Alternatives for Non-Surgical Back Pain Treatment in Hollywood

Most people would prefer an alternative to surgery. Surgery is not only invasive, but it can take weeks to recover. In this day and age, people don’t have weeks to take from their busy lives just to heal severe cases of back pain. In most people’s minds, back pain is an element of life that merely comes with getting older, having a full-time job, and raising children. What people don’t know, however, is that back pain is not normal by any means. That leads individuals to search for non-surgical back pain treatment in Hollywood. At the Florida Pain Center, it’s our goal to help give people searching for release an alternative option. In this article, we’ll give you a few of the most popular procedures we have. Perhaps there will be a treatment method that you feel fits well for your situation! 

Trigger Point Injections 

First and foremost, let’s understand what trigger points are. Trigger points are balls of tissue that form in the neck region, shoulders, and even occasionally in the back. Usually, the trigger points are brought on by significant amounts of stress. The overwhelming sensation of having too much emotionally on one’s plate can lead to hunching shoulders, poor posture, and consistent fight or flight mode. While it seems as though this stress is what can get a person through almost anything, the reality is that stress is one of the leading causes of disease, sickness, and even premature death. To avoid letting your trigger points get out of hand, the experts at the Florida Pain Center offer trigger point injections. The procedure is incredibly short and non-invasive. The solution is injected into the site causing severe pain. There, the solution allows the pent-up tissue to relax, which then brings less pain. 

PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy  

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP, is one of the most incredible solutions out there targeting pain management and severe aches. The science is astounding, as the body truly has an innate ability to heal on its own, given the right opportunity. A prime example would be when you receive a papercut. Instantly you grab your finger and examine the small cut. From there, you wince for perhaps an hour, and then you forget about it. The white blood cells in your body have been racing to repair the intrusive cut. The same method applies to PRP. Platelet-rich plasma cells are extracted from bone marrow, usually in the hip. The cells are then put in a machine called a centrifuge, which essentially spins the cells very quickly. From there, it separates the platelet-rich cells, from the normal cells. Those platelet rich elements are placed in a syringe and injected into the area that is causing pain. The cells work rapidly to help repair injuries, tissue, and so much more! Like trigger point injections, the procedure is short.
