Santa Monica residents seeking alternatives to surgery and long-term medication are finding answers at Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A.—just a short drive from the beach to Beverly Hills. Under the expert care of Dr. Padra Nourparvar, patients from Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Venice, Marina del Rey, and the Westside discover science-backed regenerative therapies designed to reduce pain, restore function, and accelerate natural healing.
I had both stem cells and PRP done. I have been suffering from lower back pain for over 12 weeks and it wasn’t getting better. After trying cortisone shots, physical therapy and chiropractic, I found rescue at Dr. Nourparvar’s. He gives you a thorough examination and the stem cell or PRP treatment suggested is for the most comprehensive approach, pursuing the best health benefit.
I highly recommend this doctor.
