Advancements in Treatments for Arthritic Pain

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections may help relieve joint pain and improve mobility, with benefits that can last for months.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects millions of adults, particularly those over age 65. But arthritis isn’t limited to older adults. Osteoarthritis can develop earlier in life, affecting the joints and making everyday movements increasingly uncomfortable. As people age, the likelihood of developing arthritis increases.

Arthritis develops as cartilage and other joint tissues change over time. The body’s ability to maintain and repair these tissues can decline with age, contributing to stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort. Whether it’s sore thumb joints while texting, pain when opening a jar or shaking hands, or stiff knees and feet when getting out of bed, these symptoms can make even simple daily activities more difficult.

Fortunately, treatment options are available. At RegenCen, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections offer a regenerative approach to managing joint discomfort. The PRF Mobility Shot uses a concentrated preparation derived from the patient’s own blood, containing platelets and fibrin that play a role in the body’s natural healing processes.

PRF injections may help reduce discomfort and improve joint function for certain patients. Unlike steroid injections, PRF uses components from the patient’s own blood. While early research is promising, outcomes vary, and additional studies are needed to establish its long-term effectiveness for arthritis and tendon injuries.

Clinical experience with PRF and PRP injections has shown encouraging results for patients seeking relief from arthritis-related pain and stiffness. Some patients experience improvements in comfort and mobility that last for several months or longer, although individual results vary.

At RegenCen, PRF Mobility Shots provide an option for patients interested in exploring regenerative treatments for joint and tendon discomfort.
