Back pain can result from a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. It can stem from problems with the spinal muscles, discs, bones, or nerves in the lumbar (lower) spine. Injury to the legs, along with the complex network of connective tissues, muscles, and tendons, can also cause persistent sharp or dull pain in the back.
While back pain can occur in various areas, the upper and middle back are commonly affected by the underlying causes defined above. In some cases, neurological issues can make the pain more severe or concerning.
Today, there are a variety of non-surgical, cell-based therapies available to relieve back pain. These treatments include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), adipose (fat) stem cells, and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs). These therapies are sourced from adult donors and have been clinically proven to be effective in healing a range of conditions, including back pain.
In some cases, surgery may still be necessary, but stem cell treatments like PRP and UC-MSCs can accelerate healing, reduce scarring, and improve recovery outcomes. These therapies offer a promising non-invasive option for those seeking relief from chronic back pain.
Inflammation and Back Pain
Inflammation, whether caused by mechanical back pain or inflammatory back pain, often occurs where soft tissues, such as ligaments and tendons, attach to bone. It is important to accurately determine the type of back pain before starting treatment, as unresolved pain can contribute to other orthopaedic concerns.
Mechanical Back Pain
Mechanical back pain is typically caused by excessive stress on the network of connective tissues, muscles, or soft tissues surrounding the vertebrae. Poor posture, improper seating, and incorrect lifting techniques are among the most common causes of this type of back pain.
Inflammatory Back Pain
Inflammatory back pain, though less common than mechanical pain, can be caused by autoimmune diseases such as psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, and spondylitis. This type of pain is often associated with inflammation in the joints or spine.
Our Approach
At Bangkok Stem Cells, we offer a range of orthopaedic regenerative therapies that harness the body’s natural inflammatory processes to reduce both inflammation and pain. For over 18 years, we’ve been helping patients find non-surgical, clinically proven treatments for a variety of conditions.
While surgery may still be necessary in some cases, regenerative therapies can be used alongside surgical options to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and minimize scarring.
