PRP method for discogenic issues
Discogenic
pain is sourced from damaged vertebral disc which in turn is damaged due to
degenerative disc disease. However it might be noted that not all degenerative
discs cause pain. This disease occurs naturally with age mostly after the age
60.
Non
surgical methods such as pain medication and physiotherapy are employed to
treat this pain. Chronic pain is severe and limits the patient’s ability to
function, thus requiring surgery. Discography is employed to confirm pain that
comes from a specific disc.
Lumbosacral
discogenic pain results in axial low back pain and arises from facet joints,
spinal muscles and ligaments. The pain which occurs due to wear and tear in the
spinal disc is characterized by weakness, numbness and shooting pains in the
arms and legs. Severe herniated disc in the lower back and neck might cause
paralysis. It may also begin from a trauma like car accident for instance.
The spinal
degeneration begins with deterioration and curvature which signifies
misalignment. The weakness of ligaments and spinal muscles are followed by
dehydration of spinal discs resulting in shrinking of size. The joint surfaces
get roughened and mobility is reduced. Bone spurs grow and the spinal canal is
narrowed. Known as spinal stenosis, this condition causes pain and numbness.
PRP or
platelet rich plasma uses one’s own blood platelets minimize pain that
originates from conditions such as disc bulges, degenerative disc disease and
disc tears. Besides PRP method also relieves pain occurring due to arthritis of
spine and treats knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and foot pain.
The
platelets contain antibacterial proteins which migrate to the injury sites and
release growth factors such as vascular endothelial, epidermal, transforming,
platelet derived, hepatocyte, insulin like, basic fibroblast and connective
tissue growth factor which enhance tissue proliferation.
PRP also
has contraindications and cannot be employed for conditions such as active
infection, skin disease or bleeding disorders. The method has proven themselves
for as effectual treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. The endogenous
healing process stimulates recruitment, proliferation and differentiation of
cells that are required to be regenerated.
PRP is
effective for spinal stenosis, back and neck injuries and pain, torn rotator
cuffs, tennis elbow, painful tendons, muscle and ligament sprains and injuries,
ankle injuries, tendinitis, carpal tunnel and osteoarthritis in hips, spine,
shoulder and knees.
Dr
Karunakaran, spine
specialist in Chennai, is backed by 22 years expertise in spine treatment and performs PRP
treatment for discogenic issues.
Blood is
taken from the patients and processed to concentrate the platelets. The
platelet rich blood is inserted through a syringe into the painful discs with X
ray guidance. Growth factors are activated and repair the tissue. The platelet
rich plasma fills and seals the tears on the exterior of the disc. The PRP
treatment lasts for 30 minutes, where blood is drawn from the arm and PRP gets
back into the body.
PRP has
proven results since 2011 and are found beneficial in treat acute injuries,
hamstring injuries, patellar tendon strain and partial patellar tendon tear.
After PRP treatment one could return to routine activities but should not wash
or apply lotions on treatment area for 48 hours and must avoid strenuous
activities for few weeks.
