Joint pain treatment refers to procedures and techniques used to alleviate joint pain, arthritic pains, discomfort, inflammation, strains and sprains, and other problems.

Joint Pain Treatment Options
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelets are special cells in the human blood that contain proteins called growth factors. The growth factors are responsible for your body’s natural healing and growth processes. When you’re injured or wounded, the growth factors increase blood circulation to the injured area and facilitate cellular regeneration to heal the wound.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative procedure wherein a small sample of your blood is harvested, the PRPs are purified in a centrifuge, and then injected into the affected joints. The entire process is simple and painless, involving nothing more invasive than injections. Once the PRPs are injected into the region with the affected joints, your body starts the healing process.
The growth factors in the PRP reduce inflammation and pain around the joints, alleviating the discomfort. They also heal and repair the surrounding tissues, activate the production of new blood vessels, and produce collagen, fat, muscle, and connective tissues. Over time, PRP therapy reverses the damage caused to your joints, restoring optimal functionality.
Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (A2M) Therapy
Alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M) therapy is suitable for patients with damaged joints and cartilages, which often results in arthritic pain. Cartilages are the slippery and soft discs that cushion the joints, allowing them to move without friction. Osteoarthritis occurs when these cartilages gradually get damaged and worn down due to age or injuries, leading to friction between the joints.
Alpha-2-macroglobulin is an enzyme that blocks the release of certain chemicals that eventually damage the cartilage. It captures and expels the harmful chemicals, known as proteases, thereby protecting the cartilages and joints. As such, A2M therapy can provide joint pain relief and address the root cause of the problem.
