Pete O’Heeron is the Chief Executive Officer of SpinalCyte, which is a medical technology company that uses cell therapy in order to treat degenerative disc disease. Originally, treating this affliction meant either undergoing a discectomy or a spinal fusion, but this may be behind us.
Using cell therapy actually helps regrow the spinal disc itself because the skin cells being injected differentiate into chondrocyte cells in the body. Pete O’Heeron has been working in the field for the last twenty years, and he understands what it takes to be successful at such a high level of competition. Pete O’Heeron company plans to revolutionize back surgery through their invention, as well as change the way lower back pain is treated in patients around the world.
