Joint pain can be difficult to live with, especially if it also restricts your ability to freely move around. Arthritis is a common cause of joint pain but pain in the lower back, knees, neck, and other joints can stem from other causes as well. Fortunately, there are several treatments, including the three below, to reduce joint pain and restore function to joints.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is one of the techniques used for joint pain management in Voorhees, NJ. It involves injecting natural substances into a damaged joint, often in the back, to help reduce pain and promote healing. The injections are done at the site of the damage and they help stimulate the body to grow new tissues such as ligaments and tendons.
PRP
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, is joint pain management which involves using blood plasma with a concentrated level of platelets to stimulate the natural healing abilities of the body. PRP contains about five times the amount of blood platelets as there are in regular whole blood. When injected at the site of injuries, it helps promote healing and reduces pain associated with joints in that area of the body.
Stem Cell Therapy
The human body contains amniotic stem cells that can help stimulate healing and new tissue growth. A person’s own stem cells are used in this joint pain management treatment to not only reduce pain but also help the body heal by promoting the growth of new tissues. Instead of providing temporary relief, stem cell therapy can produce lasting results.
Whether you have joint pain due to arthritis, cartilage tears, or other types of damage to your body, you should contact a doctor about treatments to promote healing. The three treatments listed above are less invasive than surgery and promote healing instead of temporary pain relief. Contact us to learn about these treatments.
