Description
Low back pain is an increasing issue in the world. Current treatment of low back pain includes physical rehab, pharmaceutical pain control, steroid injections, and spine surgery. Regenerative medicine has recently become an option for treatment of low back pain. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is one of the options that falls into this treatment. PRP is an autologous source that contains multiple growth factors and cytokines that can promote tissue healing and regeneration. There has been a great amount of research done on PRP and intradiscal low back pain therapy that has shown promising results. However there has been limited research on PRP and lumbar facet arthropathy. This literature review set out to determine the effects PRP injection on intra articular back pain.
