PRP Injection for Veterans in Los Angeles
Active and retired members of the military are all too familiar with musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. Whether sustained in training or overseas conflict, living with related conditions can negatively impact one’s career (active) and quality of life in retirement (veterans).
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) attempts to provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary chronic pain management for veterans, with a focus on non-opioid, “whole health” approaches. Services include specialized pain teams, physical therapy,
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-CP), acupuncture, and innovative treatments like virtual reality. With Los Angeles County having the largest population of U.S. retired military of any county in the nation, with an estimated 197,579 to over 280,000 veterans, the demand for alternative and supplementary treatments for managing pain is louder here than anywhere.
One approach that is gaining traction is platelet rich plasma PRP injection for veterans. An early study completed in 2020 showed promising results for military drill injury:
“Clinical trials have also confirmed the application value of PRP in promoting repair, relieving pain and providing some functional benefits, such as osteoarthritis, synovitis, and refractory wounds. In the future, PRP may be a potential auxiliary therapy for military drill injury.”
Word spread fast after initial results indicated the benefits of PRP injections for veterans. For instance, in Kansas, a non-profit organization called Shots for Soldiers has been established to spread awareness and increase access to platelet rich plasma treatment for veterans in the Sunflower State. While no similarly- matched NPO exists for California, active military and veterans residing within (or are able to travel to) Los Angeles County can receive PRP injections to treat chronic pain. This service is available at TOMI Regenerative Medicine.
