A member asked:
3 degenerative discs in lumber. one nearly bone on bone. very healthy active 55 yr old looking at stem cell therapy. any insight?, what is my chance of having it work and for how long?

State of the art: We receive frequent inquiries about stem cells, but the research is not convincing or productive at this point. In your case, we now have artificial disks, and platelet rich injections available, besides a series of nerve blocks, especially medial branch blocks, but I cannot advise what is best for you. A neurosurgeon can help guide this.
