Therapeutic injections are used to relieve joint pain and improve mobility. This treatment is ideal for clients ages 55+ who are suffering from osteoarthritis or seeking relief from injury caused by the wear and tear of joints due to aging. Most joint injections are non-invasive and require no recovery time. Clients can expect to leave the clinic feeling better than they did before and resume their regular activity after treatment, some treatments require rest for 1-2 days post procedure.
Results may vary depending on the individual needs of each client and it may take up to six weeks for the treatment to take its full effect.
CORTISONE INJECTIONS
Cortisone (steroid) Injections help to relieve pain and inflammation in a specific part of your body. Cortisone shots are effective in treating inflammatory arthritis, or to relieve pain in the joints, which may include the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, or wrist. The process for receiving this medical service will require an initial extensive client consultation followed by the development of a customized treatment plan.
VISCOSUPPLEMENT INJECTIONS
Viscosupplementation is a procedure involving the injection of a thick fluid, called hyaluronic acid, into the knee joint. Although research shows there is currently no cure for osteoarthritis, medical professionals believe hyaluronic acid can improve the lubricating properties of the synovial fluid, which can reduce the pain from osteoarthritis of the joint, improve mobility, and provide a higher and more comfortable level of activity. Results may vary depending on the individual needs of each client and it may provide between 6-10 months of temporary relief

This treatment is becoming increasingly popular as an all-natural treatment for a range of chronic musculoskeletal pain.

An irritant solution is injected into the damaged area to stimulate the body’s natural healing response to repair and grow new tissues. This treatment is ideal for athletes seeking recovery from a sports injury, or adults suffering from joint pain, immobility. **Spinal and SI joint injections are not offered at this time.
TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
Trigger points are knots in the muscles and injecting them with medications can help alleviate muscle pain and stiffness. This is often done in conjunction with massage, chiropractic treatment and physiotherapy. This aids in muscle stiffness, chronic headaches, neck pain, or an injury from a motor vehicle collision.
SCLEROTHERAPY
