What is it?
Understanding Pain Management, Sports Medicine & Injection Therapy
Supporting Movement, Function & Recovery
Naturopathic medicine takes a whole-person approach to understanding the underlying factors that may be contributing to pain, dysfunction, and imbalance. Whether you're managing a degenerative condition, recovering from an injury, competing as an athlete, or simply wanting to stay active, the goal is to support more comfortable movement, greater mobility, and long-term function.
Your Personalized Path to Better Movement
Pain-focused naturopathic care begins with a thorough intake, including ultrasound and physical assessment, to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms. From there, your Naturopathic Doctor develops an individualized treatment plan using targeted therapies to support mobility, function, and more comfortable movement.
Treatment Options
Targeted Therapies for Pain, Mobility & Recovery
Joint
Arthrosamid® Injections
Arthrosamid® is a non-surgical injectable treatment for knee osteoarthritis that may help reduce pain and stiffness while supporting improved mobility and joint function.
It has been studied in patients with knee osteoarthritis, with clinical research evaluating pain, stiffness, physical function, treatment response, and long-term outcomes following a single injection.
Joint
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used to address joint issues, especially in the knee, by providing lubrication and reducing pain associated with arthritis or cartilage degeneration.
Pain
Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections are a targeted treatment used to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in specific areas of the body. They are often recommended for individuals dealing with chronic pain from conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, or back pain.
Steroid injections target the affected area with anti-inflammatory medication. By reducing inflammation, they help alleviate pain and improve mobility, enabling patients to resume daily activities with less discomfort. These injections are especially beneficial for conditions where inflammation plays a major role in pain.
Pain
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections help relax muscle knots and reduce inflammation in the affected area. By injecting a small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication directly into the trigger point, the injection helps break the pain-tension cycle. As the muscle loosens, pain relief usually follows, and patients often notice improved range of motion and greater comfort. Trigger point injections are often recommended for those experiencing chronic muscle pain, tension headaches, and certain types of referred pain.
Laser
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) uses specific light wavelengths to promote healing and reduce pain by boosting ATP (cellular energy) production. Trusted by professional athletes worldwide, we use Meditech's Bioflex Cold Laser System. This painless, Class 3B laser is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Treatments are performed by our licensed Naturopathic Doctors, who provide assessment, diagnosis, and comprehensive care plans, including dietary, supplementation, and exercise recommendations alongside your laser therapy.
Regenerative
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy, also known as proliferative therapy, is a medical treatment that involves injecting a solution into an area of the body to stimulate healing and repair of damaged or injured tissue. Often an entry-point and first-line of natural therapy for pain management.
Potential Benefits of prolotherapy:
- May reduce pain and inflammation in the treated area
- May improve function and mobility in the affected joint or limb
- May stimulate the body's natural healing processes
Regenerative
Perineural Injections
Perineural Injection Therapy is a treatment used for certain types of nerve-related pain. It involves injecting a dextrose (sugar) solution around a nerve and may help reduce pain and support improved function.
Regenerative
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP consists of two key elements: plasma, which is the liquid portion of blood, and formed elements including platelets, which play a vital role in healing throughout the body.
During a PRP procedure, a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn and then placed into a device called a centrifuge. The centrifuge rapidly spins the sample, separating the platelets from the other components of the blood and concentrating them within the plasma. This creates a platelet-rich plasma solution that is then injected into the targeted area*.
PRP therapy is used to increase the concentration of growth factors in a specific area of the body, which may accelerate the healing process and reduce pain. The growth factors in platelet-rich plasma may stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and may promote the growth of new blood vessels, among other benefits.
Precision & Safety
Ultrasound-Guided Treatment for Greater Accuracy
Our Naturopathic Doctors utilize ultrasound guidance to support clinical effectiveness and safety while helping reduce the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
Improved accuracy
Ultrasound guidance allows for real-time visualization of the injection site, which can improve accuracy and precision. This can help ensure that the medication is delivered to the intended location, which may support more effective pain relief.
Reduced risk of complications
Ultrasound guidance can help reduce the risk of complications associated with injection therapies, such as accidental puncture of nearby nerves or blood vessels. By visualizing the injection site in real-time, the clinician can ensure that the needle is properly placed and help avoid unintended damage.
Increased safety
Ultrasound guidance can help increase the safety of injection therapies by allowing the clinician to visualize the treatment area and needle placement in real time. This helps ensure that the medication is delivered to the intended location while avoiding sensitive surrounding structures.
Better patient outcomes
Ultrasound-guided injection therapies may result in improved patient outcomes, including pain relief and function. By delivering the medication to the intended location with greater accuracy, ultrasound guidance can support more targeted treatment.
