How does pain work?
They detect damage to your tissues and send a message to your spinal cord that goes to your brain telling you that you’ve been hurt. Sudden pain from injuries is often accompanied by a reflexive response, like pulling your foot off of a sharp object on the floor after stepping on it. Experiencing any type of pain interferes with your movement and your energy.

He asks about the onset of the pain, conditions of the accident, and any underlying medical conditions you have previously been diagnosed with. In general, acute pain requires quick, injury-based treatment while chronic pain often requires you to treat the underlying health issue first.
How can I manage my pain?
Dr. Sharp offers innovative healing treatments using Regenerative Medicine, Platelet
Rich Plasma (PRP) and Trigger Point therapies.
PRP injections
PRP injections use the platelets from your own blood to heal the injuries and inflammation
that cause your pain. Platelets are responsible for regenerating tissue after an injury, so a
PRP injection speeds up the healing process. Learn more about PRP here.
Trigger Point Injections
Many times, such knots can be felt under the skin. Trigger points may irritate the nerves around them, and cause referred pain, or pain that is felt in another part of the body. The goal of Trigger Point Therapy is to help relieve not only aching muscles and pain, but to help the body to heal the underlying condition causing the pain.
What is a Trigger Point?
Common conditions relieved by Trigger Point Therapy include:
- Joint Pain
- Tension Headaches
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
What is injected into the Trigger Point?
At Apex Health we provide several options to fit each individual patient’s need for pain relief including Wharton’s Jelly, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and/or Lidocaine, or Saline.
