Spinal Fusion or Stem Cell Therapy: An Athlete's Victory Over Stress Fracture
In this video, Dr. Christopher Good, one of the nation's leading spine surgeons at VSI, “dives” into a compelling case study of a young athlete named Mateo, who avoided back surgery and was able to get back to diving at a Division 1 level.
Stress fractures in the back, also known as spondylolysis, are an extremely common injury for teenage athletes, affecting about 5-6% of young athletes. For some individuals, this breakage in the bones of the lower back can cause long-term pain and even nerve damage.
In Mateo’s case, two stress fractures in his lower back started to cause damage to one of his lumbar discs. Instead of opting for a spinal fusion, Dr. Good performed a concentrated bone marrow injection, or stem cell procedure, to promote healing in the lumbar disc area.
Following a careful process of healing and a relentless pursuit of his dreams, Mateo has not only recovered but is now competing at an elite level-pain-free!
What You’ll Learn:
- Mateo's experience, from diagnosis to recovery
- Expert insights from Dr. Good on the procedure and its benefits
- Encouragement for high-level athletes considering stem cell therapy for injury recovery

    Lol. All the available/FDA approved discs in US are crap. There is no data about LP-ESP discs here in the US to back up his claims as there is no experienced/competent surgeons in US who has worked with LP-ESP implants. He sounds like a salesman that don’t have the product you want and tries to push a lower quality product.

    if it's one or two levels fused it might not a big deal. if it's majority of your spine be very careful. there are solutions like (after trying physio) fibrin injections like discseel for bad discs or VBT, apifix or Clear physiotherapy for scoliosis. Never get fusion as a first resort, they can cause complications much later down the line (10+ years) like ASD/ disc dehydration which are not naturally reversible.

    It is completely overlooked in our NHS & Gaslighting from consultants doesn't help with mental health either & these experts should know that. My related symptoms & more importantly the lack of function due to bertolotti syndrome hit the roof after a fall trauma to my sacrum 10 yrs ago. I repeadedly went back & forth misdiagnosed & told there is nothing that shows why i have these symptoms. I also have a chiari malformation type 1 so another congenital anomaly can't hurt right😂 I managed to get images taken last year after dissmissive treatment for May years but was not told of latest findings when they were received, which was the last straw. I have Bertolotti syndrome coupled with cervical lordosis & a recently discovered annular tear on l4 ALL Of which can definitely cause the upper & lower functional & chronic pain issues & now i have many spurs & disc degeneration up and down the spine. Difficulties bending, tying shoelaces, wiping bum and sitting or walking too much. They took a scan of my hips & pelvis 5 yrs ago. Bertolotti syndrome can be seen on it. Its maddening.

    This was the Most painful thing I experienced through my entire process of multiple surgeries but it helped locate the exact areas that needed to be addressed during surgery. Please use a different table to have your patients lay on during this test, it's about the size and shape of an ironing board and even the technicians believe it needs to be replaced with something more comfortable for the patients
