extreme trauma. At Advanced Spine & Sports, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections work to minimize pain and immediately start recovery. PRP injections are localized treatments for inflammation and damaged tissues to restore function, differing slightly from our other services.

Before booking your appointment, you might have questions about PRP injections. We answer them below.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich has a high concentration of healing benefits (10x more significant) than regular blood. Studies prove that it has sped up the time it takes to recover fully.

Plasma is derived from your blood. It contains a combination of water and proteins to help blood cells flow through your body. Platelets help your blood clot when you get cut and helps you heal after an injury.

PRP injections at Advanced Spine are best for treating the following injuries:

• Torn tendons
• Rotator cuff damage
• Tendinitis
• Fractures
• Ligament damage
• Muscle pain
• Joint injury

It has also been a frequent and widespread treatment to treat sports injuries among athletes and active patients.

Are PRP Injections Successful?

The first time you visit our chiropractic center, we sit down during a consultation to review the extent of your car accident injury. How effective the personal injury PRP therapy will depend on the damage, your medical history, and whether the injury is new, old, chronic, or acute.

If we recommend this treatment, you should expect to see significant improvement after a few weeks to a few months. You’re likely to have more than one injury after the crash. For optimal results, your specialist might pair it with a chiropractic adjustment or physical therapy.

Note: Those with low platelet counts, anemia, cancer, or infection need approval from their primary doctor.

How Does It Work?

Before our doctors administer this type of car accident treatment in Los Angeles, they draw blood from your body. Then we use a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from your blood. Once done, it will get re-injected into the injury site. Depending on the severity, we will numb the area before doing so.

For example, if you have a shoulder injury, we will administer more than one injection into the area. It’s not uncommon for some doctors to incorporate ultrasound technology for direct insertions. Your body has endured enough.

Each PRP injection for car accidents at our chiropractic center is meant to be a straightforward, timesaving, direct approach. You can expect to see improvements after the first few sessions. It may not seem so now, but the body is strong enough to heal naturally. Your cells will renew and repair the internal damage as the injections break down.

Keep This in Mind Before You Get PRP Injections:

• Stop taking blood thinner medications, as recommended by your specialist
• Your doctor might encourage you to take a quick break from vitamins and supplements that interfere with treatment
• Before getting your blood drawn, keep hydrated and eat before the procedure.
• PRP injections will not have severe side effects!
• Refrain washing the injured area for 48 hours after injection.
• You might notice light bruising and experience soreness.

Often, PRP therapy does not get covered under specific health insurance plans. The general price of injections is between $250 to $1,500 per session, according to WebMD. We will work with you to establish an affordable, full-coverage plan.

At Advanced Spine we also accept personal injury liens for patients pursuing a car accident lawsuit, meaning we offer a promise of payment while you get treated.
