What are some types of regenerative treatments for the spine?

Depending on your condition, Dr. Seifert may recommend any of a variety of regenerative treatments for the spine. Examples include:

Prolotherapy: This treatment involves injecting a substance into the affected area to cause an inflammatory response at the site. This, in turn, promotes natural healing and the formation of new blood vessels. The goal of prolotherapy is to strengthen torn or injured soft tissue and reduce pain.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): Taken from your own blood, platelet-rich plasma accelerates healing and promotes tissue repair by injecting a concentration of platelets into the affected area. PRP is a long-lasting solution.
