Ultrasound
A normal injection begins by collecting a blood sample from the patient. In order to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of whole blood, the blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge. This will separate the various layers of blood, such as white and red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. The platelet-rich section (orange in the picture to the right) is removed from the rest of the contents. Once the centrifuge is complete, the doctor, often using ultrasound as guidance for accuracy, will administer the PRP injection into the site of the injury.
MRI
This is ultimately decided on a case-by-case basis. The physician will use an MRI or Ultrasound result to determine the number of injections. Typically, the physician will suggest between 1 to 3 injections.

Pinched Nerve
Cervical epidural steroid injection relieves pain in the neck, shoulders and arms caused by a pinched nerve or nerves in the cervical spine. It helps alleviate pain from compressed nerves, which are a result of conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stensis, or radiculopathy.

Psoriasis
An epidural steroid injection is used in treating inflammatory neck pain and helps to heal a herniated disc. Steroids are an anti-inflammatory medication that is absorbed by inflamed nerves to decrease swelling and relieve pressure. Hence, they are commonly used to treat chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, severe asthma, lupus and psoriasis. An epidural steroid injection is an effective pain relief procedure that can be tried before resorting to surgery.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Pain can be so debilitating that it typically leads patients to consider invasive surgery. However, there is a procedure that allows certain patients to forgo surgery while achieving pain relief. PRP injection is a fairly simple outpatient treatment. While it has been in the news recently for its use in orthopedic sports medicine, PRP is used by every type of patient.
