Where is your pain?
Shoulders, necks, backs, knees, ankles, hips, and nerves can all be restored to pain-free function at an accelerated pace.
Let us help you by properly diagnosing and treating your pain directly at the source, allowing you to avoid costly surgeries.
Our Approach
Each of these nonsurgical options utilize the newest scientific technology combined with the body’s own healing capabilities to rapidly heal damaged tissue from the inside out.
Step 1: Diagnosis
In order to heal your body, we need to first understand it. That is why we utilize ultrasound to properly diagnose the source of your pain and injury. With ultrasound diagnostics we are able to show you, in live time and with extreme accuracy, where your pain is coming from. From this powerful diagnosis, we are able to recommend a treatment that is personalized to your body’s specific needs.
Step 2: Treatment
Once we have properly determined the source of your pain or injury, we can recommend the treatment that is right for you. We offer a wide range of treatments for pain and injury, as each person’s body is unique. All of our treatments are administered under ultrasound guidance.
Step 3: Recovery and Follow-Up
Once you have received your treatment, you are free to resume most normal activities immediately. Depending on the severity of your injury, most patients are able to resume more strenuous activities within a few weeks. Typically, we ask that our clients come in for a follow-up appointment. In the follow-up appointment, we use ultrasound to examine the treatment area to assess your recovery. This helps us to ensure that you are happy, healthy and fully recovered.

Pain and Injury Treatments
PRP for Pain and Injury
PRP for Pain and Injury
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a safe, cost-effective and nonsurgical solution to healing injury and pain, by accelerating the reparation process of damaged tissues. Using cutting edge medical technology, PRP therapy utilizes the body’s natural healing powers, the growth factors and plasma cells extracted from one’s own blood, to stimulate regeneration of cells and heal common injuries. A number of high-profile athletes use PRP therapy for injury treatment, so that they are able perform at their best without surgeries or invasive procedures.
A2M (Arthritis Injection Treatment)
A2M (Arthritis Injection Treatment)
Alpha 2 macroglobulin, or A2M injection therapy, treats osteoarthritis at its source. A2M is your body’s own master anti-inflammatory protein, found naturally in your blood. It is first obtained from your blood like PRP with an extra special filtration process, then it is injected into your painful, arthritic joints. A2M immediately begins to block inflammation naturally, thus relieving pain and preventing cartilage breakdown – stopping arthritis in its tracks.
Growth Factor Therapies
Placental Tissue Matrix (PTM)
Growth factor therapies are breakthrough treatments that stimulate the body to heal and repair injury and pain, reducing discomfort and restoring optimal function to your injured joint. If you suffer from chronic pain or have had an injury – new or old – that is affecting you in your everyday life, our Growth Factor Therapy could be the solution for you. Growth Factor Therapy and regenerative treatments are effective for repairing connective tissue injuries like ligament and tendon tears, joint arthritis, and meniscus degeneration.
Nerve Hydrodissection
Nerve Hydrodissection
Nerve hydrodissection is the application of gentle fluid pressure through the conduit of a needle to open the space around the nerve. The injection of fluid around the nerve can permanently separate fascial layers, muscles or adhesions from the nerve. This decompresses the nerve and enables the nerve to move freely and receive its vital blood flow, to provide long-lasting relief from pain.
Advanced ultrasound technology allows for providers to see the nerves better than any other imaging modality, offering a precise diagnosis and treatment.
More Treatment Information
Unsure which therapy is best for you? It’s ok – that’s normal! We won’t know either, until we ultrasound it during your consultation. It is through that scan that we will determine the best recommended therapy for you, so it’s OK not to know exactly what solution will be used in advance.
