Best PRP Therapy Techniques for Herniated Disc Pain & Injuries

Herniated discs can hinder athletes and enthusiasts alike. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment, uses the body’s healing factors to repair tissues and lessen inflammation. By processing one’s own blood to concentrate growth-rich platelets, and injecting them into affected areas, PRP accelerates recovery. Effective techniques include intradiscal, epidural, facet joint, and sacroiliac joint injections. While largely safe, consulting a medical professional is key. Turn to Avid Sports Medicine for expert PRP treatments.
