SPINAL CANAL STENOSIS Spinal canal stenosis
Spinal stenosis that cannot be cured no matter what you do
Have you given up, thinking, "It might stay like this forever?"
Conventional treatments focus on symptomatic treatment with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, these treatments have limitations:
- Taking medicines doesn't really improve the condition
- Recurring symptoms
- Concerns about side effects from long-term use
It is for people like this that we want them to know about the true cause of chronic inflammation and new options available through regenerative medicine.
Do you have any concerns?
issues like these?
- I've been to many different hospitals but nothing has worked.
- I've had lots of injections and oral medications but the pain won't go away.
- I have been to chiropractic and osteopathic clinics, but the problem has not been solved
- I've been told it's just because of my age, and I'm starting to give up on the idea that it can ever be cured.
- I was recommended surgery, but I'm scared of what will happen if it fails.
If any of these apply to you, please feel free to contact us.
Spinal stenosis is not just back pain.
It's a disease that takes away your freedom to walk, but there's no need to give up.
Why can people ride bicycles but not walk? We will unravel this mystery.
The most notable feature of spinal stenosis is the change in symptoms depending on posture.
- Leaning forward widens the spinal canal, relieving pressure on the nerves.
- When you straighten your spine, the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on the nerves.
This is why people can ride a bicycle (leaning forward) but have difficulty walking (standing upright).
Symptom changes due to posture in spinal stenosis
Slouching posture(It becomes easier)
Reduces pressure on nerves
Upright posture(It gets tough)
Increased pressure on the nerve
Three types of spinal stenosis and our approach
Spinal stenosis is divided into three main types, each of which requires different treatment.
However, if urinary problems or motor paralysis progress rapidly, emergency surgery may be necessary. Even with surgery, symptoms may not improve completely because the nerves themselves are not directly treated. In such cases, further improvement may be achieved by combining stem cell therapy after surgery.
Three types of spinal stenosis and our treatment methods
1cauda equina
There is a risk of numbness and weakness in both legs, and problems with urination and defecation.
Our hospital's response
Focusing on inflammation around the cauda equina
improve.
If urinary and bowel problems are progressing, surgery should be considered first.
2Nerve root type
It is characterized by pain and numbness in one leg, and pins and needles, indicating that a specific nerve is compressed.
Our hospital's response
Pinpoint the pressure point
I will treat it.
3Hybrid
This is a combination of both symptoms and is considered the most difficult to treat.
Our hospital's response
A step-by-step approach to both conditions
We will respond.
Indications for stem cell therapy
Other treatments, such as surgery, should be preferred in the following cases:
- Rapidly progressive motor paralysis
- Severe urinary and bowel problems
- Other severe cases that do not improve with conservative treatment
At our hospital, orthopedic specialists will accurately evaluate the patient's condition and appropriately determine whether stem cell therapy is appropriate or whether other treatments should be prioritized.
Why does recurrence occur even after surgery?
Traditional surgery involves physically widening the narrowed spinal canal.
However, even if the pressure is relieved by surgery, symptoms may persist if nerve damage remains or inflammation cannot be resolved.In addition, new causes of symptoms may arise above and below the surgical site.
Our clinic aims to improve the condition of the nerves and achieve lasting relief of symptoms by fundamentally addressing this chronic inflammation around the nerves.
Why spinal stenosis becomes chronic
The fundamental cause of chronic pain due to spinal stenosis is "chronic inflammation."
Spinal stenosis can occur in various parts of the body, including lumbar spinal canal stenosis, cervical spinal canal stenosis, and thoracic spinal canal stenosis, but what all of these have in common is a bodily reaction called "inflammation."
In a healthy body, when pain occurs in the lower back, the body naturally repairs itself through the following process:
The repair process from the onset of spinal stenosis to the relief of pain
-
Inflammation occurs(Indicate the damaged area)
-
Stops bleeding(Platelets seal the wound)
-
Macrophages
Broken cells and bacteria
Clean up
-
Macrophages
From cleaning to repairing
Switch to a helping role
-
This is importantStem cells
Create a new organization(Stem cells gather from various places)
-
Cells cooperate with each other(Information exchange through exosomes)
-
Completely healed(Tissue regeneration completed)
However, if chronic inflammation continues, this repair process stops at the fourth stage.
At this time, macrophages, immune cells in the body, become important.
