Regenerative Medicine for Nerve Damage Repair

Your nervous system is the body’s communication highway, connecting your brain and spinal cord to every muscle, joint, and organ. It controls movement, sensation, coordination, and even your body’s ability to heal. So when a nerve is damaged—whether from trauma, chronic inflammation, or age-related degeneration—the effects can be wide-ranging and life-altering.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we see how nerve damage impacts our patients every day. It’s more than discomfort—it’s a constant disruption of mobility, independence, and quality of life. That’s why we offer advanced regenerative medicine therapies to help the body repair and restore damaged nerve tissue—naturally and non-surgically.

This is where regenerative medicine comes in—a scientifically grounded, minimally invasive approach that uses your body’s own healing mechanisms to repair damaged nerve tissue at the cellular level.

Instead of masking the pain, we help your body heal itself—safely, naturally, and often without the need for invasive procedures.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a cutting-edge branch of medical science that focuses on stimulating the body’s own natural healing processes to repair or regenerate damaged tissues—including nerves. Rather than simply masking pain or managing symptoms, regenerative medicine is designed to restore function at the source by encouraging real, lasting repair on a cellular level.

The human body is incredibly capable of healing itself—especially when given the right tools. Regenerative medicine enhances that process by introducing healing cells and growth factors directly into the areas of injury or inflammation. Over time, this helps the body:

  • Regrow or repair damaged nerve tissue
  • Reduce chronic inflammation
  • Improve nerve function and signal transmission
  • Restore mobility and decrease pain

These therapies are minimally invasive, using materials drawn either from your own body or highly purified biological sources, and are performed in-office without general anesthesia or hospital stays.

How Regenerative Medicine Helps Heal Nerve Damage

Encourages Nerve Regeneration and Repair at the Cellular Level

At the core of regenerative medicine is cellular healing. Whether through Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Stem Cell Therapy, these treatments introduce growth factors and healing cells directly into damaged tissue. These elements signal the body to begin:

  • Regrowing damaged or deteriorated nerve fibers
  • Repairing cellular structures essential for nerve signal conduction
  • Supporting the reformation of the protective myelin sheath (which can degrade in chronic nerve conditions)

This regenerative response is essential for reversing nerve degeneration, especially in conditions like sciatica, neuropathy, or post-surgical nerve injury.

Reduces Inflammation That Can Compress or Irritate Nerves

Chronic inflammation is a common culprit behind persistent nerve pain. It can cause:

  • Swelling that compresses nearby nerves
  • Increased sensitivity in nerve endings
  • Disruption of normal nerve function

Regenerative medicine works to calm inflammation at its source, allowing the affected nerves to decompress and function more normally. This reduction in inflammation not only relieves pain but also slows or stops further nerve deterioration.

Promotes Tissue Healing in Muscles, Ligaments, and Surrounding Structures

Nerve damage rarely happens in isolation. Often, it’s accompanied by strain or injury to surrounding tissues such as:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia

By accelerating healing in these areas, regenerative therapies restore structural support around the nerve, reduce mechanical stress, and create a more stable environment for long-term recovery. This is crucial for regaining function after injuries or surgeries.

May Improve Nerve Signal Transmission and Functional Recovery

When nerves are damaged, their ability to transmit signals between the brain and body becomes impaired. This can result in:

  • Weakness or loss of motor control

  • Decreased reflexes
  • Numbness or altered sensations
  • Poor coordination and balance

Regenerative medicine may enhance the recovery of these essential nerve functions by stimulating repair at the microscopic level, helping patients regain mobility, sensation, and control. The result is not just reduced pain—but improved quality of life.

Minimizes Scar Tissue and Helps Restore Mobility and Sensation

Following injury or surgery, scar tissue can develop and further entrap nerves, contributing to chronic pain or stiffness. Regenerative treatments like PRP and stem cells have been shown to:

  • Break down and remodel scar tissue
  • Improve tissue elasticity
  • Enhance circulation and nutrient delivery

This helps restore natural movement, reduce tightness or nerve entrapment, and return normal sensation to previously damaged areas.

Conditions Treated with Regenerative Medicine at Medici

Sciatica and Lumbar Radiculopathy

Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or spinal degeneration. It can result in sharp, shooting pain that radiates down the leg.

Regenerative medicine can help:

  • Reduce inflammation around the nerve root
  • Promote healing of disc and soft tissue injuries
  • Improve nerve function and mobility

This approach offers long-term relief without relying on steroid injections or back surgery.

Peripheral Neuropathy (Including Diabetic Neuropathy)

Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often leading to numbness, burning, tingling, or weakness—especially in the hands and feet.

Common in diabetic patients, this condition can significantly impair quality of life.

Regenerative therapies may:

  • Stimulate repair of small nerve fibers
  • Improve circulation in affected areas
  • Reduce inflammation and promote nerve signal transmission

Nerve Injuries from Auto Accidents or Sports Trauma

Traumatic injuries can stretch, compress, or tear nerves, leading to chronic pain or loss of function. This includes:

  • Whiplash-related nerve impingement
  • Nerve damage from blunt force injuries
  • Post-concussion nerve-related symptoms

At Medici, we use regenerative medicine to jumpstart the healing process and help restore nerve health more naturally.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is a rare but extremely painful condition often triggered by injury or surgery, resulting in:

  • Burning pain
  • Skin color or temperature changes
  • Swelling and hypersensitivity

Regenerative treatments may help calm the overactive immune and nervous system response, promoting a more balanced healing process and reducing long-term disability.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome & Other Compressive Nerve Disorders

Compression of nerves—like the median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome—can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the hands, arms, or legs.

Rather than jumping to surgical release procedures, regenerative injections may:

  • Reduce swelling in the affected tunnel or canal
  • Restore nerve mobility and blood flow
  • Prevent scar tissue and chronic dysfunction

This offers a less invasive alternative to surgical decompression.

Post-Surgical Nerve Damage

Even successful surgeries can sometimes leave behind nerve irritation or injury, particularly after:

  • Spine surgery
  • Joint replacements
  • Orthopedic repairs

Regenerative medicine can assist in reducing scar tissue, calming nerve sensitivity, and restoring proper function to the affected area.

Shingles-Related Nerve Pain (Post-Herpetic Neuralgia)

After a shingles outbreak, some patients are left with debilitating nerve pain that can last for months or even years. Regenerative medicine offers a promising solution by:

  • Encouraging healing of the irritated nerve endings
  • Reducing inflammation in the damaged nerve pathways
  • Improving quality of life without heavy reliance on medications

Our Regenerative Treatments at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most widely used regenerative treatments for nerve-related conditions. It uses the healing components of your own blood to accelerate tissue and nerve repair.

How it works:

  1. A small sample of your blood is drawn in-office.
  2. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
  3. The PRP solution is injected into the precise area of nerve damage.

Benefits:

  • Enhances the body's healing response
  • Stimulates nerve tissue regeneration
  • Reduces inflammation that aggravates nerve compression
  • Improves function in surrounding tissues like tendons and muscles

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a powerful regenerative technique that uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—undifferentiated cells that can transform into various tissue types, including nerve, muscle, and connective tissue.

Where the cells come from:

  • Bone marrow: Typically harvested from the patient’s pelvic bone
  • Adipose (fat) tissue: Gently extracted, then processed to isolate stem cells

How it helps:

  • Repairs and regenerates damaged nerve fibers
  • Supports healing in adjacent muscle and ligament structures
  • Promotes long-term recovery of function and sensation
  • May even help reverse degenerative nerve damage when caught early
