Cervical Spine Treatment

Service Description

Chronic neck pain, headaches, or a sense that your neck feels “loose” or unstable may be signs of cervical spinal instability. This condition occurs when the ligaments and soft tissues that support the upper spine (especially between C1–C7 vertebrae) become stretched, weakened, or injured. At Road Back to Health in St. George, Utah, we use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to help the body repair and strengthen those tissues—naturally, without surgery. Cervical instability can develop after: Whiplash or traumatic neck injury Repetitive strain (looking down at devices, poor posture, athletic overuse) Degenerative changes from arthritis Connective tissue laxity or ligament weakening When the ligaments that hold the vertebrae in alignment become lax, the cervical spine can shift excessively. This can irritate surrounding nerves, cause muscle tension, headaches, dizziness, or radiating pain. PRP therapy uses your own blood to promote healing. A sample of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. These concentrated platelets are then injected precisely into the injured ligaments and soft tissues of the neck. At Road Back to Health, all PRP injections are performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure the PRP is placed exactly where the tissue damage exists. This precision targeting helps optimize results and avoid unnecessary discomfort. Once injected, the PRP triggers a natural healing cascade, encouraging new collagen growth that tightens, strengthens, and stabilizes the affected ligaments. Over time, this improved support can reduce pain, restore range of motion, and protect nerves and muscles from ongoing irritation. Schedule your consultation today to learn how PRP and ultrasound-guided regenerative therapy can help you stabilize your spine, reduce pain, and restore function—naturally. At Road Back to Health in St. George, Utah, we want every patient to feel safe and comfortable throughout their procedure. For those who may need additional relaxation or pain management, prescription and sedation options are available. These services are provided by a licensed private contractor who specializes in patient sedation. Fees for these services are additional and separate from the procedure cost, and can be discussed during your consultation.
