When you experience pain in your spine, simple activities, like walking the dog or getting in and out of a car can affect your quality of life. Our doctors in St Petersburg, Florida, believe back pain should not affect your daily life and you should have access to non-surgical alternatives for pain relief. That's why we provide non-invasive regenerative medicine treatments for acute and chronic conditions of the spine.
Spinal problems affect your mobility, often limiting your ability to move. Common back pain symptoms include:
- Muscle aches
- Stabbing pain in the lower back that reduces your flexibility
- A tingling or burning sensation in the spine
- A dull ache in the lower back, or sharp pain
Other back pain symptoms include pain or weakness that runs down your leg, hip, or feet. While you want to get fast and effective pain relief, you should always aim to avoid surgery unless your doctor says it's necessary.
What are the risks of surgery? Surgical complications include:
- Long-term pain
- An infection, which can delay the healing process
- Blood Clotting
- Urinary tract infection
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia
Platelet-rich Plasma Injections for Pain Relief (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy combines modern technology and your body's natural abilities to heal your sore back. Your blood is composed of red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets, rich in growth factors and therapeutic proteins. These platelets stimulate cellular growth and healing for all-natural pain relief of your lower spine pain.

- Joint pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Muscle injuries like a strain or tear in the muscles and ligaments
