Harnessing the Body to Heal: PRP and Stem Cell Therapies After Injury

If you’re living with chronic back, neck, or joint pain after an injury, you may feel like you’ve tried everything. But what if your own body held the key to healing?

At McCarron Law Firm, we want more than compensation for our clients — we want them to live their best, pain-free lives. That’s why we stay informed about the most promising medical interventions available today. One exciting area of advancement is regenerative medicine, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapies.

What Are PRP and Stem Cell Therapies?

Both treatments harness the body’s natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain.

• PRP Therapy involves taking a small sample of your blood, concentrating on the platelets, and injecting them directly into the injured area. Platelets release growth factors that stimulate repair and reduce inflammation.
• Stem Cell Therapy uses special cells (often from your bone marrow or fat tissue) that can develop into various tissue types. When injected into the site of damage, these cells help regenerate cartilage, tendons, or other soft tissues.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and The Journal of Pain, regenerative medicine may provide relief for individuals with joint injuries, spinal disc problems, and soft tissue damage — especially when other treatments are not relieving your pain.

Why People Are Turning to Regenerative Therapies

Many people are drawn to PRP and stem cell treatments because they:

• Use your body’s own cells, reducing risk of rejection
• Are minimally invasive
• Promote healing, not just pain masking
• May delay or avoid surgery

While these treatments aren’t right for everyone — and results vary — they offer hope to those looking for alternatives to long-term medications or invasive procedures.