Macrophages typically perform the following functions:
The two roles of macrophages
Cleaner
Removes bacteria and broken cells from inflamed areas
Restoration Support
Promotes tissue repair and supports stem cell mobilization
This "switching" of roles is key to the body's ability to heal properly.
However, when chronic inflammation persists, macrophages remain in their cleaning role and do not switch over to assist in repair, which results in stem cells (cells that regenerate tissue) not functioning properly and preventing the tissue around the nerve from repairing.
This is the real cause of "spinal stenosis that cannot be cured no matter what you do."
Conventional treatments (painkillers, compresses, injections, etc.) do not address the underlying cause of chronic inflammation, so even if they temporarily relieve pain, the same symptoms will recur.
Spinal stenosis that cannot be cured no matter what you do
A new treatment option called "Cell Revival®"
The body is naturally equipped with an amazing recovery mechanism, but as chronic inflammation progresses due to various external factors such as aging and lifestyle habits, this mechanism weakens.
Cell Revival® is a treatment method unique to our hospital that combines three regenerative medical therapies. By gradually combining macrophage therapy, stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, and iPS exosome therapy, we maximize the therapeutic effect.
First, we accurately assess the body's condition and create a repair environment within the body before beginning stem cell therapy. This fundamental approach maximizes the body's innate ability to recover.
PHASES
Visualizing chronic inflammation
- Inflammation levels are quantified using inflammatory marker tests (high-sensitivity CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα)
- EpiClock test measures the effects of inflammation on cells
- Developing a treatment plan based on objective data

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
-
I have intermittent claudication due to spinal canal stenosis. Will regenerative medicine improve my walking distance?
Intermittent claudication (leg pain when walking that improves with rest) is a typical symptom of spinal stenosis. Cell Revival® has shown an improvement in walking distance in many patients. Mechanism of improvement: - Improves chronic inflammation around the nerve - Improves blood flow and increases oxygen supply to the nerve - Promotes the repair of damaged nerve tissue Actual improvement examples: - Limit to walking 100m → Ability to walk over 500m - Ability to go shopping without a break - Ability to resume leisurely walking Although results vary from person to person, many patients experience an improvement in their walking ability within 3-6 months.
-
Surgery has been recommended, but is there any chance of improvement without surgery?
The appropriateness of surgery for spinal stenosis depends on the severity of the symptoms. Cell Revival® is a new option for those considering surgery. Cases where surgery is necessary: - Rapidly progressing motor paralysis - Severe urinary and bowel problems - Severe cases that do not improve at all with conservative treatment Cases where regenerative medicine is appropriate: - Mild to moderate symptoms - Those who want to avoid the risks of surgery - Those whose symptoms remain after surgery At our hospital, orthopedic specialists will make the appropriate judgment and, if necessary, will advise you to prioritize surgery.
-
I have been diagnosed with cauda equina. I do not have any urinary problems, but is it possible to treat it?
Even in the cauda equina type, Cell Revival® is a good candidate if the patient is at the stage where urinary problems are not present. Treatment approach for cauda equina type: - Focused improvement of inflammation around the cauda equina nerves - Prevention of secondary damage due to nerve compression - Suppression of symptom progression Points to note: - Seek medical advice promptly if urinary problems appear - Regular neurological evaluations are important - Close monitoring of changes in symptoms Early treatment increases the chances of preventing the progression of symptoms and maintaining quality of life.
-
I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis for five years. Will it be effective even if I have had symptoms for a long time?
Even with long-term spinal stenosis, improvement can be expected with Cell Revival®. Effects on long-term symptoms: - Resets the chronic inflammatory environment - Repairs nerves damaged by years of compression - Recovers surrounding tissues that have become fatigued as a compensation Key points for improvement: - It is important to first improve the inflammatory environment - Neuroplasticity (resilience) exists regardless of age - Symptoms that you had given up on are more likely to improve There are many cases of improvement even in cases where symptoms have persisted for 5 or 10 years or more. First, we start by accurately assessing your current condition.
-
I have stenosis in both the cervical and lumbar spine. Can they be treated at the same time?
Spinal stenosis in multiple areas can also be treated simultaneously with Cell Revival®. Multi-area treatment method: - Effective in multiple areas by improving inflammation throughout the body - Prioritize areas with severe symptoms - Combine with local treatment as needed Advantages of treatment: - Potential improvement in multiple areas with a single treatment - Improves inflammatory tendencies throughout the body - Shortens total treatment time In fact, those with symptoms in multiple areas tend to be more likely to experience the effects of Cell Revival®, a systemic approach.
