Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is caused when swelling and growth of bones and ligaments in the lower back restrict available space in the spinal canal cause pinching or impingement of nerves. Treatment commonly involves back surgery that opens up the spinal canal by removing tissue around the impingement. Recent studies show after two or more years, surgery is not more effective than physical therapy and its results are indistinguishable from sham surgery. In addition to performing no better than a placebo, spine surgery comes with significant downtime and risk associated with back surgery.
During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing mechanisms into the exact areas of damage to reduce swelling and nerve impingement. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work.
