When back pain, neck pain, or disc issues start interfering with daily life, many patients begin searching for alternatives to surgery or long-term medication use. At iSCORE (Interventional Spine Care and Orthopedic Regenerative Experts), we offer Regenexx protocols as part of our comprehensive approach to non-surgical spine care.

These protocols use your body’s own biologic material—processed and precisely re-injected using advanced image guidance—to support orthopedic function and address certain spine-related conditions. Here’s what that means for patients dealing with disc or spinal issues.

What Are Regenexx Protocols?

Regenexx is a proprietary platform of procedures that utilize components such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow concentrate, derived from your own body. These substances are processed in-office and carefully injected into the affected area using ultrasound or fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance.

Rather than being described as “stem cell therapy” or a “cure,” Regenexx protocols are designed to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms by delivering concentrated biologics to specific sites of discomfort or degeneration.

Spine and Disc Conditions Where Regenexx May Be Considered

Regenexx protocols at iSCORE may be discussed as part of a treatment plan for conditions such as:

Herniated or bulging discs

Degenerative disc disease

Facet joint irritation

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

Chronic low back pain

Neck pain related to disc or joint issues

Each patient is carefully evaluated through physical examination, history, and diagnostic imaging to determine whether a Regenexx procedure is appropriate.

Image-Guided Precision: Why It Matters

One key advantage of Regenexx protocols is the use of real-time imaging during injections, which allows for highly accurate placement of the biologic material. This targeting ensures that the procedure supports the specific structures involved—whether that’s a facet joint, disc region, or ligament around the spine.

Image guidance not only improves procedural accuracy but also enhances patient safety and overall treatment quality.

A Personalized Path Forward

At iSCORE, we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. For patients with spine and disc conditions, treatment plans may include Regenexx alongside other therapies such as:

Physical therapy

Diagnostic testing and guided nerve blocks

Non-opioid pain management strategies

Functional rehabilitation

Some patients pursue Regenexx protocols to potentially avoid or delay surgery, while others use them as part of a broader recovery strategy. The decision is always based on your unique clinical needs and goals.
