Two physicians from NeoSpine recently performed an innovative stem cell injection procedure on a patient’s spine to treat back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, the first one in the state of Washington. Dr. Richard Rooney and Dr. Kathy Wang, performed the successful pioneering procedure at Microsurgical Spine Center, the Northwest’s leading ambulatory surgery center located just outside of Seattle, Washington. At the forefront of medicine, stem cells use the body’s own healthy cells with the goal to regenerate to repair diseased spinal tissue.
“With stem cell treatment, bone marrow is extracted from the patient’s pelvis bone and is centrifuged to separate the stem cells from the other bone marrow components. The advanced separation and concentration process was developed by our partner, Celling Biosciences,” explained Dr. Rooney. “The extracted stem cells are injected directly into the patient’s affected discs, and the procedure is image guided for complete accuracy.”

Neuroscientist Susan Harkema at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, used electrical stimulation to “awaken” the man’s lower spinal cord, and on the first day of the experiments he stood up, able to support all of his weight with just some minor assistance to stay balanced. The stimulation also enabled the subject, 23-year-old Rob Summers , to voluntarily move his legs in other ways. Later, he regained some control of his bladder, bowel, and sexual functions, even when the electrodes were turned off. The breakthrough , published in The Lancet , shocked doctors who had previously tried electrically stimulating the spinal nerves of experimental animals and people with spinal-co...
