Stem Cell Therapy for Neck Pain
Stem Cell Therapy for Neck Pain
Are you experiencing neck pain? It’s actually more common than you think.
Neck pain was ranked as the fourth most common disability out of 291 measured conditions in a Global Burden of Health study. Another research study revealed that on average, 10 to 20% of the population suffers from neck pain and related complications.
With neck pain making life a lot more difficult than it has to be, it’s likely that you’re looking into possible treatment options to finally get some relief. Depending on how serious your case is, and how long you have been suffering from symptoms, your doctor may recommend some invasive treatment options including very heavy medication or risky surgeries.
If you’re looking for an alternative treatment option for your neck discomfort — that is both minimally invasive yet still effective — stem cell therapy is a potential option.

What Causes Neck Pain?
Before you can explore possible treatment options for your neck pain, you need to first understand what caused it in the first place. Neck pain can be caused by underlying health conditions that affect your tissues, bones, joints, and muscles in the neck area.
According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, you may suffer from neck pain due to:
- Older age
- Neck injuries such as whiplash
- Poor posture
- Arthritis
- Herniated discs
If your neck pain is accompanied by stiffness, headaches, fever, dizziness, or accompanying pain in your shoulder, arm, or face, then you should make sure you see a doctor as soon as possible. A doctor can give you a full medical check-up and take proper medical action if there is any serious health condition contributing to your neck pain.

Conventional Treatments for Neck Pain
In most cases, your neck pain will not be life-threatening and will get better over time through basic non-invasive treatments. However, if your pain is chronic and does not respond to over-the-counter medication, your doctor will likely prescribe you more serious treatments.
You may be asked to wear a cervical collar to provide support to your spine.You may also be given corticosteroid injections or epidural steroids at the site of injury to gain temporary relief. When medication does not work, your doctor may perform a spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement to reduce your neck pain. However, these surgeries are very invasive and should only be undertaken as a last resort because of the chance of failure, and potential side effects they come with.
The good news is that GIOSTAR Chicago offers a wide range of regenerative therapies — such as stem cell therapy — that can get to the root cause of your neck pain and help you recover without you having to resort to surgery.
Stem Cell Therapy for Neck Pain
Stem cells are potent in their ability to heal your body and help you recover from a variety of health complications. Stem cell therapy is beneficial when it comes to treating neck pain in particular.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, stem cell therapy has shown the ability to repair degenerative discs through the increased production of proteoglycans and collagen. Stem cells also facilitate cell production and differentiation in the spinal canal, helping reduce both neck and back pain.
