This study explores the safety and effectiveness of a single injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) as a treatment for chronically painful cervical facet joints post-motor vehicle collision.
At 3 months post treatment, significant improvements in pain and disability were experienced by the majority of peopele treated and no complications were encountered.
Chronic pain in the facet joints is common following whiplash injury and often resistant to conventional treatments. Using a patient’s own blood plasma we can use a single platelet rich plasma injection as an effective method of treating chronic pain in the facet joints.
Lingering facetogenic neck pain from whiplash injury can be challenging to address. PRP should be considered as a viable option.
