Osteochondrosis Treatment

Osteochondrosis (degenerative disc disease, DDD) is a complex of dystrophic changes in intervertebral discs, in which the disc loses moisture, elasticity, and height, leading to instability of the spinal segment, pain syndrome, and neurological disorders.

This is the most common spine disorder. According to various data, degenerative disc changes are found in 40% of people by age 30 and in 90% by age 50-55. Osteochondrosis is the primary cause of herniated discs, protrusions, and spinal stenosis.

Spinal regions:

• Cervical osteochondrosis (C3-C7) — headaches, dizziness, neck and arm pain
• Thoracic osteochondrosis (Th1-Th12) — intercostal neuralgia, chest pain
• Lumbar osteochondrosis (L1-S1) — low back pain, sciatica, leg pain

Stages of disc degeneration:

• Dehydration — loss of moisture in the nucleus pulposus, reduction in disc height
• Instability — weakening of the annulus fibrosus, pathological mobility
• Protrusion/herniation — bulging or extrusion of disc contents
• Fibrosis — replacement of disc tissues with scar tissue, ankylosis

Osteochondrosis is the only disease in which the damaged organ (disc) lacks blood supply. This is why pills, intramuscular injections, and even intravenous drugs do not reach the disc. MIBRAR® solves this problem directly — regenerative concentrates are injected directly into the disc.

What Happens Inside the Disc After MIBRAR®:

1. Mesenchymal stem cells (Lipogems®) differentiate into chondrocyte-like cells — the main "builders" of the disc's cartilage tissue
2. Growth factors (CGF) stimulate the production of proteoglycans and type II collagen — the main components of the disc matrix
3. Rehydration — restoration of the nucleus pulposus's ability to retain water, which increases disc height
4. Strengthening of the annulus fibrosus — healing of micro-cracks, prevention of herniations
5. Anti-inflammatory effect — reduction of chronic inflammation that accelerates degeneration

Key advantage: MIBRAR® is the only method that targets the cause of osteochondrosis (disc degeneration), not its consequences (pain, herniations, stenosis). At the same time, all damaged discs — from the cervical to the lumbar spine — can be treated in one procedure.
