Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection Treatments

Regenerative Relief for Spine and Joint Conditions

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are rising in popularity. They’re minimally invasive, highly effective, and carry a low risk of serious side effects. PRP treatments are unique because they utilize the patient’s own blood platelets to facilitate the physical recovery process. These revolutionary injections can help with a range of conditions, from torn ligaments to back injuries. At Total Spine Institute, we provide comprehensive interventional pain and spinal care utilizing a range of cutting-edge procedures and techniques. We often recommend PRP treatments to patients experiencing back or neck pain, degenerative disc disease, joint pain, and other painful spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. To arrange a complimentary consultation for PRP treatments in Northern California, Southern California and Arizona, call us at (818) 616-4429.

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is a therapeutic substance derived from the blood. It’s composed of two elements: platelets and plasma. Platelets are a specific type of blood cell, and plasma is the liquid part of the blood. To separate PRP from the blood, providers use a centrifuge to spin the patient’s blood sample. The centrifuge rapidly spins to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components.

The process of collecting, preparing, and delivering PRP injections involves these primary steps:

  • Extraction: A qualified technician extracts a small blood sample from the patient’s body.
  • Centrifuging: After extraction, the blood goes into a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins rapidly, separating the platelets and plasma from the other blood cells.
  • Processing: After centrifuging, the PRP goes through a process that involves mixing the platelets with an anticoagulant. This helps prevent unwanted blood clotting.
  • Injection: A provider injects the prepared and processed PRP into the patient’s injury site. Total Spine Institute uses ultrasound imaging to facilitate precise injection placement.

The entire PRP treatment process usually takes about an hour. You can return home immediately after your procedure without any downtime. After the injection, your body will immediately begin healing itself, and you may feel a rapid decrease in pain.

How Does PRP Work?

PRP treatment works by isolating plasma and platelets from the blood into concentrated amounts. Then, a skilled provider injects the PRP directly into the desired treatment area. PRP delivers as many as 10 times the normal number of platelets to the injection site, helping augment the body’s natural healing process.

The PRP preparation process involves activating platelets so they release healing proteins. These proteins trigger injury repairs and can heal damaged blood vessels, cartilage, and soft tissue. Athletes commonly undergo PRP treatment to quickly recover from injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and other muscle or ligament injuries.

When Might You Need PRP Injections?

It’s not natural to experience ongoing joint, tendon, or spinal pain. Even if you’ve lived with discomfort most of your life, that doesn’t mean you have to live the rest of your life that way. If you have pain that doesn’t respond to massages, chiropractic adjustments, or other treatments, PRP injections may be a good next step for you to take. Consult with the team here at Total Spine Institutes to learn more about this remarkable treatment and how it boosts your body’s innate healing abilities.

Common Conditions PRP Injections Treat

You may want to ask about PRP injections if you experience chronic back or neck pain related to an injury or spinal condition. We frequently provide PRP treatments for the following concerns:

  • Spinal arthritis
  • Facet joint pain
  • Herniated discs
  • Sacroiliac joint pain
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic neck or back pain
  • Rotator cuff and other shoulder injuries
  • Knee, hip, and elbow pain
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Tendinopathies
If you have musculoskeletal or spinal pain that’s unrelated to any of the above issues, please reach out to us. After an evaluation, we can let you know whether we recommend PRP injections for your unique situation.

Just want to say thank you to Total Spine Institute for all your care that I have received. Dr Mattie and Dr Fox are real heroes that really help and listen to their patients. That is the service that I received and would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Dr. Fox truly made my visits a breeze! From calming my nerves before surgery to providing comforting reassurance afterward, he went above and beyond to ensure I felt at ease throughout the entire process. Along with his incredibly accommodating staff, scheduling appointments was a breeze. The best part? I experienced minimal pain post-surgery and I’m absolutely thrilled to share that my procedure was an outstanding success. A heartfelt thank you to you, Dr. Fox!
– Nicole P.
Dr. Fox and his Team of Friendly, Courteous Professionals are the very best you can get! I am a critical care RN, so I am always censoring the care I receive and can easily see the difference.
– Yvonne
Foot numbness and leg and back pain had been increasingly limiting my mobility, and activity level. Dr. Fox cleaned up scar tissue that was putting pressure on the spinal nerve. I’ve regained feeling and am working on re-strengthening the leg. I was in and out of surgery the same day and the surgical site has healed well with no complication. Should have done this sooner!
– Claudio C.
Dr. Fox and his team are extremely professional and caring. They had our total and complete trust from day 1. We are so grateful!
– Amanda B.
Highly recommend this office and Dr.Fox! Everyone I ever spoke with was very polite and kind. Dr.Fox has a great bedside manner. He feels more like a caring, trustworthy, friend. Being in pain is horrible, but knowing your Dr. Has your best interest at heart makes you feel more at ease. I trust and respect Dr.Fox and his colleagues very much!
– Vanessa M.

PRP FAQS

Yes, PRP has the potential to promote cartilage cell regeneration. This can be especially helpful in cases of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

PRP is generally considered safe and has a low risk of side effects or allergic reactions because it’s composed of your body’s own cells. However, it does still carry a minimal risk of side effects like infection, tissue damage, nerve injuries, and excessive bleeding.

The positive, healing effects of PRP injections can last from nine months to a year. Often, patients may need two or more injections for optimal pain relief. In most cases, providers recommend spacing injections apart by up to six weeks.

PRP injections are less painful than some other treatments for musculoskeletal or spinal pain. However, patients may experience some initial discomfort during the injections. We use ultrasound technology to guide our injections, minimizing procedural discomfort precisely.
