Hello,

Stem cell therapy is currently not well established but it claims that it is effective for spine injury. Consult a state of the art spine centre and they will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
