@elite.relief.md: Her back pain only needs treating once a year 👇 Dr. Kelly is about to inject this patient's mid back with something made from her own blood. This is what's in the syringe 👇 🩸 What PRP actually is PRP stands for platelet rich plasma We draw a small amount of your own blood and spin it down until the platelets are concentrated What goes back in came from your own body 🔬 How it helps Platelets are what your body sends to an injury to start repairs They carry growth factors that signal tissue to heal Concentrating them and placing them right at the painful area puts far more of that signal where you need it The goal is to help the tissue itself 💉 How it's different from a cortisone shot Cortisone calms a flare for a while and the tissue stays as it was PRP goes after the tissue causing the pain ⏳ What it's looked like for this patient She has chronic back pain and comes in about once every year to year and a half PRP controls her symptoms that whole stretch, and she keeps improving When pain starts to return in a different area, we treat that area with PRP too 🏥 What it's not No hospital stay No incision Elite Relief MD | Dr. Kelly DeSouza, MD | Double board-certified interventional pain management | Davie, FL | Serving South Florida
