Back Pain & Sciatica
Back pain can develop from a variety of problems involving the spine, joints, discs, muscles, and surrounding tissues.
Sciatica refers to symptoms associated with irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often causing pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and leg. Because similar symptoms can have different underlying causes, identifying the source of the pain is an important part of determining an appropriate treatment approach.

A Targeted Approach to Back Pain & Sciatica
Effective treatment begins with understanding where the pain is coming from and which structures may be contributing to the symptoms.
At LifeStem, evaluation is used to identify the underlying source of pain before determining whether a regenerative or non-surgical treatment may be appropriate. The recommended approach can vary depending on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and individual patient needs.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma uses a concentrated preparation of the patient's own platelets and may be considered for certain musculoskeletal structures contributing to back pain.
BMAC Therapy
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate uses components obtained from the patient's own bone marrow and may be considered for select orthopedic and degenerative conditions.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy may be considered when ligaments, tendons, or joint stability are contributing to musculoskeletal pain and impaired function.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Because back pain and sciatica can have many different causes, treatment recommendations are based on the structures involved, clinical findings, and the patient's individual goals.
