Kylie Jenner is opening up about a health struggle she says she’s been quietly managing for years. The reality star and entrepreneur recently revealed that she has been dealing with chronic back pain following her second pregnancy. She added that the long-term discomfort eventually led her to pursue stem cell therapy. Now, Jenner is sharing her experience in hopes of helping others facing similar issues.
Kylie Jenner reveals learning about stem cell therapy for back pain from Kim Kardashian
In a series of Instagram stories posted on Wednesday, Kylie Jenner walked followers through what she described as a nearly three-year battle with persistent back pain. The 28-year-old shared a photo from a medical facility, explaining that the discomfort began after welcoming her son Aire and never fully subsided despite trying numerous treatments.
According to Jenner, it was her sister Kim Kardashian who first mentioned stem cell therapy as a potential option. The Kylie Cosmetics founder said listening to her sister talk about her experience encouraged her to explore the treatment herself. “Hearing how much relief kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy,” she wrote.
Jenner then described visiting Dr. Akhan and his team at Eterna Health. She posted images of small bandages across her lower back and a snapshot alongside the physician. The Kylie Cosmetics founder emphasized that her experience is personal, noting that everybody responds differently to medical treatments. She urged followers to consult professionals before considering any similar procedure and stressed that she was sharing her own journey rather than issuing recommendations.
The beauty mogul, who shares daughter Stormi, 7, and son Aire, 3, with ex-partner Travis Scott, has recently been more candid about the challenges she faced stepping into motherhood at a young age. During an appearance on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast “Khloé in Wonderland,” Jenner reflected on the emotional adjustment that followed both pregnancies.
She admitted that regaining her sense of self took time, particularly as one of the only young mothers within her friend group. “It took me like a year, probably, after — both times — to really feel like myself again,” Jenner said on the podcast. She also shared that her experience with postpartum emotions was more difficult than she anticipated.
