Platelet Lysate Epidural

Platelet Lysate Epidural

What is Platelet Lysate Epidural?

A platelet lysate epidural is an injection of a concentrated solution of platelets into the epidural space to treat pain and other conditions in the spine and nerves. Platelet lysate is a type of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

How Does it Work?

• Platelets are frozen and thawed to break them up and release their growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins.
• The solution is injected into the epidural space.
• The growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

What it's used for?

Platelet lysate epidurals can treat conditions like herniated lumbar discs, bulging discs, and lumbar radicular pain.

They can also help relieve pain in the buttocks and legs, and numbness and tingling in the legs or feet.

Benefits

Platelet lysate epidurals are a non-surgical alternative to traditional epidural steroid injections.

They can help patients avoid the side effects of high-dose epidural steroids.

Patients can often return to normal activities soon after the procedure.
