Back pain affects 80% of people at some point in their lives. While many cases resolve on their own, chronic spine problems need targeted treatment. We offer regenerative options that address the root cause of your pain.
Understanding your spine condition is the first step toward finding relief
Age-related breakdown of spinal discs causing chronic back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The discs lose hydration and height over time.
Arthritis affecting the small joints that connect vertebrae. These joints allow spinal movement and can develop the same arthritis as knees or hips.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves, causing leg pain, numbness, and weakness. Often improves with sitting or leaning forward.
Most chronic spine pain is driven by inflammation at the cellular level. Whether it is degenerative disc disease, facet arthritis, or stenosis, elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines like IL-1 (interleukin-1) play a central role in pain and tissue breakdown.
Traditional treatments like steroid injections temporarily suppress this inflammation but do not resolve it. Research shows steroids may actually accelerate cartilage degeneration over time.
Dr. Buchheit's approach uses regenerative therapies that help restore the natural balance of cytokines, promoting healing rather than just masking symptoms.
Autologous conditioned serum targeting IL-1 inflammation
Concentrated platelets with growth factors for tissue healing
Class IV laser for deep tissue pain relief and cellular energy
Essential foundation for long-term spine health
Yes, many spine conditions respond well to conservative and regenerative treatments. Degenerative disc disease, facet arthritis, and mild to moderate stenosis can often be managed with regenerative therapies, physical therapy, and core strengthening exercises. Surgery is typically reserved for severe cases with significant neurological symptoms.
Regenerative therapies address the underlying inflammation that drives spine pain. Rather than suppressing symptoms, treatments like the Regenokine® Program help restore the natural balance of cytokines in the spine. This can reduce pain, improve function, and potentially slow further degeneration.
While steroid injections can provide temporary relief, they do not address the underlying problem and research suggests they may accelerate cartilage and disc degeneration with repeated use. Regenerative therapies aim to resolve inflammation and promote healing rather than just mask symptoms.
Surgery may be necessary for severe spinal stenosis with progressive neurological symptoms (significant weakness, numbness, or bowel/bladder changes), large disc herniations that do not respond to conservative care, or spinal instability. Dr. Buchheit will help determine if surgery or conservative treatment is the best option for your specific situation.
Do not let spine problems keep you from living your life. Schedule a consultation to learn how regenerative medicine can help.
