Honest candidacy

Are you a good candidate?

Non-surgical, regenerative care for the spine works best when the disc isn't fully collapsed. We'll tell you the truth — for free.

We often help

  • Herniated or bulging discs that are not fully collapsed
  • Sciatica caused by disc irritation
  • Facet joint pain and early degeneration
  • Chronic “wear-and-tear” low-back pain
  • Back pain that hasn't responded to PT or injections

When it may be too advanced

  • A fully collapsed disc space
  • Severe spinal stenosis with a neurologic deficit
  • Instability that genuinely requires surgical fusion

If that's you, we'll say so at no charge and point you to the right next step.

Straight answers

Herniated disc questions people ask

Can a herniated disc heal without surgery? +
Many herniated and bulging discs improve without surgery. Non-surgical, regenerative care aims to calm inflammation and support the surrounding tissue. Whether it's right for you depends on your imaging — which a physician reviews for free.
Is this an alternative to spinal fusion? +
For some people with non-collapsed discs, non-surgical options are worth exploring before fusion. If your spine truly needs surgical stabilization, we'll tell you honestly — the review is free.
What about sciatica or a bulging disc? +
Sciatica from disc irritation and bulging (not collapsed) discs are among the situations we most often evaluate. The first step is an honest, in-person assessment with your imaging.
What will it cost? +
The consultation is always free, and it's $0 if there's no medical need. Treatment, if you're a candidate, is self-pay and quoted only after the physician reviews your case.
Do you take insurance? +
These services are generally self-pay, as insurance typically doesn't cover them. We'll walk you through the costs during your free consultation.
