Thank you for your honesty. This video has really helped me understand degenerative disc disease better. My father is suffering from degenerative disc disease, he has had multiple surgeries on his lumbar spine without any improvement. I am hoping and praying that someday he will no longer have chronic pain. In the future I hope that there will someday be a way to possibly grow intervertebral disc from stem cells either inside or outside the body for patients like my father.
Thanks. I spoke too soon 🔜 to a client. I thought by the title stem cell actually regenerates the break down of disc:/ Thank you for the information. I had a good older friend who got stem cell in his spine and he shared healthy tissue was growing back
Thanks, Dr. Downer. I asked my surgeon about options for cervical surgery and his focus is ACDF. I appreciate this information on stem cell therapy. It totally makes sense that it's still early and it depends on the patients disease progression. Thank you
I’m hopeful that you and others are looking into stem cells. Thank you. Is anecdotal evidence, evidence? Granted it doesn’t meet western standards. If you were in pain and your quality of life was compromised, would you try stem cells? I did and will again because of the people I’ve spoken with personally who have had their lives saved by msc’s.
Interesting video, and some good insights and viewpoints (at least on one angle) However this doctor seems sort of "negative" and conflicted (going back and forth) between saying "It'll eventually be great" but no evidence etc.? Probably being cautionary to say anything so as not to get in "trouble" with the powers that be, or other doctors performing "conventional" surgeries! Plenty of evidence exists (with "real people") and not doctored studies (no pun intended) that already have "pre-determined" outcomes funded by big pharma, etc. Its sad the USA - is not on the cutting edge as it should be (as people are clamoring for solutions). Sayings its "still early" when its been around for decades outside the united states (its sorta funny). My friend just got stem cell injections and has seen "immediate" relief in his pain in his back after trying everything for 15 years! but nothing worked! (How is that for evidence, lol). I think this doctor "wants to believe" (says it may be the way) yet backtracks and then says - but no evidence? (Why is there no evidence, no studies).... ? Real People want Real solutions (not available here in the USA) Why? Because little progress, negative attitudes and big pharma, doctors trained in the "opposite" (fusion, pills, etc) vs trying to look to something better towards the future. Last Statement: The "Patients" should lead the way toward something better (not doctors wanting to "own" medicine" and progress) like they created it. No offense to this doctor - but the video is mostly focused on "Hypothetical Cons" and not so much to positives that "thousands" of REAL PEOPLE have experienced vs Doctored trials! Remember, the Solutions of Today and Tomorrow, won't be solved with the attitudes, pills of the past. Okay food for thought :)

Did you read the most recent VAST study for VIA Disk? Similar and very compelling data.
What an interesting video… and essentislly breaksdown the missing links in regenerative medicine for Spinal discs. Thanks for the video

Don't fuse. Disc replacement with lp-esp or cp-esp in Germany is the best $ can buy currently
@@brians2328What is the cost for one level? Where should I do this disc replacement in Germany?
@@peny1981 around 30k.. Schmitz, Clinic Bel Etage
Did you hear that there are inflammatory factors that are in the disc? How do you think they go there? If there are no blood
There are real athletes- ufc who were treated in south america.
These doctors are losing their relevance hence this subject.

Fixing the issue is the only way to take the pain away their is a mechanical problem that’s why their is pain

You are basing it on theory not the actual stem cell injection test, you are another money driven doctor
