About Back Pain
Back pain is among the most common ailments, affecting 8 out of 10 adults at some point during their lives. Back pain can be of different types and may occur in varying degrees. Back pain is termed as acute when it comes on suddenly and lasts between a few days and a few weeks. Pain which lasts more than 3 months is termed as chronic.
Many patients find relief from back pain without any treatment and over the counter pain medication can help. However, bed rest for more than a day or too can worsen the pain.
Treatment for back pain depends on the type of pain and the cause of the pain. One may be prescribed hot or cold packs, exercise, medicines, injections, complementary and alternative treatments such as non-surgical StemNovo-Rx, and sometimes surgery.

What makes Treatment at OrthoNovo Different?
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (NovoMAC™)
Learn More…AmnioNovo™ - Amniotic Tissue Product
Learn More…At OrthoNovo, we augment NovoMAC™ with AmnioNOVO™, a proprietary, pliable tissue allograft (transplant) derived from human placental amnion, which functions as a biologic structural matrix to facilitate and enhance tissue healing and repair. AmnioNOVO™ contains 108 different growth factors including WNT-4 and prostaglandin.
Prostaglandin inhibits inflammation, which occurs after injury and marks the beginning of the healing process. The faster we can tame this inflammation, the sooner the body can move on to the next phase of healing, regeneration. It’s important to note that AmnioNOVO™ has more than 60 times the amount of prostaglandin compared to other products.
WNT4 is arguably the single most important molecule required for wound healing. AmnioNOVO™ has more than 10 times the amount of WNT4 as competing products.
