PRP Injections for Hand Pain and Injury in Los Angeles

The hands are the most exposed below-the-neck part of the body. Consequently, they are prone to acute contact injuries such as lacerations and burns. However, they are also highly vulnerable to chronic issues due to their incredibly complex and delicate structure. The hands are comprised of many small bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons, which when combined with constant daily use become susceptible to chronic pain resulting from repetitive motion injuries and compression of nerves, which are frequently aggravated by repetitive tasks like typing, gripping, and various other daily activities.

As someone who is frustrated by chronic hand pain and seeking an alternative to prescription or over-the-counter painkillers – which are not sustainable solutions – you have conducted research and have read/heard about platelet rich plasma PRP for hands. The process uses a patient’s (your) own concentrated blood platelets to accelerate healing in injured or arthritic tissues. By injecting these growth factors directly into damaged joints, tendons, or ligaments of the hands, inflammation is reduced and tissue regeneration is stimulated to provide long-lasting pain relief. The procedure is fairly quick, taking about 30-minutes in total. Details regarding the cost of specialized PRP treatment for hands can be found here.
