How it Works?

We offer spine pain management in Charlotte through regenerative medicine, such as stem cell and PRP therapy, among others. We aim to relieve pain and restore function for people suffering from various spinal issues, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain.

PRP Therapy for the Spine

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural, regenerative option for managing spine pain. This treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the treatment area. These platelets contain growth factors that stimulate healing in damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and may help restore mobility.

Stem Cell Therapy for the Spine

Stem cell therapy is another approach used in spine pain management to promote healing and tissue regeneration. It involves using stem cells, often harvested from the patient’s bone marrow or fat tissue, and injecting them into damaged areas of the spine to encourage repair and reduce chronic inflammation.

Recommended Treatments for Spine Pain Relief in Charlotte

Depending on the cause and severity of your pain, your physiatrist may recommend treatment options such as epidural spinal injections, stem cell, and PRP therapy to restore mobility.

Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural steroid injections are a non-surgical treatment used to relieve inflammation and pain in the spine. These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves, helping to alleviate pain.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

This treatment gently stretches the spine using a motorized traction table. It aims to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract. Spinal decompression therapy can help improve nutrient flow to damaged discs and reduce pain.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation targets the nerves responsible for sending pain signals from the spine. Using heat generated by radio waves, this treatment disrupts the nerve’s ability to transmit pain, offering long-term spine relief.

Spinal Facet Joint Injections

Spinal facet joint injections are used to diagnose and treat pain stemming from the small joints at the back of the spine. These injections contain a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and block pain signals.

Physical Therapy

A physical therapist creates an exercise and stretching program or routine aimed at strengthening back muscles, improving flexibility, and correcting posture. Over time, this reduces pain, prevents future injuries by strengthening the back muscles, and improves mobility.

Spinal Nerve Blocks

Spinal nerve blocks involve injecting anesthetic medication around a specific nerve or group of nerves suspected of causing spinal pain. These are often used for diagnostic purposes, but can also provide relief from spine pain.
