Amazing office and doctor! The doctor is very experienced and you get the correct diagnosis while the previous doctors were all missing the point and diagnosing wrong and recommending unnecessary procedures and surgery.
He is very good at doing a proper exam instead of just treating your chart or MRI. Many other doctors don’t even touch or examine you and put their trust in the mri and miss the correct diagnosis.
They use high quality stem cells, exosomes and PRP. He uses ultrasound to make sure the injection goes in the correct place.
You can get your cosmetic treatments for prp and stem cell facials also and you get a discount for combination same day treatment and venom and zelle treatment.
What is Cervical Facet Joint Pain?
The cervical facet joints are small, stabilizing joints located between the vertebrae of the neck. Injury, arthritis, or degeneration of these joints can cause localized pain, stiffness, and limited neck movement. Symptoms typically include:
- Persistent neck pain that may worsen with movement
- Headaches and shoulder discomfort
- Tenderness around the neck and upper back
- Reduced range of motion in the cervical spine
Accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment are key to managing cervical facet joint pain effectively.
Regenerative Treatment Options for Cervical Facet Joint Pain
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP harnesses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in damaged facet joints.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells sourced from bone marrow or adipose tissue aid regeneration of cartilage and soft tissues, promoting lasting joint health.
These minimally invasive treatments are outpatient procedures performed with precise imaging guidance to maximize safety and efficacy.
