Low back pain or lumbar pain commonly has its origin in the incorrect functioning of different tissues of the lumbar region, including nerves, muscles, facet joints and intervertebral discs. In most cases, pain is caused by damage to several of these tissues at the same time, which function as parts of a precise mechanism, where the integrity of each one is necessary to provide good lumbar health. The pathologies of the intervertebral disc are considered of significant contribution to the painful sensation. Herniated discs, disc protrusions and osteoarthritis are the most common degenerative pathologies. The most frequent cause of low back pain is degenerative, associated with biomechanical changes in the spine, resulting in damage that can reach severe intensity and cause a great limitation in our quality of life.
What does neurospinal regenerative therapy consist of?
The neurospinal regenerative therapy developed at COT-Neurosurgery Remei is a novel and minimally invasive intervention free of adverse reactions, supported by scientific evidence, which uses biotechnology and provides immediate benefits in the control of low back pain. It also allows efficacy by reversing the degenerative cascade, with the consequent repair and regeneration of the intervertebral disc and other affected tissues. Platelet growth factors are proteins found in our own blood, exerting important biological effects. By means of this revolutionary technique, neurosurgery specialists are able to activate, concentrate and infiltrate them with high precision in the area damaged by the degenerative pathology. Thus, they will participate directly in the regulation of pain and in the regeneration, through stimulation, of functions that result in significant improvement or even the disappearance of symptoms with rapid return to daily physical activity, making it an excellent alternative to conventional surgery in many cases.
In the Clínica Nostra Senyora del Remei (COT – Neurosurgery Remei) recently counted with the presence of the outstanding Research Professor Dr. Eduardo Anitua, in one of the practical interventions, to discuss the latest advances in the area of Regenerative Medicine with plasma rich in platelet growth factors and its clinical application.
