What is Nerve Pain therapy?
Nerve pain therapy is a solution of concentrated platelets often made from your own blood. Platelets contain proteins called growth factors, which are a major part of your body’s natural healing process.
How does Nerve Pain therapy work?
Therapeutic treatments involving injections. After creating the solution, your Rincon Pain and Spine provider injects the Nerve pain solution directly into the injury site that is causing you pain.
While it’s not fully understood how Nerve pain therapy works, it’s thought that the large quantity of growth factors kickstarts and bolsters your body’s natural healing process. The end result is a much faster recovery period.
Who needs Nerve Pain therapy?
Though research is ongoing, Nerve pain therapy is already being used to improve recovery for several musculoskeletal conditions. The most common uses for Nerve pain at the Rincon Pain and Spine include:
Arthritis
Some patients who have arthritis, namely knee arthritis, respond well to conventional treatment coupled with Nerve pain therapy.
Muscle and ligament injuries
One of the more common uses of Nerve pain , injections at the injury site can help speed healing. Knee sprains, pulled muscles, and rolled ankles are just a few of the injuries treatable with Nerve pain .
Fractures
Just as Nerve pain can help speed muscle and tissue healing, the same growth factors allow for faster mending of minor fractures.
What can I expect during Nerve pain treatment?
You don’t need much preparation for Nerve pain therapy. Depending on the location of your injury site, you might want to wear baggy or loose clothing to allow your provider easy access.
Before your injection, your provider procures a sample of your blood to create the Nerve pain . This sample is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of your blood. After separation, the Nerve pain solution is created and loaded into a syringe.
If you have a large or complex injury, you might receive several more injections of Nerve pain around the injury site. You’re free to leave the same day as your treatment and should start feeling the results of the Nerve pain therapy in as soon as a few weeks.
If you’re dissatisfied with the recovery rate of a nagging injury, Nerve pain injections might offer the edge you need to get back on your feet. Call the Rincon Pain and Spine to schedule your consultation or request an appointment online.
