Back Pain & Herniated Disc Treatment Without Surgery in Marbella

Muscle Strain & Ligament Sprain

Soft Tissue Injury

Acute or chronic overloading of the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. Poor posture, heavy lifting and sudden movements are frequent triggers. Regenerative treatments can support tissue repair and reduce the chronic inflammation that prevents full recovery, particularly in cases where pain has persisted beyond the expected healing window.

Muscle Inflammation

Neck & Upper Back Pain

Inflammation of the muscles in the neck and upper back causes stiffness, soreness and restricted movement — often resulting from poor posture, prolonged screen use, stress or sudden strain. PRP therapy and cell-free signalling therapy can help modulate the inflammatory process and support soft tissue recovery in the cervical and thoracic spine.

Lower Back Pain

Lumbar Pain

Persistent pain in the lumbar region can stem from muscle fatigue, facet joint irritation, disc degeneration or chronic inflammation. It is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal complaints globally and is often aggravated by prolonged sitting, bending or physical inactivity. Orthobiologic treatments target the underlying inflammatory and degenerative processes rather than simply masking pain.

Herniated Disc

Slipped or Prolapsed Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness or weakness — often radiating into the legs or arms depending on the level affected. Surgery is frequently suggested for persistent disc herniation, but many patients achieve significant relief through non-surgical regenerative treatment.

PRP therapy and cell-free signalling therapy can help reduce the inflammatory response around the affected disc and support the body's natural healing processes, offering a viable non-surgical pathway for appropriate candidates.

Sciatica

Radiating Leg Pain from Lumbar Spine

Sciatica describes pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the hip and down one or both legs. It is most commonly caused by a herniated disc or bone spur compressing the nerve root in the lumbar spine. Symptoms range from a mild ache to sharp, burning or electric-shock pain, sometimes accompanied by numbness or weakness in the leg.

Regenerative treatments at CellOrtho aim to address the underlying disc or joint pathology driving sciatica, rather than simply managing the nerve pain itself. For appropriate candidates, this can reduce symptoms significantly and avoid the need for spinal surgery.

Facet Joint Syndrome

Degenerative Facet Joint Disease

The facet joints connect the vertebrae of the spine and can become inflamed or degenerated through wear-and-tear, injury or poor posture. Facet joint syndrome causes localised back pain that often worsens with extension or rotation movements and may refer pain into the buttocks or thighs. PRP therapy administered to the affected facet joints can significantly reduce inflammation and pain, often providing longer-lasting relief than cortisone injections.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Pelvic & Lower Back Joint Inflammation

The sacroiliac joints connect the spine to the pelvis and can become inflamed or unstable through injury, pregnancy, leg length discrepancy or degeneration. SI joint dysfunction causes pain in the lower back, buttocks and sometimes the upper leg — and is frequently misdiagnosed as lumbar disc disease. PRP therapy is an effective treatment for SI joint pain, delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the affected joint to reduce inflammation and support stabilisation.
