Have you tried every possible option to relieve your chronic neck pain short of having surgery? Most people will do anything to avoid surgery and if so, then perhaps a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in Genlife Miami pain clinic is the answer to your medical issue.

How PRP Therapy in Miami Helps With Chronic Neck Pain

When there’s a soft tissue injury, the body’s first response is to send platelet cells to facilitate the healing process. Platelet cells help in the repair and restoration of the damaged area, as well as assist in the growth of critical stem cells.

Suffice to say, platelet cells are the body’s natural healers and a PRP injection can enhance the benefits of this healing process. This procedure delivers a higher concentration of platelet cells to jump-start the recovery of a painful injury.

What Happens in a PRP Procedure?

To create a platelet-rich plasma for chronic neck pain, our experienced doctor in Genlife Miami pain clinic will have to draw out a small sample of blood, as if taking a lab test specimen. Then, this blood will be placed inside a centrifuge and spun at high speed to separate the blood’s components.

The amount of  platelets in your blood is measured by our platelet counter and after processing through our centrifuges, your platelet count is taken again to see how many times it has been concentrating. If your platelet count if 200,000 normally, we like to have over 1 million to 1.5 million platelets to inject after processing to get a good result.

This concentrated PRP is then injected to the point of injury. Since it’s the patient’s own blood that’s being used, there is little risk of infection or allergic reaction. according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Dr.Mahl teaches and trains physicians all over the world in PRP techniques and always counts platelets.

Once the procedure is done, which usually takes under an hour, the patient may leave the clinic and then go back to normal activities in a matter of days.

Why go for PRP?

Aside from restoring your neck’s range of motion and function, the biggest advantage of PRP is that you can avoid surgery while still being free of the pain. PRP therapy in Miami helps in “tweaking” the body’s natural response to healing and it doesn’t have the risks associated with surgery and other types of treatment.

PRP is also non-invasive and you only need to go back to your doctor over a period of a few weeks to months for follow up treatments.
