Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Thursday, he is interested in the discovery of scientists who have just found a way to regenerate damaged intervertebral discs.

This morning, you come with excellent news for those who suffer from low back pain, those who have damaged intervertebral discs.

Until now, they were thought to be impossible to repair.

But scientists have just found a way to regenerate them.

A real feat that could change the lives of many people.

You should know that 40% of back pain (lumbago, sciatica or herniated discs) are linked to worn or damaged discs.

Whether by age, false movements or repeated efforts.

The disc that separates the vertebrae eventually deteriorates.

It no longer plays its role of shock absorber.

This causes pain and loss of mobility.

Until now, we were content to relieve ourselves with painkillers and physiotherapy.

But now, we will be able to really repair the discs.

How ?

By simply injecting a gel inside with a syringe (without surgery).

This will fill in the cracks, plump up the disc and restore its role as a shock absorber.

And it's proven, does it really work?

Yes.

The technique has just been tested on 20 patients, all suffering from disc degeneration.

Before the treatment, they rated their pain on average at 7 on a scale of 0 to 10. Six months after the injection, the pain no longer exceeded level 2. Ditto for mobility, all regained greater ease of movement.

They can finally resume normal activity.

Really, a huge step forward.

The gel was named Hydrafil.

It is developed by the company Regeltec.

And it's been given the rare "breakthrough device" classification by the FDA, America's drug watchdog.

A classification reserved for experimental products, more effective than conventional treatments, when it comes to serious or disabling diseases.

Does that mean that we will be able to administer it to treat low back pain?

Not yet.

The study must, first, be carried out on more patients and over a longer period.

But either way, it's very promising.

For the first time, we really have a way to not relieve, but to cure back pain… The evil of the century.
