From the constant back pain can be eliminated with the help of fat cells. Scientists have recently proposed a new way to treat diseases of the spine   by introducing into the backs of human adipose tissue.

To perform this procedure, you need to take fat cells from the abdomen and put them in those intervertebral discs that were damaged and therefore cause severe back pain. Researchers believe that using these cells intervertebral discs you can recover. However, so far they have proved this thesis only in theory.

According to statistics, problems with the intervertebral disks to a certain extent affect every fourth person. Disk function - to reduce the strain on the vertebrae during movement, protecting them from being erased and to ensure the mobility of the spine. Inside the drive with a durable outer layer, the middle of the gel is placed. When a person reaches the age of thirty, the outer shell of the disk gradually becomes stronger, thereby increasing the likelihood of fractures and cracks. The result of these changes - compression of nerves . degradation   and severe pain .

According to the allegations of medical popularizing a new treatment, it can be used to not only effectively restore disks, but also to create for them the protection from potential damage. The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia . It takes as follows: initially made Liposuction In which process is pumped about 100 milliliters of fat (such amount enables to obtain 40 million cells). From the resulting fat identifies those cells that are used in subsequent manipulations.

This technology, scientists from Mayo Clinic   already tested on animals. As a result of the experimental animals increased amount of liquid within the disc, and disc height was more than 26%. Currently, clinical trials of this treatment in humans. It is expected that the study will end in a few months.

In the same time Scientists from Denmark   He offered his version of the treatment of back pain now. According to them, about 40% of patients who suffer from chronic back pain may improve if the course of treatment will be antibiotics . They argue that there is a direct link between the occurrence of back pain and infection by bacteria of the body Propionibacterium acnes . The bacterium lives in the human skin and provoke acne. Penetrating into the intervertebral discs, it contributes to inflammation and damages the vertebrae. After her elimination in humans disappear and pain in the back.
