Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common phenomenon that affects patients with increasing prevalence with increasing age. Both conservative treatments, such as the use of pain medication or physical therapy, and surgical treatments, such as fusion or disc replacement therapies, are offered to patients. Both non‐invasive and invasive treatments have been shown to improve pain and quality of life for patients. This review explores the role of regenerative medicine techniques as a promising therapeutic intervention that can be used before or in combination with conservative therapy and surgery to enhance the treatment process in patients with IVD degeneration or disc pathology. Currently, there are four major modules of regenerative medicine: genetic therapy, platelet‐rich plasma therapy, stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Several research studies have shown promising outcomes of stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering when combined with either surgical or conservative treatment, resulting in improved pain outcomes. The additional benefit of regenerative medicine techniques, specifically stem cell transplantation, is the potential for treating the root pathology of degeneration. Regenerative medicine techniques also have the potential to either halt or reverse degeneration as opposed to current standards of care for managing symptoms. There is a plethora of current research highlighting the benefits of regenerative medicine techniques; however, there remains clinical concerns and ethical concerns regarding the use of regenerative therapy techniques such as stem cell transplantation in the context of IVD degeneration.
