Treatments for Painful Joints
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP, platelet-rich plasma, injections is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment to help relieve pain in the joints. Platelets include an abundance of growth factors and proteins that elevate restorative properties in the body's damaged tissues.
A small amount of blood is taken from the patient. It then goes through a process where the red blood cells and plasma is separated. This plasma is then injected into the painful joint, where it encourages the body to heal. Because it is made from the patient's blood, there is little risk of rejection.
Chiropractic CareAfter being evaluated by the doctor, you may be urged to have chiropractic adjustments to alleviate the joint pain. If someone is suffering from joint pain associated with arthritis, a chiropractor can perform adjustments to decrease joint restraint and inflammation. This non-surgical option will assist in the increased mobility and function of the joints and nervous system.
What Are the Causes of Joint Pain?
Joint pain can have countless explanations as to what causes the discomfort. It not only can be due to a fundamental disease or illness, but can also be caused by an injury that includes strains, sprains, excessive physical activity, or just a simple lack of using the joint.
The most common cause of joint pain is arthritis. This results from a disruption of the cartilage that is meant to support and cushion the joints. This can be highly debilitating over time if not taken care of properly.
Symptoms of joint pain can include loss of function, pain, inflammation, and fluid buildup. Most forms of joint pain can be treated with non-surgical options ending with extraordinary results.
