Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection at Integrated Pain and Spine Clinic

PRP for accelerated regeneration

Your blood has red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The red cells carry oxygen, the white cells fight against infections and platelets do blood clotting and repair of tissues. The liquid part of blood is called plasma which is rich in molecules that help the platelets do their job.

PRP is plasma with a high concentration of platelets that are activated just before injection.

When the activated platelets are injected into a painful site, they release chemicals that attract other cells involved in the repair of tissues. The bad inflammation is automatically reduced because all these cells and plasma are now working in a balanced way towards the repair.

PRP is effective in a wide range of painful conditions. You can expect good relief if you are suffering from any of the following

• Lower Back pain

and many others.

Minor bleeding at the injection site and soreness for some days which is natural in this process. 

You will start seeing feeling relief after a week of the first session. Just imagine the joy and hope you will feel when you see your body healing itself naturally. A total of 5-6 sessions, once every week is recommended. But it can be less if significant relief is achieved early or more if the repair is slow.
