PRP has also been shown to be effective for arthritis pain in the hip and knee with promising new data for shoulder and sacroiliac arthritis as well.

Maryland Pain Specialists now offers a NEW Treament called MILD - Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
MPS is excited to offer a new treatment for spinal stenosis causing back and leg pain and fatigue. Many people suffer from neurogenic claudication. When the spinal canal is too small it compresses the nerves running into the back and legs. Then when you stand or walk those nerves “complain” to the brain and you feel pain, fatigue, tiredness. When severe, claudication is life altering, keeping people from standing long enough to even grocery shop and cook. MPS successfully cares for many people with claudication using the standard treatments of epidural injections and medications. But unfortunately not everyone has long lasting relief. For those people who need further treatment Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression or MILD is a new treatment available. MILD has been shown to be effective and long lasting. Studies show that the relief lasts at least 2 years. We’d be happy to discuss it with you to schedule an appointment. Learn more about MILD - Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
