How to Relieve Your Pain Naturally
With the cold weather on the horizon, it's common for the body to feel even more stiffness and pain. For those of us who already suffer with injuries or chronic pain, this season can be every more challenging. So, we want to let you know of about the natural pain management options we offer at the clinic so you don't have to rely on opiate pain medications, daily NSAIDs, or steroid shots.
Consistent use of NSAIDs (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for pain can cause numerous issues including increased risk of heart attacks, ulcers, and kidney damage. Opiate-based medications for chronic pain increases risk of bone fractures, cardiovascular disease, and addiction. There's another way.
Natural Pain Management
Many of our patients are told that cortisone (steroid) shots or opioids are their only options for pain relief. Our regenerative injection options give most patients better pain relief than cortisone injections without the side effects of cartilage loss and tissue damage.
We also utilize top Shockwave Therapy technology to give our patients a powerful regenerative non-injection option for healing. For patients who want the max results from each treatment, we often recommend combining both Shockwave Therapy and regenerative injections together.
PRP & A2M INJECTIONS
Powering Regeneration for More Severe Conditions
Both PRP and A2M are powerful, cutting-edge treatments that are especially effective for more severe injuries and arthritis. They work by concentrating natural healing and protective elements from your own body.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Derived directly from a sample of your own blood, PRP concentrates growth factors and healing proteins that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (A2M): Also derived from your own blood, A2M is a large plasma protein that acts as a "molecular vacuum cleaner," binding to and neutralizing the destructive enzymes that break down cartilage in joints.
A2M is particularly effective when inflammation is high because these destructive enzymes are most active during inflammatory flares. By neutralizing them, A2M stops the breakdown process, protecting the joint.
Combined Strength: We often recommend injecting PRP and A2M together. This combination maximizes both the regenerative effects of PRP and the powerful anti-inflammatory and protective effects of A2M, offering a comprehensive approach to healing. PRP can be added to A2M for no additional cost, making this combined treatment an excellent value for serious conditions.

Just one A2M injection four months ago for tendonitis in my ankle offered immediate relief and completely cured the condition.
