Back Pain
Find relief from back pain without surgery — a physician-led, regenerative approach designed to reduce pain and help you move more comfortably again.
Living with back pain that won’t let up
Chronic back pain has a way of narrowing everything. The morning stiffness that slows you down, the ache that builds through a workday at a desk, the sharp catch when you bend to tie your shoes, the restless nights when you can’t find a comfortable position — over time it wears on your energy, your mood and the activities you love. For many people, the options they’re offered feel like extremes: mask it with medication or commit to spinal surgery and a long recovery.
There’s a middle path worth understanding first.
A non-surgical, regenerative approach to back pain
Some back pain is related to worn or inflamed spinal joints and the soft tissue around them. For those sources, our physician-led regenerative options are designed to reduce pain and support your body’s natural repair — without surgery.
Rather than replacing or fusing anything, this approach works with the structures you already have. Our stem cell joint regeneration and PRP joint treatment use your body’s own regenerative components, delivered in-office, with the goal of calming pain and improving how comfortably you move. Because back pain has many possible causes, an honest evaluation comes first — regenerative medicine isn’t right for every kind of back pain, and the physician will tell you if it isn’t right for yours. We also help patients with related neck pain and shoulder pain.

What to expect
Every plan begins with a physician evaluation to understand the source of your back pain, review your history and imaging, and confirm whether you’re a candidate. If a regenerative approach is appropriate, it’s performed in-office, and the physician will give you clear, realistic expectations for your specific situation. Results vary, and suitability is always determined individually.

Frequently asked questions
Can regenerative medicine help my back pain?
It may help for certain sources of back pain, particularly pain related to worn or inflamed spinal joints and soft tissue. Regenerative approaches are designed to reduce pain and support your body's natural repair. Whether it's appropriate for your specific back pain is something the physician determines during your evaluation, since back pain has many possible causes.
Is this surgery?
No. The regenerative options we offer are non-surgical and performed in-office. They're intended for people who want to reduce back pain and improve mobility without the risks, cost and recovery time of spinal surgery.
What causes chronic back pain?
Back pain can stem from joint degeneration, disc issues, injury, muscle strain or posture-related stress. Because the causes vary so widely, an accurate evaluation matters — the physician reviews your history and imaging to understand what's driving your pain before recommending anything.
Am I a candidate for regenerative treatment?
That's exactly what your consultation is for. Dr. Cimikoski evaluates the source of your back pain, your health history and your goals, then tells you honestly whether a regenerative approach is a good fit — and if it isn't, he'll say so.
Will it cure my back pain?
We don't make cure or guarantee claims. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how comfortably you move. Many patients seek regenerative options to feel and function better, but results vary from person to person, which is why the physician sets realistic expectations for your situation.
