How do stem cells treat spinal osteoarthritis?

MSCs reduce inflammation in degenerative spinal joints, promote cartilage repair in facet joints, and alleviate chronic back pain. This regenerative approach addresses the disease mechanism rather than just masking symptoms.

Can stem cell therapy prevent spinal surgery?

For many patients with spinal osteoarthritis, MSC therapy can reduce pain and improve function enough to avoid or delay spinal surgery. It is particularly effective for moderate disease that hasn't responded to conservative treatments.

What areas of the spine can be treated?

We treat osteoarthritis affecting the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) spine. Treatment protocols are tailored based on the affected levels and severity of degeneration.

Spinal Osteoarthritis Stem Cell Therapy in Istanbul, Turkey

Stem cell therapy for spinal osteoarthritis. MSC treatments target spinal joint degeneration, relieve chronic back pain, and restore spinal mobility.

About Spinal Osteoarthritis Stem Cell Therapy in Istanbul

Stem cell therapy for spinal osteoarthritis at StemCell Longevita in Istanbul targets the degenerating spinal joints, reducing chronic back pain and restoring spinal mobility. Our MSC treatments promote cartilage regeneration within facet and intervertebral joints without surgical intervention.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works for This Condition

Spinal osteoarthritis involves degeneration of facet joint cartilage and intervertebral disc tissue, causing chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. MSCs regenerate spinal joint cartilage, reduce inflammatory mediators in degenerated joints, and support repair of adjacent disc tissue. The combined effect addresses multiple sources of spinal pain simultaneously.

Who Is a Candidate?

Patients with cervical or lumbar spondylosis, facet joint osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis related to degenerative changes, and chronic back pain from spinal degeneration. Beneficial for patients seeking to avoid spinal surgery or reduce dependence on pain medication.

Treatment Process at StemCell Longevita

After spine MRI review, treatment involves systemic IV MSC infusion combined with image-guided injection to specific spinal joints. The targeted approach allows delivery to the most affected spinal segments.

Expected Results & Recovery

Reduced back pain, improved spinal mobility, and decreased stiffness within 2-4 months. Many patients reduce or eliminate pain medication use. Structural improvements may be visible on follow-up imaging at 6-12 months.

Why Choose Turkey for Treatment?

Istanbul's spine specialists provide precise image-guided treatment at 60-80% lower cost than Western spinal procedures.

Cost of Treatment

Spinal osteoarthritis stem cell therapy from €7,000, including spine imaging, guided MSC delivery, hotel, transfers, and follow-up.
