Questions
Welcome to the FAQ page for Non-Surgical Pain Specialists.
Dr Haber specializes in non-opioid treatments, including PRP and prolotherapy. We understand that you may have questions and concerns about these treatments, so we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help address them.
Q: What is PRP?
A: PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is a treatment that involves extracting a small amount of your own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into your body at the site of your pain. The platelets contain growth factors that can help stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
Q: What conditions can be treated with PRP?
A: PRP can be used to treat a range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and chronic pain.
Q: Is PRP safe?
A: Yes, PRP is generally considered safe. Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of infection or rejection.
Q: What is prolotherapy?
A: Prolotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting a solution, typically a sugar-based solution, into the site of your pain. The solution is designed to irritate the tissue and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Q: Is prolotherapy safe?
A: Yes, prolotherapy is generally considered safe. However, as with any medical treatment, there are some risks associated with the procedure, including pain, swelling, and infection.
Q: How long does it take to see results from PRP or prolotherapy?
A: The length of time it takes to see results from PRP or prolotherapy can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some patients may experience immediate relief, while others may require several weeks or months of treatment before they begin to notice significant improvements.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: The number of treatments required will vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Our specialist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and medical history.
Q: Will I be able to return to my normal activities while undergoing PRP or prolotherapy treatment?
