Chronic pain affects millions of people and can greatly impact a person’s quality of life. Pain can interfere with sleep, mobility, productivity, and relationships and can cause chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping, irritability, anxiety, and depression.
Medications used to treat pain such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, narcotics, and steroids can have serious side effects affecting a person’s health and wellbeing. Many people do not realize that steroids that are commonly used to treat pain can actually cause more harm than good. Although steroids can provide immediate pain relief it is often temporary and can cause long term tissue damage.
Pain is generated from signals released from injured tissue. When the body is injured, it responds by sending repair cells to the area to heal the damaged tissue. If the body is not able to completely heal itself it can lead to chronic pain. Regenerative Medicine treatments focus on stimulating the body to heal itself and finish the healing process.
Case Study: Tracie was involved in a car accident 11/2020 and developed chronic neck and shoulder pain. She tried physical therapy, surgery, and steroid injections with little benefit. Her pain was interfering with her daily activities like housework, working from home, and caring for her two children. Tracie searched for alternative treatments for chronic pain since traditional treatments did not seem to help and she did not want to live her life in constant pain.
Tracie started her Regenerative Medicine Treatment plan at PRP Regeneration Specialists in Gainesville, Florida and three months later she had minimal to no pain, went back to school to further her education, is able to do chores around the house, and walk with her kids. Tracie said “There is life after injury” in her Google testimonial for PRP Regeneration Specialists.
