Post-Op

  • You will be numb in the areas treated for 2-4 hours after the procedure.
  • Due to the numbness, we ask that you refrain from any strenuous activities but to stay mobile.
  • After the anesthesia wears off, you may resume activities to tolerance of pain.

  • You will experience some pain and soreness for 2-5 days after your treatment. The initial inflammatory phase last 7 days and secondary phase can last 14 days.

  • No anti-inflammatory medication (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve) should be used for 4-6 weeks after treatment.

  • Tylenol for pain, Ice as needed for pain and/or swelling (10-20 minutes to cool the skin, repeat every 2-3 hours)

  • Follow a program for flexibility and core strength to rehabilitate and correct any imbalances in the kinetic chain.
  • You may experience the “roller coaster” syndrome where you feel great one day and for no apparent reason the area treated starts to hurt again, this is normal in the healing process.
  • The platelets are active for several weeks and it can take up to 6 months for normal collagen to form and heal completely.
  • Our goal is 80% improvement in pain, so you may or may not need more than 1 treatment to reach that goal. Sometimes a series of 2-3 treatments are needed to achieve complete healing. If subsequent treatments are needed, they are usually performed 4-5 weeks apart.
