Regenerative Medicine
for Spinal Pain at
Disc Therapy Institute

Rebuild. Restore. Relieve.

At Disc Therapy Institute, we combine proven regenerative therapies with advanced, non-surgical spinal decompression to help manage disc pain and restore mobility, without surgery’s risks or downtime. Using treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and select cell-based options, we work with your body’s natural healing process to target damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and support lasting spine health.

Why Patients Choose Our Approach?

Evidence-Informed Care

Research suggests intradiscal PRP may ease pain and improve function for some disc and joint issues, while evidence for cell-based injections remains promising but early.

Non-Surgical Focus

We combine regenerative therapies with spinal decompression and personalized rehab to target pain’s root causes; studies show decompression can boost pain relief and mobility.

Personalized plans

Every protocol follows a detailed consultation, imaging review, and medical history so we can match the right therapy to the right patient.

Conditions We May Help With:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic low back pain
  • Sciatica and nerve irritation
  • Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

Your First Step Toward Relief

If you’ve been told surgery is your only option, or you want a more natural approach, regenerative medicine combined with targeted spinal therapies may be worth exploring. Schedule your consultation to learn whether you’re a candidate for our program.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Regulatory status

PRP preparation devices generally have FDA 510(k) clearance for producing PRP; however, using PRP as an injection for most orthopedic/spine problems is an off-label use.

Cell-based products

In the U.S., FDA approval for mesenchymal stromal/stem cell therapies currently exists for non-orthopedic uses (e.g., pediatric steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease), not for disc or most musculoskeletal conditions. Clinics must follow all federal and state rules.

State context

Some states (including Florida, effective July 1, 2025) allow certain unapproved stem-cell interventions under specific conditions; this does not replace FDA oversight. We comply with all applicable laws and prioritize patient safety and informed consent.

What recent studies say?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Discogenic Pain

Cell-Based Therapies (e.g., Mesenchymal Stem Cells)

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSD)

Combining Therapies

✅ Effectiveness:

  • PRP and MSC therapies show promise in treating chronic spinal pain, tendinopathy, and osteoarthritis, with studies indicating pain relief and improved function.
  • Real-world evidence supports stem cell therapies in orthopedic applications, enhancing tissue repair and regeneration.

⚠️ Safety Considerations:

While regenerative therapies offer potential benefits, safety and effectiveness can vary based on individual factors. Always undergo these treatments under qualified professional supervision.
Disclaimer:
These studies reflect current research and are for education only. Results vary, and regenerative medicine isn’t FDA-approved for all spine issues. Discuss risks and options with your provider.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are the body’s basic building blocks, capable of repairing, rebuilding, and rejuvenating tissues. When injury or disease occurs, they respond to distress signals, transform into specialized cells, and release growth factors that activate the body’s natural healing process.

What type of tissue is used in regenerative medicine?

Our human cell and tissue products are derived from Wharton’s Jelly, a substance found in the umbilical cords of healthy, full-term births. We do not use any embryonic or fetal tissue.

How are tissue donors screened?

We follow strict FDA guidelines for safety. Donors undergo a comprehensive review of their medical and social histories. All tissues are carefully procured, processed, and tested to minimize the risk of disease transmission. Infectious disease testing is performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory in full compliance with federal regulations.

How long does a regenerative therapy session take?

Most regenerative therapy treatments can be completed in a single office visit, although the exact time depends on the area being treated. Your doctor will provide details specific to your treatment plan.

Does age affect treatment results?

Age can influence treatment outcomes. During your consultation, our medical team will evaluate your individual case and explain how age may play a role in your results.

Is regenerative therapy painful?

This treatment does not require invasive surgery, which means there is minimal discomfort. In most cases, it involves a single injection with little to no downtime.

How soon will I notice results?

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury, the area being treated, and your overall health. Your provider will outline a recovery timeline that is specific to your needs.

Are your regenerative products safe?

Yes. All products are rigorously tested to meet FDA standards in a CLIA-registered laboratory. Thousands of patients have received our tissue allografts without any reported adverse effects.

What treatments are included in regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine may include stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and other advanced biologic treatments.

What are the benefits of regenerative medicine?

Patients often experience reduced pain, faster recovery, improved mobility and function, and enhanced natural healing.

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing to make it easier to administer the injection.

Is regenerative therapy covered by insurance?

Some insurance plans may cover regenerative therapy. Please call our office at (954) 472-7975 to confirm coverage. If your plan does not cover the procedure, cash-pay options are available.
