Low Back Pain in Newport Beach

Living with back pain can be a real PAIN!

The World Health Organization reported that Up to 84% of adults worldwide experience back pain at some point in their lives. In 2020, low back pain (LBP) affected 619 million people globally and it is estimated that the number of cases will increase to 843 million cases by 2050, driven largely by population expansion and advanced age.

Factors that can increase the risk of back pain include:

Age: Back pain becomes more common with age, especially after age 45.
Weight: Being overweight can put extra stress on the back.
Physical activity: People who are not physically fit or who exercise too strenuously after being inactive are more likely to experience back pain.
Poor posture: Sitting or standing with poor posture can increase the risk of back pain.
Job: Jobs that involve heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or twisting can injure the back.
Stress: Chronic stress, depression, or anxiety can increase the risk of back pain.
Smoking: Smoking can increase the risk of back pain due to coughing, decreased blood flow to the spine, and increased risk of osteoporosis.
Health conditions: Some types of arthritis and cancer can contribute to back pain.

How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections with an Regenerative Orthopedic Solutions provider can help"

When tissue injury occurs, the body’s natural healing process begins with inflammation. Our clinical grade PRP injection yields grate platelets. Platelets gather at the injury site to stop bleeding and release growth factors that signal other cells to start the healing process. By super concentrating these platelets and injecting them directly into the injured or damaged area, we can enhance this initial healing step. This targeted delivery of healing-stimulating chemicals significantly boosts your body’s natural ability to repair itself. PRP injections are very safe. You might experience mild pain, stiffness, or swelling initially, but as the initial inflammatory phase subsides, the healing process accelerates. While any medical procedure carries a small risk of infection, using your own blood minimizes this risk.

Back pain be it acute or chronic hurts and some times consistently. Connective tissue, which includes cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, plays a crucial role in cushioning, stabilizing, and supporting our joints. Cartilage can be damaged by sudden improper movements or gradually worn away due to overuse and misalignment. Accidents, sports injuries, or repetitive strain can cause ligaments and tendons to tear or lose elasticity, becoming like frayed ropes or lax rubber bands. While full or complete tears often require surgical repair, micro-tears and general loss of tensile strength are more common. Weakened ligaments and tendons place significant strain on the affected areas and joints, leading to pain, dysfunction, arthritis, cartilage damage, and other chronic issues.

In addition to chronic pain, key symptoms indicating ligament or tendon damage may include:

Joint instability or weakness
Swelling or inflammation
Reduced range of motion
Persistent discomfort during or after physical activity

Sometimes due to back pain, the way we walk or hold our pain also causes damages to other parts of our body.

By addressing these issues with PRP/Stem Cells, we can help the body repair damaged connective tissue, restoring function and alleviating pain.
