The Problem: Back Pain Isn’t Always About the Disc
Chronic back pain can feel like it’s taking over your life, limiting your ability to lead, compete, and thrive. Many assume the intervertebral disc is the main culprit, and traditional treatments often jump straight to addressing the disc. However, this approach misses the bigger picture.
The truth is, back pain rarely stems from just one source. Supporting structures like the facet joints, spinal ligaments, and muscles also play critical roles. Overlooking these elements can lead to incomplete or ineffective treatments, leaving you still in pain and unable to perform at your peak.
The Solution: A Comprehensive Regenerative Plan
Instead of focusing solely on the disc, our advanced regenerative approach considers every contributor to back pain. By addressing these elements in a strategic order, we optimize outcomes and reduce the risk of unnecessary or premature interventions.
1. Facet Joints: PRP injections can reduce inflammation and repair cartilage loss in the joints that guide spinal motion.
2. Spinal Ligaments: Strengthening damaged ligaments with PRP improves stability, preventing further degeneration.
3. Nerve Roots: PRP reduces inflammation around compressed nerves, alleviating pain and restoring function.
4. Multifidus Muscles: Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) supports sarcomere development in atrophied multifidus muscles, improving spinal stabilization.
Once these structures are addressed, true discogenic pain—if present—can be treated with PRP or bone marrow concentrate, reducing inflammation and enhancing function. However, direct disc injections are reserved for cases confirmed by imaging and symptomatology, such as sitting intolerance or axial pain that aligns with disc pathology.
What This Means for Patients
Back pain doesn’t have to define your life or your leadership. For someone who thrives on peak performance, both at work and on the golf course, addressing the root causes of back pain restores confidence and vitality.
By treating the entire spinal system—joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves—before targeting the disc, you’ll likely experience:
• Enhanced Mobility: Regain the freedom to move without limitations.
• Sustained Performance: Feel strong and stable, whether you’re in the boardroom or competing on the slopes.
• Proactive Health: Avoid invasive surgeries while investing in long-term health solutions.
This approach isn’t about masking symptoms; it’s about solving the problem and giving you the tools to maintain an active, vibrant lifestyle.
