Head, Neck & Back

Head, Neck and Back Pain

Treating Headaches, Neck and Back Pain
With Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Prolotherapy
Serving the Phoenix Area from Scottsdale, Arizona

Falls, sports injuries, whiplash, even minor bumps, and twists may damage your spine’s tendons, ligaments, and discs.

Together these tissues form a structural network that holds your head and torso erect. To stay stable after an injury, your muscles substitute, becoming overworked and causing pain (in your neck, upper back or scapula), muscle spasms, headaches, migraines, or tingling down your arm. Our patients come from cities across the nation to visit our Scottsdale clinic to treat their headaches, neck and back pain with platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy and/or prolotherapy injections.

Headaches

Headaches are often triggered by tendonitis of the occipital tendons at the base of the skull, which hold the head erect. When they fatigue, muscle spasms, headaches, and migraines may result. Our doctors use platelet rich plasma and/or prolotherapy injections to treat headaches and migraines.

Neck pain

Neck pain and muscle spasms are often caused by old whiplash injuries that loosened the ligaments supporting the neck. The pain may persist for years without proper neck pain treatments. Our doctors use platelet rich plasma and/or prolotherapy injections to treat acute and chronic neck pain. PRP therapy and prolotherapy can be used to effectively treat and heal neck pain caused by weak or injured ligaments.

Back Pain

Lower Back Pain

Low back pain is often caused by sprained sacroiliac and lumbar ligaments and responds well to prolotherapy, a popular treatment that our clinic offers for back pain relief. Lumbar disk degeneration that has not been resolved by other therapies can often be helped by PRP and traction. Low back pain is also often caused by repetitive strain of the sacroiliac (SI) joint ligaments. Low back pain may be the most common of all disabling injuries. An unstable SI joint destabilizes the entire spine and aggravates most back pain, including sciatica.

Upper Back Pain

Chronic upper back pain and trapezius muscle spasms are common and result from a sprained first rib, often caused by a fall on an outstretched arm that injures the shoulder and the ligaments at the junction of the neck and rib cage.

Our doctors use platelet rich plasma and/or prolotherapy injections to treat lower and upper back pain. PRP therapy and prolotherapy can be used to effectively treat and heal back or spinal pain caused by weak or injured ligaments.
