Neck pain returns no matter what you try?
The issue may be instability - not tight muscles.
• You’ve had a neck injury
• You’ve been told “everything looks normal” — but you’re still in pain
• You’ve heard terms like craniocervical instability (CCI) or ligament damage
• You want to avoid surgery, steroid injections or long-term pain medication
• Muscles
• Spinal discs
• Neck alignment
But persistent neck injuries can be caused by loose or damaged ligaments that lead to instability in the cervical spine.
When the neck isn’t stable:
• Muscles overwork and tighten
• Nerves become irritated
• Pain keeps coming back
Stretching and steroid injections don’t fix instability.
We use Prolotherapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to help:
• Strengthen damaged neck ligaments
• Improve joint stability
• Support the body’s natural healing response
This approach is:
✔ Non-surgical
✔ Minimally invasive
✔ Designed for long-term improvement — not quick patches
Not everyone is a candidate for regenerative treatment.
If this isn’t the right path for you — we’ll guide you accordingly.
Prolotherapy works by injecting a dextrose solution into weak tissues. This activates the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and cellular repair activity. Over time, this can lead to thickening and strengthening of ligaments and tendons, improving their ability to support the joint.
By targeting the connective tissue responsible for stability, Prolotherapy focuses on the structural support of the cervical spine, rather than simply reducing pain signals. As stability improves, the neck can function more efficiently, and symptoms may gradually decrease.
PRP is a next level regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to support tissue repair. Platelets contain growth factors and signaling proteins that play a key role in healing. With PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate these platelets, which are then carefully injected into targeted areas. Once introduced, PRP delivers a high concentration of biological signals to promote collagen production and enhance the repair of weakened tissue. PRP is used when there is significant injury that Prolotherapy may not be able to fully repair.
As an NCAA gymnast, Dr. Egerter sustained injuries that traditional orthopedic treatments couldn’t fully resolve. From this place of frustration he began searching for modalities to improve human performance.
He studied with leading physicians around the country and residency training in Emergency Medicine, Neuromuscular Medicine, and Integrative Pain Medicine.
Dr. Egerter has lectured for AOA Prolotherapy and Regenerative Medicine, sharing his expertise in advanced regenerative techniques for performance and recovery.
