We Understand Pain

 

Pain is an invisible illness that can be hard for others to believe. Our doctors have treated thousands of people with acute and chronic pain. We understand the profound impact that pain can have on your life.

If you are suffering from chronic or acute pain that is preventing you from doing your normal activities, injection treatments can significantly reduce your pain, or sometimes cure your pain. 

Many of our patients improve even after they have done extensive physiotherapy, IMS, acupuncture, massage therapy, or chiropractic treatments.

We treat pain from the following causes: muscles, myofascial, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. The most common type of injection we perform is trigger point injections, which is fully covered under MSP.

 

Our injections are performed under real-time ultrasound guidance when required.


Our Injections

Our Pain Management Injections


Trigger point injections, nerve blocks, and fascia hydrodissection are covered under MSP. They make up about 90% of our injections. We always try to solve your problem with MSP-covered services first.

Regenerative therapies such as PRP and prolotherapy are not covered under MSP. Your doctor will provide you with a quote of the cost after we assess the complexity of your case.

Minimal Steroids

 

We have a steroid-sparing approach because repeated injections of cortisone steroid can have long-term side effects. Instead, we treat the underlying muscle imbalances that have caused your pain in the first place.

We do this using a combination of trigger point injections and rehabilitation exercises.

Only 1 in 100 of our treatments include injection of cortisone steroids.
