What the evidence shows for Back Pain & Disc Degeneration
Before research is considered, identify red flags and the anatomical diagnosis; imaging findings alone may not explain symptoms. Product studies must match source, processing, dose, route, comparator, diagnosis and validated pain and function outcomes. The FDA consumer alert states that the promoted regenerative products it addresses have not been approved in the United States for disc disease or back pain.
