Stem Cell Therapy for Lumbar and Cervical Hernia

Lumbar and cervical disc herniation is a common health problem that occurs when the discs in the spine press on the nerve roots due to degeneration or displacement, causing pain and restriction of movement. While traditional treatment methods include physical therapy, drug therapy and surgical interventions, stem cell therapy has recently attracted attention as an alternative and innovative method.

Stem cells are special cells that have the capacity to repair and renew the body and can transform into different cell types. Stem cell therapy in herniated discs is used to repair and regenerate damaged disc tissue. In this treatment method, stem cells, usually taken from the patient’s own body, are injected directly into the damaged area after special procedures. The aim of the treatment is for the stem cells to heal the damaged tissues to reduce pain and restore the function of the spine.

One of the biggest advantages of stem cell therapy is that there is no need for surgery. This is an important advantage, especially for patients who want to avoid surgery. In addition, the recovery time of stem cell therapy is much shorter compared to surgical methods and patients can usually return to their daily activities within a short time after treatment.

However, stem cell therapy may not be suitable for every patient. The effectiveness of the treatment may vary depending on factors such as the patient’s age, general health and the extent of the hernia. Research on the long-term results of stem cell therapy is ongoing and scientific data in this field is expected to increase.

Stem cell therapy for herniated discs in the lower back and neck shows promise as a non-surgical treatment option. However, it is important to consult a specialist doctor and make a personalized assessment before deciding on treatment. Stem cell therapy is an innovative approach with the potential to improve quality of life in appropriate patients.
