Celebrity and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner recently shared a major health update: she has undergone stem-cell therapy to address the chronic back pain she’s been living with since her last pregnancy.

In an Instagram Story posted on December 3, 2025 — later confirmed by multiple reputable sources — Kylie revealed she’s been “dealing with bad chronic back pain for almost three years after my last pregnancy; and nothing I tried seemed to help.” The pain persisted despite conventional treatments, leading her to take what she described as a “huge step” toward healing.

But Kylie didn’t just post photos — she opened up about the emotional and physical strain of postpartum pain. She shared:

“I’ve been dealing with bad chronic back pain for almost 3 years after my last pregnancy … Hearing how much relief Kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy.”

She also expressed gratitude for her medical team at Eterna Health and offered advice to others considering similar treatments:

“Everyone’s body is different, but this has been a huge step in my healing. Definitely do your research, talk to your doctor and medical professionals, but I just wanted to share in case this helps anyone.”

By speaking candidly, Kylie brings attention to a common yet often overlooked issue affecting women’s health after childbirth.

She’s far from alone. Research shows that pregnancy and childbirth can significantly increase the risk of long-term low back pain. A 2023 systematic review found that nearly 40% of women who experience back pain during pregnancy continue to struggle after delivery. Another study tracking women up to 24 months postpartum discovered that about 21% still reported persistent back pain, particularly those who had prior back issues or experienced pain during pregnancy.

Kylie’s choice, stem-cell therapy, is part of a growing field in regenerative medicine that aims to harness specialized cells to repair damaged tissue. Early scientific evidence suggests promise, though it remains limited. A 2025 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that patients receiving so-called “somatic cell therapies” reported a moderate reduction in pain compared with controls.

However, experts caution that stem-cell therapy is not a guaranteed solution. A 2023 review on regenerative treatment for disc-related back pain noted that much of the research is small-scale or based on animal models, with human outcomes still uncertain. While some patients report improvements — including reduced pain and better mobility — long-term safety data are lacking, and results can vary significantly from person to person.

If successful, stem-cell therapy could offer meaningful relief and improved quality of life, potentially reducing the need for pain medications, repetitive physical therapy, or even surgery. But for now, it remains an experimental approach rather than a standard treatment.

Kylie’s access to this therapy highlights a gap between celebrity resources and what most new mothers experience. With fame and wealth, she was able to travel and pursue an expensive, off-label procedure that is often out of reach for the average person. In contrast, most women rely on standard postpartum care, physical therapy, over-the-counter pain relief, and limited insurance coverage.

By sharing her journey, Kylie not only raises awareness about postpartum back pain but also sparks an important conversation about access to advanced treatments and the ongoing challenges women face in managing chronic postpartum conditions.
