Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative health treatment that utilizes natural healing elements within your body to reduce pain-causing inflammation and heal damaged tissue.
During PRP treatment, the doctors at STEMS Health first isolate the growth factors and healing proteins, including PDGF (Platelet-Drivered Growth Factor) and TGF(Transforming Growth Factor), cytokines, and bioactive proteins within the blood sample. Your doctor will inject the PRP sample directly into the target region of the lower back using the latest imaging tools to guide the injection into the region at the source of your pain.

When you call STEMS Health’s office to discuss your back pain, we’ll explain your treatment options.
We’ll begin your consultation with a comprehensive medical history and an examination of your lower back. During your consultation, we may schedule an MRI to assess the disc and nerve involvement as a cause of your lower back pain.
Upon confirming the cause of the pain and determining you’re a viable candidate for PRP treatment, we’ll schedule your procedure. The procedure will begin by withdrawing 30 to 60 ml of blood from your arm to create the PRP injection.
We’ll then process the blood sample using a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma. Our team then uses a second centrifuge to concentrate the platelets ready for your procedure.
On the day of your PRP treatment, we’ll invite you to our cutting-edge treatment suite and explain the process. Your PRP doctor uses a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area and then injects the PRP using fluoroscopy imaging to reach the targeted area of the back. You can expect the process to last one-to-two hours.
Your recovery process will comprise several stages:
Immediate Post-Treatment(Within 48 Hours)
Medium Term (Within One Month)
Long-Term (Within Six Months)
Dr. Ankeet Choxi and Dr. Jarred Mait bring decades of PRP diagnostic and treatment experience to your pain relief process. They’ll harness their extensive knowledge of regenerative medicine and build a tailored treatment plan specific to your lower back pain relief goals and functional recovery targets for the long term.

The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, including 30 minutes for blood draw and PRP preparation, 30 minutes for the injection process, and a brief post-procedure monitoring phase.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. To help support patient comfort, we use local anesthetic, advanced imaging guidance, and targeting techniques.
Most patients will receive 1-to-3 PRP injections spaced between 4 and 6 weeks apart. The precise number of PRP treatments depends primarily on the severity of your condition and your overall health status. At your initial consultation, we can complete a comprehensive diagnosis and explain the potential for building a lower back pain treatment plan unique to you.
Returning to work after your initial PRP injection depends on your working role. For example, you may return to a desk job within 1-to-2 days. But physical jobs require you to rest for at least 3 days before returning to your regular work duties. The STEMS Health team can make a recommendation based on your specific working role.
