Thanks for responding. Dr. Centeno (who I would consider the godfather of stem cells for US) injected into all the surrounding lumbar tissue, SI, hips . . . not the discs. I cannot find any solid documentation that disc injection works. Stem cells need blood flow and there is not enough blood flow in the discs to achieve regeneration. Hence, the theory is to repair the damaged tissue around the damaged discs and support the back not to create a new disc.
