Stem Cells for the Treatment of Back Pain
The idea of utilizing stem cells to repair and restore the human body has been a subject of public attention since the early 1990s. However, most of this attention has been focused on diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and heart disease – not on the far more common condition of chronic pain. But that’s beginning to change, and researchers are discovering the exciting possibilities that stem cells could offer for the treatment of various pain conditions – especially back pain.
