Neck Pain Q & A

What are the Most Common Causes of Neck Pain?

Neck pain commonly develops from sprains and strains due to a sports injury or your everyday activities. Many patients suffer from “tech neck” caused by spending too much time using their phone or laptop. Bending your head to look down at a screen places a lot of strain on your neck.

Other causes of neck pain include:

Whiplash
Arthritis
Herniated disc
Cervical disc degeneration
Pinched nerve
Narrowing of the spinal canal

If you suffer from neck pain, you can get relief from the regenerative therapies available at Bluetail Medical Group.

What is Regenerative Cellular Therapy?

To administer regenerative cellular therapy, your Bluetail physician injects adult regenerative cells into the damaged tissues in your neck. The cells continuously replicate themselves, dividing then developing into the musculoskeletal tissues needed to heal your injury.

As regenerative cells regenerate muscle, bone, tendon, ligaments, and blood vessels, the new cells replace the injured and diseased tissues in your neck.

When you undergo regenerative cellular therapy, your adult regenerative cells are used for the injection. Your doctor at Bluetail Medical Group extracts adult regenerative cells from bone marrow in your hip and uses ultrasound imaging to carefully and precisely inject them into your neck.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelets, which are naturally found in your bloodstream, contain proteins called growth factors. Growth factors are essential for healing because they trigger new tissue growth and reduce inflammation.

PRP contains a higher concentration of platelets than the amount typically found in your blood. When PRP is injected into injured neck tissues, it alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and heals the targeted tissues by regenerating new cells.

Your PRP injection is always safe because it’s produced in the office by drawing your blood and using a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy triggers your body’s healing response with an injection of substances such as dextrose (sugar water) and saline (salt water), which are very safe yet irritate tissues just enough to trigger the healing response. Your body automatically sends platelets and their growth factors to the site, where they repair tissues.
