BACK PAIN
If the cause of the back pain has an inflammatory component, ACS therapy can be a good and well-tolerated alternative.
CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
If specific causes such as facet joint arthrosis or other indications with an inflammatory component are actually proven for the back pain,
invasive procedures such as injecting anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs near the spine can make sense.
NATURAL PAIN RELIEF
It is assumed that various cytokines, such as IL-1 Ra or IL-10, have an inflammation-solving influence on certain aseptic (= not germ-triggered) inflammatory processes. [1] This is where autologous cell therapy “Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS)” comes in. In the production of autologous conditioned serum (ACS), the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines is stimulated and the serum is also enriched with growth factors. [2] This “conditioned” serum from the patient’s blood is injected into the affected joints or, for example, also into mechanically compressed spinal roots, where it can exert a corresponding positive effect. The body’s own protective proteins can have an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and cartilage-protective effect. [3]
WELL TOLERATED ALTERNATIVE
Especially in patients with back pain who do not tolerate cortisone well or want to avoid side effects,
ACS therapy can be a good alternative treatment option to resolve inflammation and relieve pain.
