PRP Therapy for Spine & Back Pain
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body's own healing factors to support injured or degenerating spinal tissues. It's a regenerative, non-surgical option that concentrates the platelets from your own blood — rich in growth factors — and delivers them precisely where healing is needed.
Conditions We Treat
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related drying and thinning of the discs that can cause pain.
Learn MoreHow PRP Therapy Works
The process is simple: a small sample of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and the resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected — often under imaging guidance — into the targeted joint or tissue. Because PRP comes from your own body, there's no risk of rejection, and it's a same-day, outpatient procedure.
PRP is a promising regenerative treatment that may support healing and relieve pain for suitable patients. Results vary, and it isn't right for every condition — we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit for you.
What to Expect
The procedure takes under an hour and most patients return to normal activity quickly. Because PRP works by supporting your body's own healing, relief tends to build gradually over weeks rather than immediately. We often consider PRP as part of a least-invasive-first plan, before more invasive options.
