Back Pain & Herniated Disc Treatment Without Surgery in Marbella

Muscle Strain & Ligament Sprain

Soft Tissue Injury

Acute or chronic overloading of the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. Poor posture, heavy lifting and sudden movements are frequent triggers. PRP therapy, using concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood, may help manage the inflammation associated with these injuries. Suitability and expected benefit depend on the specific diagnosis and duration of symptoms.

Muscle Inflammation

Neck & Upper Back Pain

Inflammation of the muscles in the neck and upper back causes stiffness, soreness and restricted movement - often resulting from poor posture, prolonged screen use, stress or sudden strain. PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets and growth factors and may help modulate the inflammatory process in the cervical and thoracic spine.

Lower Back Pain

Lumbar Pain

Persistent pain in the lumbar region can stem from muscle fatigue, facet joint irritation, disc degeneration or chronic inflammation. It is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal complaints globally and is often aggravated by prolonged sitting, bending or physical inactivity. Orthobiologic treatments such as PRP may be considered as part of a management plan, alongside rehabilitation, physiotherapy and other conventional approaches.

Herniated Disc

Slipped or Prolapsed Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness or weakness - often radiating into the legs or arms depending on the level affected. Surgical referral is common for persistent disc herniation, and the range of management options depends on the degree of disc damage, neurological involvement and duration of symptoms.

PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets and growth factors and may help reduce inflammation around the affected disc. Non-surgical options may be considered after assessment. PRP should not be presented as a proven way to prevent surgery or as a substitute for surgery when indicated.

Sciatica

Radiating Leg Pain from Lumbar Spine

Sciatica describes pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve - from the lower back through the hip and down one or both legs. It is a form of radiculopathy most commonly caused by a herniated disc or bone spur compressing the nerve root in the lumbar spine. Symptoms range from a mild ache to sharp, burning or electric-shock pain, sometimes accompanied by numbness or weakness in the leg.

PRP therapy may be considered as part of a non-surgical management plan for some patients, alongside rehabilitation. PRP does not reverse mechanical nerve compression, and suitability depends on a full assessment of the underlying disc or joint pathology.

Facet Joint Syndrome

Degenerative Facet Joint Disease

The facet joints connect the vertebrae of the spine and can become inflamed or degenerated through wear-and-tear, injury or poor posture. Facet joint syndrome causes localised back pain that often worsens with extension or rotation movements and may refer pain into the buttocks or thighs. PRP therapy may be considered for facet joint pain as part of a treatment plan; suitability and expected benefit depend on the specific diagnosis.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Pelvic & Lower Back Joint Inflammation

The sacroiliac joints connect the spine to the pelvis and can become inflamed or unstable through injury, pregnancy, leg length discrepancy or degeneration. SI joint dysfunction causes pain in the lower back, buttocks and sometimes the upper leg - and is frequently misdiagnosed as lumbar disc disease. PRP therapy may be considered for sacroiliac joint pain as part of a treatment plan; suitability and evidence depend on the specific diagnosis.
