Below you will find our educational resources for patients suffering spine/back pain or injury.
Your first decision is to decide whether a non-surgical regenerative procedure is a good fit for you. As part of Oklahoma’s only Regenexx clinic, our physicians use non-surgical injection-based procedures for people suffering from spine/back pain due to common injuries. These procedures utilize concentrated repair cells that are obtained from your own bone marrow or blood to promote your body’s own natural ability to heal.
Osteoarthritis of the spine usually affects the facet joints between the vertebrae. It is also known as facet joint arthritis, facet joint syndrome and facet disease. As we age, The cartilage inside the facet joint can break down and become inflamed, triggering pain signals in nearby nerve endings.
Associated changes, including bone spurs (“osteophytes”) and thickening of bone, create a crowding effect around the local area and may result in “pinching” of nerves. In the spine, this condition is called “spondylosis” and impacts the neck, mid-back, and low back or “lumbar” spine.
Disc bulging and the more severe disc herniation are common problems experienced by tens of millions of Americans of all ages. Following prolonged pressure or instability of the spine, these bulges may occur without a specific history of a back injury. However, hundreds of thousands of patients each year do suffer sudden spine injuries such as car accidents that lead to disc herniation.
The mechanism behind disc bulges involves the development of weakness or breaks in the tough outer protective layer of the spinal disc. Once the outer coating of the disc is compromised, the inner jelly-like shock absorber portion of the disc may begin to push outward, creating a bulge seen on MRI. Once a disc herniation or significant bulge pushes far enough into the spinal canal or neural foramen, it may exert considerable pressure on either the spinal cord or nerve roots. If the pressure is high enough, the nerve tissues will begin to malfunction and produce a wide variety of symptoms. The most commonly reported early symptoms include increased sensitivity in the extremities, numbness, tingling, or mild muscle weakness of the arms or legs.
*If you experience these severe symptoms please contact a healthcare provider immediately. These symptoms could indicate the need for urgent medical attention.
Some other common spine pain conditions include:
