IV therapy and Vitamin Shots are effective methods to deliver essential nutrients, vitamins, and medications directly into the body.

IV therapy provides rapid absorption, allowing for immediate benefits in hydration, energy, and overall wellness. This treatment can be customized to address specific health needs, including fatigue, immune support, and recovery from illness.

Vitamin Shots, offer a targeted approach for delivering medications and nutrients that may require a slower absorption rate.

Both options are designed to optimize your health and enhance your body’s natural functions, ensuring you feel your best.

Trigger point injections are effective for alleviating myofascial pain and addressing pain referral patterns by releasing tight knots in your muscles. This treatment can be performed using an injection medium, typically a combination of anesthetic and dextrose (plant-based sugar), or through dry needling, which involves no substance at all.

Indications for treatment: myofascial pain, chronic pain points, headaches due to trigger points.

Perineural injection involves administering dextrose (a plant-based sugar) just below the skin's surface to reduce inflammation and soothe irritated nerves. This treatment can help alleviate neuralgias, neuropathic pain patterns, and chronic pain. Additionally, perineural injections may be employed to decrease pain in preparation for deeper injections, such as prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy.

This safe treatment can provide pain relief lasting from hours to weeks. Most patients require a series of 6 to 8 visits to achieve substantial relief.

Indications for treatment: neuropathic pain, neuralgia, frozen shoulder, migraines, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve impingement and low back pain.

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy aimed at strengthening weak tendons and ligaments by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This treatment activates an inflammatory response in the targeted tissue, promoting collagen production and facilitating tissue repair. Most patients typically require a series of 2 to 8 visits to achieve optimal relief, although the exact number may vary depending on the type and severity of the injury. If injected into joint spaces, this treatment is performed under ultrasound guidance. As this treatment leverages the body’s natural healing capacity, it is most effective for patients who are in good overall health.

Indications for treatment: ligament and tendon injuries, cartilage damage or degeneration, osteoarthritis (stage 1-2), muscle damage, overuse injuries

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous regenerative injection therapy designed to strengthen weak tendons, ligaments, and degenerative joints. The treatment begins with an initial blood draw, followed by centrifugation to concentrate the platelets, which are then reinjected into the targeted area. PRP can be injected into tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joint spaces to promote tissue healing and enhance strength. Most patients typically require a series of 2 to 8 visits to achieve optimal relief, although the exact number may vary depending on the type and severity of the injury. If injected into joint spaces, this treatment is performed under ultrasound guidance. As this treatment leverages the body’s natural healing capacity, it is most effective for patients who are in good overall health.

Indications for treatment: chronic overuse injuries (ankles, knees and shoulder), osteoarthritis, tennis elbow or golfers elbow, ligament tears, rotator cuff tears, meniscal tears

Viscosupplementation involves the injection of hyaluronic acid into painful joints affected by osteoarthritis to enhance lubrication within the joint space. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid, and its levels tend to decrease as part of the aging process. This treatment can be beneficial for stiff joints and may be a suitable option for patients who do not qualify for or prefer not to undergo regenerative injections such as prolotherapy or platelet-rich plasma therapy. This treatment is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement within the joint spaces. Repeat injections may be needed every 3 to 6 months.

Indication for treatment: knee osteoarthritis

PRP hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a patient's own blood to isolate platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the scalp to help stimulate hair growth and improve hair density in people experiencing thinning or pattern hair loss. The treatment works by delivering growth factors directly to hair follicles, encouraging increased blood flow and prolonging the active growth phase of the hair cycle, potentially leading to thicker, stronger hair over several months.
