⚡ Quick Summary: Spine Care at ROSM
If you have been told you have a bad back and need surgery, here is the 30-second summary:
- What it is: High-precision treatments using your own healing cells, like PRP or BMAC, to repair discs, joints, and ligaments in your spine.
- The “Foundation” Analogy: Think of your spine like the main support beam of a house. If the surrounding ligaments are loose or the neighboring muscles are weak, the main beam starts to crack. We do not just patch the crack, we strengthen the entire foundation.
- The Truth About MRIs: An MRI is just a picture. It does not always tell the whole story. We look at how you move to find the true source of your pain.
- The Goal: To help you avoid hardware, fusions, and long hospital stays by helping your spine heal itself.
Beyond the MRI: A Systematic Approach
Many people come to us frustrated because their MRI shows a bulge or arthritis, but their treatments have not worked. At ROSM, we believe your MRI is not your destiny. We take a neighborhood approach to back and neck pain, looking at the ligaments that hold the bones together and the nerves that pass between them. By strengthening the structures around your spine, we take the pressure off the painful areas.
What Conditions Can Regenerative Spine Care Help?
- Disc Issues: Herniated discs, slipped discs, and sciatica.
- Arthritis: Pain in the facet joints or the sacroiliac joint.
- Nerve Pain: Numbness, tingling, or weakness traveling down the arms or legs.
- Structural Issues: Spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease.
Chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons patients come to ROSM, often after an MRI alone did not explain what they were feeling.
The ROSM Standard: Precision and Truth Tests
- The Diagnostic Map: We use high-definition ultrasound to see exactly which soft tissues are restricted or injured.
- The Truth Test: Before a major treatment, we may perform a diagnostic injection of numbing medicine. If your pain disappears for a few hours, we know we have found the source.
- Image-Guided Precision: Every treatment is performed using a live view, ultrasound or X-ray, to ensure the healing cells land with millimeter precision.
The Journey: What to Expect
- Step 1, The Deep Dive: A thorough exam where we look at your history, your imaging, and your movement.
- Step 2, The Assessment: We may use diagnostic injections to confirm exactly where the pain is coming from.
- Step 3, The Build: We perform your personalized regenerative treatment, such as PRP or BMAC, to strengthen the spinal environment.
- Step 4, The Recovery: Your recovery is a team effort. You will have a specific plan to gradually add stress back to the spine while re-balancing your muscles for long-term stability.
A note on cost: Regenerative spine treatments like PRP and BMAC are orthobiologic, and most insurance plans currently classify them as investigational, meaning they are usually paid for out of pocket. Diagnostic injections used to confirm the source of pain are often billed differently. HSA or FSA funds can typically be used to cover any out of pocket cost. The clearest way to know where you stand is a quick conversation with our team. Here is why insurance often works this way for regenerative treatments.
