There are several non-surgical treatment options available for managing pain. Our pain specialist believes that high dosage medications and surgery should not be the only options for treating pain. The type of non-surgical pain management treatment depends on the specific pain condition the patient is experiencing. We made a breakdown of 4 non-surgical treatments to manage your pain, so you know what options are available for you.
Prolotherapy, also known as regenerative injection therapy, works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to regenerate injured ligaments and tendons, allowing new, strong collagen fibers and cells to form. This treatment is proven to be 80% effective in treating pain that is caused by an injury or an underlying condition. It is mostly used for treating chronic pain in joints that is caused by unhealed connective tissue, ligament, or a damaged tendon.
Types of conditions treated by prolotherapy:
Prolotherapy treatment is a series of injection of natural solutions into the injured area. Once the natural solution is injected it stimulates the tissues to grow, increasing the ligaments’ and tendons’ strength and thickness. The solution that is commonly used is dextrose that normally triggers a low grade inflammatory reaction ,which is a good thing. This means that the blood vessels and growth factors have entered the injured area, increasing the activity of cells and further healing.
Orthobiologics make use of cell based therapies and biomaterials that are naturally found in your body. When the solution is used in higher concentration, it helps speed up the healing process.
Patients who are suffering from chronic pain due to previous injuries can benefit from this type of non-surgical treatment. Pain management in Miami has an advanced orthobiologics treatment called PX50 and DX100. Most of our patients obtain pain relief after one treatment session.
Types of conditions treated by orthobiologics:
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative therapy that is performed using a concentrated injectable solution developed using the patient’s blood. This treatment mainly helps stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
The process of administering PRP injections takes less than an hour, including the preparation of PRP. The PRP solution is injected into the damaged tendon, ligament, muscle, joint or a painful disc.
Types of conditions treated by platelet rich plasma (PRP):
PRP treatment is available to patients of all ages, and activity levels. Whether you are a professional or an amateur athlete, or a person who is suffering from chronic pain, PRP therapy can help relieve your pain symptoms.
Stem cell therapy is the process of harvesting specific types of stem cells from a patient’s bone marrow or fat around the belly. Next, the stem cells are processed to become highly concentrated and will then be injected into the painful area. The therapy helps treat injuries, relieve pain and tenderness and aids the healing process.
