Stem Cell and PRP Injection for Joint Pain | Beverly Hills CA

Joint pain can be difficult to treat. Some medications used in managing joint pain and related problems only ease the pain for a while, leading many to dependence on such drugs. Do you suffer joint pain, arthritis, back pain, and related problems? Then you may benefit from Stem Cell therapy or PRP Injection. 

What Is Stem Cell Therapy? 

This is a therapy that involves injecting stem cells into your body. Stem cells are special cells in the body that can develop into different types of tissues. In this therapy, doctors extract stem cells from your bone marrow and inject them into the part of your body (joint) that is in pain. 

What Is PRP Injection? 

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. In PRP therapy, doctors take a sample of your blood, put it through a machine that separates the platelets and the plasma, and then inject the platelets into the part of your body where you feel pain (joints in this case). Platelets help to reduce inflammation and help your body heal faster. 

How Effective Are These Therapies? 

Stem cell therapy and PRP injection are relatively new treatments. Doctors and researchers are still trying to ascertain how helpful they can be, but they have been found to be very successful in clinical trials. Many doctors have started using them, and the results are encouraging. Overall, we can conclude that they are very effective. 

Stem Cell and PRP vs. Steroids 

Many people who suffer joint pain get steroid injections. While steroids work for some people, it is not so good for others. Stem cell and PRP therapies seem to be better options than steroids.
