer for your specific case.
Own biological origin
Stem cells are obtained from the patient themselves, via an abdominal liposuction. Adipose tissue is a rich source of mesenchymal cells.
GMP certified laboratory processing
The treatment is processed in a GMP laboratory, under strict quality and safety standards. Each dose is certified prior to infiltration to ensure its concentration and viability.
Application directed to the affected disc
Cells infiltrate directly into the affected lumbar region with the aim of stimulating disc tissue repair, reducing inflammation and relieving pain.
How it works
1
Medical assessment and diagnosis
The medical team is reviewing your history, diagnostic imaging and clinical situation to determine whether you are a candidate for treatment and which protocol best suits your case.
2
Obtaining and manufacturing of the treatment
A sample of adipose tissue is extracted via liposuction from the patient themselves. Afterwards, it is transferred to the laboratory for processing in a cleanroom under strict safety regulations until a personalised dose is obtained.
3
Application and infiltration
The cells are applied via an infiltration performed using a surgical C-arm. It is a minimally invasive procedure without open surgery.
4
Personalised medical follow-up
We carry out follow-up visits at one week, one month, six months and one year to evaluate progress and adjust the plan if necessary.
Lower back pain reduction
The main objective is to alleviate the chronic pain associated with discopathy, improving the patient's quality of life and functional capacity.
An alternative before surgery
For patients in whom conservative treatment has not worked, stem cells can represent a minimally invasive option before considering surgery.
Evidence-based personalised treatment
Each treatment is tailored to the specific case of the patient. The stem cell approach for lumbar discopathy has scientific publications that support its application.
