Have to add collagen type II to the list. A few human and numerous animal studies have shown that it significantly reduces joint pain. Combined with Glucosamine & Chondroitin seems to be superior to either alone.
It's something else that is not really heard about because there's no money in it to attract attention of big pharma or medical industry. Could be worth a try for pain reduction. The following product sounds good, but i can't speak from experience. ImmuCell Kolla2 Collagen Type ll 600mg 120 Capsules by Neocell Laboratories - $24.99

A recent study of restored disc height using non surgical decompression.

Rev,
Nucore type procedure is 100+ times more desirable for patients but something seems to be holding back the development and introduction of minimal biological spine treatments. Could it be the threat to multi billion dollar fusion and ADR industries? The images of regeneration you wont see with ADR or fusion.

Crystal,
I have had 2 ADR's at L4/5 and L5/S1. Now I have some problems with L3/4 with front thigh weakness and pain in back. I want to try the Biostat Fibrin sealant. Who performed this for you? Was it part of trial? Thanks

Rob, I have several clients who've received the fibrin sealant, some with good results, some were not successful. I like Dr. Kevin Pauza in TX for this.
The Nucore is not really a biologic treatment. It's basically performing a nucleus replacement via injecting a flowable hydrogel into the evacuated disc following a discectomy. There are other nucleus replacements that can be inserted endoscopically. Nucore is similar to the Dascore nucleus replacement except that with Dascore, the flowable polymer fills the evacuated disc space inside of a balloon that inflates with the polymer as it's pushed into into it. The Nucore system does not use a balloon to contain the nucleus replacement. It is simply a hydrogel that directly fills the cavity created by the discectomy. Mark
