We utilize the very latest in natural regenerative therapies to help decrease inflammation, improve pain, and repair injured or degenerated tissues. PRP is growing in popularity in medicine due to its noninvasive nature and healing properties.
Benefits of PRP Treatment
– Decreased Pain
– Tissue Healing
– Decreased Inflammation
– Minimally Invasive
– Less Side Effects (Compared to steroid injections or surgery)
– Natural and Organic (from your own body)
– Minimal to No Down Time
What is platelet-rich plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body.
What is a PRP injection?
After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a tendon to stimulate and/or accelerate the healing process and decrease pain.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger Point Injections:
- Trigger point injections are a medical procedure used to relieve muscle pain and discomfort, particularly in cases of myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial trigger points are small knots or tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain, muscle spasms, and referred pain to other areas of the body.
- During a trigger point injection, a healthcare provider inserts a needle directly into the trigger point, which is often palpable as a knot or tight band within the muscle. The injection typically contains a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, and may include a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation. By delivering these medications directly into the trigger point, the procedure aims to relax the muscle, relieve pain, and improve range of motion.
- Trigger point injections can be an effective treatment for conditions like tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and chronic neck or back pain. They are a valuable tool in pain management and can provide immediate relief for individuals suffering from muscle-related discomfort.
