At Hawaii Wellness Clinic, we offer biologic therapy as a non-surgical option for people living with discogenic pain. This advanced treatment uses targeted regenerative injections to help calm inflammation, improve tissue health, and restore mobility so you can get back to the activities you enjoy.
What Is Discogenic Pain?
Discogenic pain refers to pain that originates from a damaged intervertebral disc in the spine. These discs act as cushions between vertebrae, and when they degenerate or develop tears, they can cause persistent lower back or neck pain.
Common causes include age-related wear, injury, repetitive strain, and disc dehydration over time.
What Is Biologics Therapy for Discogenic Pain?
Biologics therapy uses cell-derived, growth factor-rich treatments that are injected into or near the damaged disc. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, reduce inflammation, and support healthier disc function.
Our biologics are ethically sourced from FDA-registered facilities and delivered under strict clinical protocols for safety and precision.
Who It’s For
Biologics for discogenic pain may be appropriate for patients who:
- Have chronic low back or neck pain confirmed to be disc-related
- Experience pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or twisting
- Have degenerative disc disease or disc tears
- Have not found lasting relief from medications, physical therapy, or injections
- Want to avoid or delay spinal surgery
How the Treatment Works
- Evaluation: We confirm discogenic pain through a review of your history, imaging, and symptoms.
- Preparation: The biologic solution is prepared from FDA-registered sources.
- Injection: The biologic is injected into or near the affected disc under sterile, image-guided conditions.
- Healing Response: The biologics deliver anti-inflammatory and regenerative signals to help reduce pain and support disc health.
Treatment plans are individualized. Some patients benefit from a single injection, while others may require a short series.
What to Expect
- Session length: 45 to 60 minutes
- Comfort: Most patients experience mild pressure or soreness during and after the injection
- Downtime: Light activity is possible the same day; avoid heavy lifting for several days
- Follow-up: Your provider will schedule progress checks and recommend any supportive care
