WHAT IS BACK OSTEOARTHRITIS?

Back arthritis, also known as spondylosis, is a degenerative condition that affects the joints and discs in the spine. It occurs when the cartilage and discs that cushion and support the vertebrae in the back gradually wear away, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

If you are experiencing symptoms of back arthritis, it’s essential to know that there are effective treatment options available, including advanced injection therapies offered by specialised clinics like London Bridge Regen Clinic.

SYMPTOMS OF BACK ARTHRITIS

The most common symptoms of back arthritis include:

  1. Pain: This may be a dull ache or a sharp pain in the back, especially during movement or when holding the back in one position for an extended period.
  2. Stiffness: The back may feel stiff, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
  3. Reduced mobility: As the condition progresses, it may become increasingly difficult to move the back through its full range of motion, affecting activities such as bending, twisting, or lifting.
  4. Radiating pain: Pain from back osteoarthritis can sometimes radiate to the hips, buttocks, or legs.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Treatments for back arthritis

At London Bridge Regen Clinic, we offer two advanced injection therapies for back osteoarthritis:

  1. Prolotherapy injections: Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution of dextrose and local anaesthetic into the affected area of the back to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, strengthening and repairing damaged tissues.
  2. Prolozone injections: Prolozone is a regenerative injection therapy that combines ozone gas with nutrients and vitamins to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation in the back.

YOUR SIMPLE 4 STEP JOURNEY

Step 1. Free Intial consultation

London Bridge Regenerative clinic gives every patient a free consultation with one of our injecting practitioners.  This includes a free ultrasound scan if required.

There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your issue in detail and the benefits and risks of the procedure.

STEP 2. PHYSICAL EXAM AND ULTRASOUND

We will perform palpation and orthopaedic tests to help confirm your diagnosis.  If required we may also perform a diagnostic ultrasound scan to assist in visualising the issue.  We may also refer you for an X-ray or MRI, depending on the examination findings.

We will allow time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.  We make sure you understand the advantages and risks with the procedure before going ahead.

STEP 3. Injection procedure

You’ll be given individual pre-injection advice to reduce your chance of bleeding or infection and support your recovery and aid healing

It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It’s also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after the procedure because they can disrupt the healing process.

A local anaesthetic is only needed for Cortisone, Prolotherapy, Prolozone, and Arthrosamid injections.

Arthrosamid also requires an antibiotic, which must be taken 2 hours before the procedure.

STEP 4: RECOVERY AND FOLLOW UP

Following the procedure, most individuals can return home and resume their normal activities. Our clinical team will be available to offer water and provide guidance on post-injection care.

For the next 48 hours, it’s advisable to refrain from strenuous activities and alcohol consumption. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t notice immediate effects; the duration until you experience a perceptible change depends on the specific injection administered.

A follow-up appointment or phone consultation will be scheduled after the course of treatment to review the progress.

INJECTION TREATMENT OVERVIEW

Both Prolotherapy and Prolozone offer unique benefits for patients with back osteoarthritis:

Prolotherapy injections work by triggering the body’s own healing response, stimulating the growth of new, healthy tissue in the affected area. This can help to stabilize and strengthen the back, reducing pain and improving function over time.

Prolozone injections harness the power of ozone to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief. Ozone has been shown to improve circulation, stimulate the production of growth factors, and modulate the immune system to support the body’s natural healing processes.

While both therapies aim to promote healing and reduce pain, Prolozone may provide more rapid pain relief due to the anti-inflammatory effects of ozone, while Prolotherapy may offer more long-term benefits by stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.

Both injection therapies are minimally invasive, requiring no surgery or lengthy recovery periods. They can help to reduce pain, improve back function, and delay the need for more invasive treatments like spine surgery.

At London Bridge Regen Clinic, our experienced healthcare professionals can help.
