From conservative methods like rest and heat to medication to more extreme measures like surgery, people have plenty of choices. But, among the most recommended solutions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valleysportsphysicians.com\/regenerative-medicine.html\">4 regenerative medicine treatments<\/a> often get overlooked. Rather than reduce symptoms, they are designed to help the body heal itself and deal with the root cause of the pain, leading to lasting relief. What are they? How do they work? Keep reading to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This treatment involves taking a small sample of a patient\u2019s blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to create a substance that contains a high amount of platelets and growth hormones. It can then be injected into an injured area of the body (including the back) where it will jumpstart the healing response and fuel accelerated recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prolotherapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A solution made using dextrose (sugar) and Novocain is injected where it hurts, and this tricks the body into focusing its healing powers right where they are needed. How? The sugar slightly irritates the tissues around the injection site without damaging them, and this creates an acute inflammatory response that gets the body\u2019s attention. The Novocain ensures that the patient remains comfortable throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prolozone\u00ae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prolozone\u00ae uses the same solution and method as Prolotherapy, except Vitamin B compounds and ozone (enriched oxygen) are added to it. These last two substances provide nutrition to the cells so they are able to \u201cwork\u201d more and heal even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stem Cell Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using stem cells taken from a patient\u2019s bone marrow or body fat, they are injected into the back, and they act as \u201ccoordinators\u201d for surrounding cells and guide them to create new, healthy tissue. The stem cells don\u2019t simply \u201cturn into\u201d different types of cells, but rather they are catalysts for concentrated and enhanced healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these treatments have been proven successful when it comes to dealing with all types of back pain, and even better, they don\u2019t require downtime or cause disruptive side effects. To figure out which one might be best for you, simply talk to a doctor who offers them all\u2014they\u2019ll be able to point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>About the Author<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valleysportsphysicians.com\/paul-tortland-do-faoasm.html\">Dr. Paul Tortland<\/a> is double board-certified in sports and regenerative medicine, and as such, he has used all of these treatments to take care of all levels of athletes for decades.
