Low Back Pain
Image-Guided, Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Understanding Low Back Pain

Low back pain can affect walking, standing, sitting, sleep, exercise, and everyday activities. Pain may arise from several structures in the lumbar spine, including the facet joints and intervertebral discs. Symptoms can persist despite medications, physical therapy, injections, or other conservative treatments.

Common low back conditions we evaluate include:

  •   Lumbar facet joint pain and degeneration
  • Lumbar disc degeneration
  •  Disc-related low back pain
  • Chronic low back pain associated with degenerative changes
  •   Persistent low back pain despite conservative treatment

 Determining the source of low back pain is important because treatment options depend on the structures involved, the patient's symptoms, examination findings, and imaging.

How Regenerative Therapy May Help

 Regenerative medicine approaches may be considered for appropriately selected patients with certain types of lumbar facet or disc-related pain. Treatment is intended to target the affected area, with the goal of supporting function, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving mobility.



These therapies may aim to:

  • Address pain associated with lumbar facet joints or discs
  •  Help reduce pain and inflammation
  •  Improve low back mobility and function
  •    Improve comfort with everyday activities
  •  Provide a non-surgical treatment option for appropriate patients 

When a lumbar spine procedure is appropriate, treatment is performed by an anesthesiologist using fluoroscopic or advanced 3D image guidance to visualize the treatment area and guide precise placement.

Treatment recommendations depend on the source and severity of the patient's pain, examination and imaging findings, overall health, and whether regenerative therapy is appropriate for the individual patient.

Potential Benefits
Patients may experience:

  • Reduced low back pain and stiffness
  •   Improved mobility and function 
  •  Greater comfort with everyday activities
  • Reduced limitations related to chronic low back pain
  •  Potential to delay or avoid more invasive treatment in appropriately selected patients

Who May Be a Candidate
You may be considered if you:

  • Have ongoing or recurring low back pain
  • Have lumbar facet or disc-related pain
  •  Have tried conservative treatment without lasting improvement
  •  Have imaging findings that correlate with your symptoms
  • Are exploring non-surgical treatment options
  • Want to explore options before considering spinal fusion surgery

Important Considerations

  • Regenerative therapies are not guaranteed solutions
  • Some patients may still require surgical treatment
  • Results vary by condition and individual
  • Medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy

What to Expect

Your consultation includes:

  • Review of your lower back symptoms and medical history
  • Review of prior lower back treatments and relevant spine imaging
  • Evaluation of lumbar spine function and mobility
  • Assessment of whether regenerative treatment may be appropriate
  • Discussion of realistic expectations and treatment alternatives

Explore Your Options Before Surgery

If persistent low back pain is limiting your mobility or quality of life, regenerative treatment may be worth exploring before proceeding with more invasive treatment such as spinal fusion.

For appropriately selected patients with certain lumbar facet or disc-related conditions, these procedures may offer a non-surgical treatment option. 

When a lumbar spine procedure is recommended, fluoroscopic or advanced 3D image guidance is used to precisely visualize the treatment area and guide placement.

Could This Be an Option Before Back Surgery? Let’s Talk.

 Schedule a consultation to discuss your low back pain, review your imaging and prior treatments, and

learn whether an image-guided regenerative treatment may be appropriate for you.

No pressure—just a clear discussion of your options.
