ost people suffer from low back pain at some
point during their lives. Many have chronic low
back problems that have never responded to
traditional treatment, including nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy and
chiropractic treatment. These people end up either in a pain
clinic, on narcotic medications, or having a surgical procedure
that does not solve their problem and often makes things worse.
Traditional spinal injections can provide temporary relief, but do

nothing for long-term healing. The question then becomes, is
there a better way? We believe so.
Most traditional pain specialists focus only on reducing the
pain and not on understanding why the pain is there in the first
place. Pain cannot just be looked at as an inflamed nerve, but
rather as an entire body segment that isn’t functioning properly.
Here at Regenexx Pittsburgh, we understand the difference.
Our treatments focus on the entire lumbar spine, using a
combination of regenerative procedures, and not just focusing
on what nerve we can block.
Platelets are the healing cells in the blood and when used
properly in the lumbar spine, they have the ability to heal various
damaged tissues. We use platelets in the epidural space, facet
and sacroiliac joints, and in all of the supporting ligaments of the
spine to provide a comprehensive healing approach to the entire
lumbar region. A combination of platelet injections and an active
therapy/exercise program will lead to a stable spine. A stable
spine is one that doesn’t cause pain, and more importantly
enables our patients to function to their full potential.
As a group we’ve treated low back pain for decades.
We know the difference. Now that we added regenerative
treatment options to our low back treatments, our patients are
experiencing significantly improved long-term benefits. We no
longer see people back every three months for a pain procedure;
rather every year for an update on their progress. This has been
one of the most exciting changes in our practice and we look
forward to returning more patients to a functional lifestyle
through these new treatment options.
We invite you to learn about some of our patient
success stories, procedures, and more on our website,
