Our naturopathic services entail using many methods to help address problems such as pain management, digestive health, low thyroid, hormone imbalances, and more. These methods can include using IV therapy, lifestyle modifications, and regenerative injection therapies.
PRP and Prolotherapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Prolotherapy are effective treatments if you have an acute injury that is not healing in a timely fashion or long term degenerative joints that ache and feel unstable. The average number of PRP/ Prolotherapy treatments is 1-3 sessions with the end-point being patient satisfaction and optimal pain reduction
Prolotherapy works by injecting a natural irritant solution, a combination of dextrose and procaine, mild inflammation is triggered to give the body a second chance at healing the degenerated or injured ligament or tendon. The inflammation generates new, healthy and stronger tissue to reduce chronic and nagging pain.
PRP is blood plasma containing highly concentrated platelets involved in injury healing. A small amount of blood is taken from the patient, processed in our lab to concentrate out the growth factors and small amounts of stem cells. The PRP is then injected into the damaged or painful area where it stimulates and triggers the healing cascade.
