Tower of Power Spine™ – Regenerative Spine Therapy and PRP for Back Pain in Scottsdale
If your neck or back pain prevents you from reaching, bending, twisting, or lifting — and you want to return to activities you love like hiking, sports, or travel without surgery or medications — regenerative spine therapies through the Tower of Power Spine™ system may be the answer.
At Precision Regenerative Medicine™, Dr. Tammy Penhollow, DO, specializes in interventional spine and regenerative medicine. She developed a systems-based approach to help you heal from the inside out — reducing pain and inflammation in the short term, and strengthening and stabilizing the spine for lasting protection. The Tower of Power Spine™ integrates biologic precision, movement optimization, and muscular rehabilitation for true structural recovery.
Understanding Spine Pain
Neck and back pain often arise from soft tissue injuries such as muscle or ligament strains. These may occur during athletic activity, lifting, or whiplash. Overuse injuries develop when repetitive movements inflame and weaken spinal tissues. Without recovery time, small tears can accumulate and become chronic.
Degenerative changes in spinal joints and discs also contribute to long-term discomfort. Common sources of spine pain include:
• Facet joint arthritis
• Thickened or weakened spinal ligaments
• Herniated discs
• Disc tears
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sacroiliac joint sprains or arthritis
These conditions may also cause a “pinched nerve” (radiculopathy), leading to pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates into the arms, shoulders, buttocks, or legs.
How Regenerative Medicine Addresses Spine Pain
As a fellowship-trained interventional spine specialist and regenerative medicine subspecialist, Dr. Penhollow offers several biologic treatments to reduce inflammation and promote repair in the damaged tissues.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses your own blood to create a concentrate of growth factors and anti-inflammatory mediators. After centrifugation, the PRP is delivered precisely under ultrasound and fluoroscopic (x-ray) guidance to injured discs, joints, ligaments, and muscles. These platelets release growth factors that accelerate healing and regulate inflammation.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Cell Therapy
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy uses autologous (your own) bone marrow cells collected from your posterior pelvic bone. The aspirate contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), growth factors, and anti-inflammatory proteins, including IRAP (Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein), which blocks inflammatory pathways that sustain arthritis and degeneration.
Dr. Penhollow processes and concentrates the bone marrow, then injects it under image guidance into discs, epidural spaces, facet joints, sacroiliac joints, ligaments, and muscles. The goal: calm inflammation, support healing, and rebuild stability.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy involves the image-guided injection of a natural dextrose solution and anesthetic into soft tissues surrounding the spine. This stimulates a localized healing response that strengthens ligaments, supports joint alignment, and improves spinal function. It is particularly beneficial for patients with ligament laxity, hypermobility, or chronic postural strain.
Rehabilitation and Prevention: Strengthening the Core
The Tower of Power Spine™ integrates EmSculpt NEO® technology to enhance muscular strength and stabilize the spine. Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, EmSculpt NEO® promotes deep muscle contractions that build new tissue and improve endurance — crucial for spinal support and injury prevention.
Proper body mechanics and posture are essential components of rehabilitation. Dr. Penhollow collaborates with physical therapists and movement professionals to deliver individualized 1:1 programs aligned with your sport and lifestyle goals.
