Lawa’s Regenerative Medicine services may be considered for adults with selected musculoskeletal, nerve-related, or muscular concerns.
An evaluation may be appropriate if you:
Experiencing pain or physical limitation does not automatically mean that an injection is appropriate. Your provider must evaluate the likely source of your symptoms and discuss potential risks, limitations, alternatives, and expected follow-up before recommending a procedure.
Injection procedures should be recommended only after an appropriate medical evaluation.
Your provider will ask about your symptoms, how they affect daily activity, previous treatments, current medications, and relevant medical conditions. Existing laboratory results, imaging, or medical records may also be reviewed when appropriate.
Your consultation may include:
A consultation does not guarantee that a procedure will be recommended.
Platelet-rich plasma, commonly called PRP, is prepared from a sample of your own blood.
The blood sample is processed to separate and concentrate platelets within a portion of the plasma. The resulting preparation is then injected into the selected treatment area.
PRP contains platelets and associated growth factors involved in the body’s normal healing processes. How PRP is prepared, where it is injected, and whether it is appropriate depend on the concern being evaluated.
The procedure area may feel sore afterward. Your provider will explain what to expect, which activities to modify, and when to seek medical attention.
Research on PRP varies by condition and treatment area. Results are not guaranteed, and PRP should not be presented as a proven treatment for every injury or musculoskeletal concern.
Perineural Injection involves placing an injectable solution near selected superficial nerves or surrounding tissues.
A provider may consider this procedure when an evaluation suggests that nerve-related irritation may be contributing to discomfort or sensitivity. The treatment area, injection technique, and solution used should be selected according to the provider’s assessment.
Your appointment may include:
The number of injections and appointments varies. Some people may experience temporary tenderness, bruising, or discomfort around an injection site.
Your provider will explain the solution being used, the reason it is being considered, and the available evidence before you consent to treatment.
A trigger point is a sensitive area within a muscle that may feel tight or tender and may cause discomfort when pressed.
Trigger Point Injection places a small amount of an injectable solution into a selected trigger point. The solution used can vary, so your provider will explain what is being administered before the procedure.
Trigger point injections may be considered as one part of a broader care plan. Other recommendations may include physical therapy, movement changes, stretching, or additional medical evaluation.
A Trigger Point Injection visit may include:
Temporary soreness, bruising, bleeding, or discomfort may occur at an injection site. More serious complications are uncommon but possible with any injection procedure.
Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, allergies, and medical conditions before treatment.
You should also disclose:
Do not stop prescribed medication unless the prescribing healthcare professional tells you to do so.
Your provider will give you preparation instructions based on the procedure being considered.
