Heal Your Disc, End Your Pain: How Regenerative Medicine Can Save Your Spine

When you live with back pain, you live with equally unbearable side effects. Anxiety. Depression. Fatigue. Hopelessness. You’re fighting a daily battle impossible to articulate and difficult to see.

The list of remedies has been short, unappealing, and ineffective. So you’ve accepted pain. You’ve settled for it because you’ve had to. But you don’t have to anymore.

"As a professional ballerina, the condition and health of my spine is extremely vital to what I do. As scary as my degenerative disc diagnosis initially sounded, I knew Dr. Lutz was the best in his field and could offer me a treatment solution that would get me back on the stage and pain free. I received the intradiscal PRP treatment and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was able to return to my vigorous physical schedule and haven't had any pain or discomfort since."
- Misty Copeland, first African American Female Principal Dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre

 
"Dr Gregory Lutz is at the forefront of regenerative medicine. His experience at Mayo Clinic and his leadership role as Physiatrist-in-Chief at Hospital for Special Surgery provide him with unique insights in this field. As someone who suffered from acute lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease, I can attest to the success of the procedures discussed in this book. Travel, exercise and, even golf are pleasurable again thanks to Dr. Lutz and the Regenerative SportsCare Institute."
- Peter K. Scaturro, retired partner at Goldman Sachs, former CEO of US Trust Company, and former CEO of the Citigroup Global Private Bank

 
"As a patient and friend of Dr. Lutz whose treatments and advice over the years have helped me, I am pleased to support his research into therapies that will make an impact on a condition that creates so much pain and disability for so many."
- Thomas Kempner, President of the Thomas L. Kempner Jr. Foundation

 
"The field of regenerative medicine is still in its early stages, and Dr Lutz is leading the way in clinical applications for soft tissue repair and joint preservation." 
- Michael Vranos, CEO of Ellington Management Group

 
"The development of PRP therapy for lower back pain has dramatically impacted my ability to work and exercise with extremely low levels of discomfort. Without PRP, I was having very significant pain and on my way to having a fusion procedure with uncertain outcomes, lots of risk, and a long recovery. By choosing PRP with Dr. Greg Lutz, I've avoided major surgery and have a terrific quality of life."
