Struggling with Chronic Back or Joint Pain? Discover the Healing Power of PRP

Living with chronic back or joint pain can affect nearly every part of your day, from walking and working to exercising and sleeping. When pain keeps coming back, even with rest, medication, or physical therapy, it’s time to explore a treatment that supports the body’s natural healing process.

At AABP Integrative Pain Care and Wellness in Brooklyn, New York, advanced pain management options are available to address conditions affecting the back, knees, shoulders, legs, and other joints.

Our experienced pain management team specializes in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a regenerative treatment that helps people with ongoing pain from soft-tissue injuries, joint degeneration, inflammation, or overuse.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own blood to support natural healing processes in a targeted area. During treatment, we draw a small amount of blood and prepare it to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.

Platelets contain growth factors and proteins that play an important role in tissue repair. Once prepared, our specialists inject PRP into the area causing pain or dysfunction. We use image-guided techniques when appropriate to improve diagnostic and treatment precision.

Because PRP comes from your own body, there’s minimal risk of complications. Many people benefit from this minimally invasive option before considering more aggressive treatments.

While results vary, PRP is an effective therapy for certain tendon-, ligament-, muscle-, joint-, and spine-related conditions.

How PRP might help chronic back and joint pain

Chronic pain is often linked to tissue damage, inflammation, or degeneration. For example, knee osteoarthritis, shoulder injuries, tendon problems, and some forms of low back pain can develop when tissues become irritated or weakened over time.

PRP is designed to deliver a high concentration of healing components directly to the problem area, where they help support repair, reduce inflammation, and improve function.

AABP Integrative Pain Care and Wellness offers PRP therapy for those with sports injuries or conditions like:

• Ligament sprains
• Tendon strains
• Plantar fasciitis
• Rotator cuff tears
• Achilles tendonitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Chronic neck pain
• Chronic back pain

PRP injections are also an effective treatment option for those with persistent joint pain or stiffness, as they improve comfort and mobility by supporting the tissues around the joint.

What to expect during PRP therapy

AABP Integrative Pain Care & Wellness offers PRP therapy in an outpatient setting. After we draw your blood and process it, our specialists inject the concentrated plasma into the targeted area.

Depending on the location of your pain, your provider may use imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to help place the injection accurately.

Some soreness after treatment is normal, since PRP is intended to stimulate a healing response.

Unlike numbing treatments that provide quick symptom relief, PRP often works gradually. Many people notice improvement over several weeks as their bodies respond to the treatment.

Is PRP right for you?

PRP therapy isn’t the right choice for every type of pain, and it is not a guaranteed cure. The best candidates are typically patients with persistent pain linked to specific tissue or joint problems who want a nonsurgical approach to pain relief and better mobility.

A consultation with our medical team helps determine whether PRP, physical therapy, medication management, image-guided injections, or another treatment is appropriate for your condition.

If chronic back or joint pain limits your life, you don’t have to manage it on your own. Our team at AABP Integrative Pain Care and Wellness can evaluate the source of your pain and help you explore whether PRP therapy may be part of your personalized treatment plan.
