BioSurgery Procedures Including Herniated Disc Surgery

Our BioSurgery procedures combine the latest surgical techniques with the use of natural stem cells, providing wonderful results that traditional herniated disk treatment plans and other surgical procedures could not easily achieve.

MEND

For those in need of herniated disc surgery or experiencing symptoms from sciatica or spinal stenosis, our Micro Endoscopic Nerve Decompression (MEND)* treatment is the most sought after procedure.

It can widely decompress almost any nerve and provide the ideal environment for healing. It is performed on an outpatient basis and most patients experience relief of nerve pain the day of surgery.

EASE

The Endoscopic Assisted Scar Excision (EASE) procedure is tailored for those experiencing leg symptoms after previous spine procedures including herniated disc surgery. 

This minimally invasive out-patient procedure uses LASER technology to release entangled nerves and provides a cell-based environment to reduce further inflammation and promote healing.

RegenaDISC

Our RegenaDISC procedure is ideal for those with persistent neck pain or back pain due to degenerative disc disease without compression of a nerve. The procedure is combined with LASER decompression to remove damaged tissue and provide fast relief. This is hte first stem cell tissue transplantation procedure in the United States and is only available at Celling Treatment Centers.

This procedure can be modified to address chronic back pain in children and adolescents so as to not harm the growing regions of the spine.

END

For those experiencing persistent leg or foot symptoms from a previously decompressed pinched nerve in the lower back, our Endoscopic Nerve Decompression (END) procedure may provide relief.

The END procedure can be used in several regions of the lumbar spine through a one port or two port technique to ensure that the nerve is thoroughly decompressed. It provides a direct view of the course of the nerve inside the spinal canal and as it exits.

After nerve decompression, the patient typically receives a cell-based therapy designed to promote healing and to minimize inflammation which may reduce recurrent scar formation.

Because two incisions are typically required some patients may require an overnight stay in the hospital.

CEASE

A technically more challenging version of our popular EASE procedure, the Cervical Endoscopic Assisted Scar Excision (CEASE) procedure is a wide microlaminoplasty for those with persistent symptoms between the shoulder blades or in the shoulder, arm or hand after previous herniated disc surgery.

These patients typically not only have an abundance of scar tissue that requires excision but they frequently also have residual bone spurs not removed during previous surgery. CELLING TREATMENT CENTERS has collaborated with two instrument manufacturers in the design of specialized instruments for removal of these hard to reach bone spurs without damaging the adjacent nerve.

This procedure is frequently combined with our DISC procedure to provide additional pain relief and typically does not require an overnight stay at the hospital.

MISS

The Minimally Invasive Spine Stabilization (MISS) procedure is by far the most innovative procedure we offer. It is typically reserved for those with significant instability of the spine. This procedure combines any number of minimally invasive techniques designed to provide stability to the spine and, if required, to re-open the passage for the exiting nerve.

Great care is taken to protect the overlying muscles. This reduces discomfort after surgery and prevents muscle atrophy and weakness. Small implants are always required and these patients typically will spend one night in the hospital,

This procedure can be modified to address spondylolysis in children and adolescents without the need for fusion.

BIOKNEE

For those with damage to the knee cartilage, the biologic knee repair (BIOKNEE) may offer relief and cartilage regeneration.

This out-patient procedure combines classic arthroscopic microfracture techniques with laser debridement and  stem cell augmentation to facilitate healing of the cartilage defect.

ACT

Our Arthralgia Cell Therapy (ACT) procedure is for those with painful joints (arthralgia) from athletics or arthritis. The patient's own stem cells are harvested and concentrated before being injected directly into the painful joint. The majority of patients require only a single application. It is performed in a sterile operating room to reduce the risk of infection.

This procedure provides the anti-inflammatory benefits of stem cells which also release growth factors that promote healing.

TLC

For those with chronic sprains or fascitis, our Tendon and Ligament Cell (TLC) therapy is a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy that may provide relief. Typically recommended for those with chronic pain from a tendon or ligament as opposed to herniated disk treatment, it is an innovative method to induce healing in areas of poor blood supply. The platelets are injected directly into the area of concern to promote healing.

COMBINE

The mechanisms of action of stem cells and platelets are not the same. Their indications may overlap and in that scenario we recommend a combination therapy to optimize the chance of healing.

Our combination therapy is typically recommended for difficult to manage injuries and is designed to be part of a comprehensive rehab program.

*  In cervical spine a microlaminoplasty is substituted for the laminotomy portion of the procedure.
