Back Pain
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative, non-surgical treatment for chronic back pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, facet joint arthritis, and muscle injuries. PRP utilizes the body's own healing factors to reduce pain, repair damaged tissues, and promote long-term recovery.

How PRP Works for Back Pain
-
PRP therapy works by harnessing the natural growth factors in platelets to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. When injected into the affected area of the spine, PRP:
✔ Promotes healing by accelerating the repair of damaged discs, joints, and ligaments.
✔ Reduces inflammation in soft tissues and nerves, leading to pain relief.
✔ Stimulates collagen production, improving spinal strength and flexibility.
✔ Enhances blood circulation, helping damaged tissues recover more efficiently.
The PRP Procedure for Back Pain
-
The PRP treatment is minimally invasive and typically involves these steps:
-
Blood Draw – A small amount of the patient’s blood is taken.
-
Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
-
Injection – Using imaging guidance (like ultrasound or fluoroscopy), the PRP is precisely injected into the injured discs, facet joints, ligaments, or muscles.
-
Recovery – Patients typically experience gradual pain relief over a few weeks as healing takes place.
Efficacy of PRP for Back Pain
-
Clinical studies have shown significant pain reduction and functional improvement in patients receiving PRP injections for spinal conditions. Key findings include:
✔ Up to 60-80% pain reduction in patients with degenerative disc disease after PRP therapy.
✔ Improved mobility and reduced stiffness in patients with facet joint arthritis.
✔ Faster recovery and better long-term results compared to steroid injections, which only provide temporary relief.
✔ Fewer side effects, as PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Who Might Benefit from PRP?
-
PRP therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from:
✔ Chronic Lower Back Pain – Especially those with disc degeneration or arthritis.
✔ Herniated or Bulging Discs – PRP can help regenerate disc tissue and reduce nerve irritation.
✔ Facet Joint Pain – PRP injections reduce inflammation and restore joint function.
✔ Sciatica & Nerve Pain – PRP may help reduce nerve compression and alleviate radiating pain.
✔ Sports or Work-Related Injuries – PRP aids in faster healing of muscle strains, ligament tears, and spinal injuries.
