Stem Cell Therapy
Innovative NEW Treatment for Low Back Pain
Regenerative stem cell therapy is an innovative healing option using the body’s own stem cells to treat low back pain. Stem cells are an excellent alternative to minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery.
Advantages Of Least Invasive Spine Surgery
Least Invasive Spine Surgery is often more effective than minimally invasive spine surgery because of a smaller incision and quicker recovery. Our least invasive spine surgery options tailor treatment to our patients that have the fastest recovery time, return to work, play, and a pain-free lifestyle. Least invasive spine surgery is an emerging philosophy that bridges the gap between pain management and spinal surgery. International Spine Institute does offer minimally invasive surgery when appropriate, but most patients prefer our least invasive options first.

Relief and Recovery
Least invasive spine surgery is an excellent alternative to spinal fusion and should be exhausted before ever considering MIS surgery. Results of least invasive surgery have significantly decreased the patient’s return to work (as early as 2 weeks) and recovery time compared to MIS surgery. Endoscopic spine surgery has similar outcomes to MIS surgery in providing pain relief of symptoms.
Returning the patient to their active lifestyle sooner than minimally invasive spine surgery
