Show Notes

In this episode, our host Dr. Trevor Turner, RMSK interviews Dr. Sairam Atluri (https://www.stemcures.com/dr-sairam-atluri-pain-management-doctor), an Interventional Pain doctor proving that Stem Cell Therapy works in Discs in the Low Back by completing the first prospective clinical trial for chronic low back pain. https://www.facebook.com/stemcures

In this episode, we discuss key concepts such as: how effective are these injections? Are they safe? How common are complications like discitis, and how serious are they? How is this changing the way spinal pain is treated compared to traditional treatments like therapy, medicines, steroid injections, and surgery? How long do the results last?
