PRP Injection for Trades Workers in Los Angeles

Tradespersons are highly susceptible to chronic pain due to thephysically demanding nature of their work, yet immerse themselves in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) as a means to enhance quality of life outside of work. For instance, research indicates that 70% of surveyed construction workers who engage in LTPA report living with musculoskeletal pain. This particular study draws attention to something important, especially among Los Angeles area tradespersons who are generally more active outside of work than those located in many other locales around the nation. They place great value on recreational activities, despite being immersed in physically demanding work that renders them with disproportionately higher rates of chronic pain.

To combat chronic pain to clear the path for LTPA (and greater productivity) they look towards modern medical treatments. Many hope to avoid prescription painkillers, which is a potentially harmful crutch. While physiotherapy can be beneficial, it is not as effective for some as others. It’s these individuals (yourself included?) who seek out platelet rich plasma. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections offer trades workers a non-surgical, rapid recovery option for work-related musculoskeletal injuries. By injecting a high concentration of a patient’s / client’s own platelets, PRP accelerates natural healing, reduces inflammation, and allows for a quicker return to physical activities and duties.
