Lower Back Epidural with Fresh UC-MSCs + PRP
A Precision Regenerative Procedure for Lasting Relief
What Is a Lower Back Epidural with MSCs and PRP?
A lower back epidural with fresh, never-frozen umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a highly targeted regenerative procedure designed to reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and help repair damaged spinal tissues. By placing these powerful healing elements directly into the epidural space—the area surrounding the spinal nerves—the treatment provides the most direct opportunity for healing where pain originates.
Why This Procedure Is Effective
Direct Delivery
MSCs and PRP are delivered directly to the epidural space where nerve inflammation occurs.
Fresh UC-MSCs
Fresh umbilical cord–derived MSCs support disc, ligament, and nerve repair.
PRP Accelerator
PRP increases growth factors, enhancing MSC survival and speeding recovery.
Inflammation Reduction
MSCs reduce inflammatory cytokines and calm chronic nerve irritation.
What Conditions It May Help
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic lower back pain
- Lumbar radiculopathy / sciatica
- Facet joint inflammation
- Post-surgical pain
- Spinal stenosis (mild–moderate)
What to Expect During the Procedure
All treatments are performed by a trained regenerative medicine specialist under live imaging for precision.
- 1
Comfort Positioning
You’ll lie comfortably while the lower back is sterilized and numbed.
- 2
PRP Preparation
A small blood draw is taken and spun to isolate your PRP.
- 3
Precise Epidural Placement
Using ultrasound, the doctor gently places a fine needle into the epidural space.
- 4
Infusion of MSCs + PRP
Fresh MSCs are combined with PRP and slowly delivered into the targeted area surrounding the affected nerves.
- 5
Observation & Recovery
You’ll relax briefly afterward before being released to go about your day with light activity.
Benefits Patients Commonly Report
- Reduced lower back pain and nerve irritation
- Less radiating leg pain / sciatica
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Lower inflammation in the lumbar region
- Enhanced long-term healing and tissue repair
- Avoidance or delay of invasive spinal surgery
Recovery Expectations
- Same-day mobility: Most patients walk out comfortably after the procedure.
- Mild soreness: Temporary soreness or pressure in the back may occur for 24–48 hours.
- Healing timeline:
- Some feel relief within days to weeks,
- deeper regenerative improvements may continue for 3–6 months as cells integrate and repair tissue.
- Activity: Light activity is fine the same day; avoid heavy lifting for several days.
