Injections and Infusions

For individuals dealing with chronic or acute pain, Injections & Infusions offer effective, targeted treatments that can provide long-lasting relief. These therapies deliver medications directly to the source of pain, bypassing the digestive system for faster, more effective relief. We offers a variety of injection and infusion options designed to address a wide range of pain conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and pain related to chronic conditions.

Our team of pain management specialists uses advanced techniques to ensure each patient receives a personalized and comprehensive approach to pain relief. If traditional treatments like oral medications or physical therapy have not provided sufficient relief, our injection and infusion therapies may be the solution you're looking for.

Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion

What is Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion?
Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion involves the administration of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, directly into the bloodstream through an IV. This treatment is used to manage chronic pain conditions, particularly those associated with nerve dysfunction or inflammation.

When is it used?

• Chronic pain conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
• Neuropathic pain such as post-herpetic neuralgia.
• Pain related to fibromyalgia or other widespread pain syndromes.
• Acute pain following surgery or injury.

Benefits of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion:

• Provides rapid and effective pain relief.
• Acts as a systemic pain reliever for conditions that affect the entire body.
• Reduces nerve irritation and inflammation, providing long-lasting pain relief.
• Often used as a part of a multi-modal pain management approach.

How it works: Lidocaine is infused directly into the bloodstream via an IV, allowing it to circulate throughout the body and target areas of nerve irritation or inflammation, offering relief from chronic and acute pain.

Trigger Point Injections

What are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections involve the injection of a local anesthetic or corticosteroid directly into a muscle knot or "trigger point" to relieve muscle pain and tension. These trigger points are often found in areas with chronic muscle tightness and can refer pain to other areas of the body.

When is it used?

• Chronic muscle pain or stiffness, particularly in the neck, back, or shoulders.
• Myofascial pain syndrome (muscle pain caused by trigger points).
• Tension headaches or migraines caused by muscle tightness.

Benefits of Trigger Point Injections:

• Targets specific areas of muscle pain for rapid relief.
• Reduces inflammation and muscle spasms.
• Provides long-term relief when combined with physical therapy.
• Minimal side effects and quick recovery time.

How it works: A small needle is used to inject a local anesthetic or corticosteroid directly into the trigger point. This helps to reduce muscle spasms, decrease inflammation, and relieve pain at the site of tension.

Botox Injection

What is Botox Injection for Pain Management?
While Botox is commonly known for its cosmetic uses, it also offers significant benefits in the treatment of chronic pain. Botox injections can be used to relax muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and block pain signals in certain areas of the body. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles and blocking the release of substances that cause pain.

When is it used?

• Chronic migraines and tension headaches.
• Cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms).
• Muscle spasticity from conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy.
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain or bruxism (teeth grinding).
• Chronic pain conditions where muscle spasm contributes to discomfort.

Benefits of Botox Injection for Pain:

• Provides relief for chronic migraines, often reducing the frequency and severity of headaches.
• Relieves muscle spasms and tightness, improving mobility and comfort.
• Offers a minimally invasive option for patients seeking long-term relief from muscle-related pain.

How it works: Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for causing pain, and the neurotoxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals, leading to muscle relaxation and pain reduction. Effects typically last for several months, and the procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.

SIJ Joint Injection

What is an SIJ Joint Injection?
The Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Injection targets the sacroiliac joints, which are located in the lower back and pelvis and can be a common source of pain in patients with conditions like sacroiliac joint dysfunction or arthritis.

When is it used?

• Chronic low back pain or pain in the buttocks, thighs, or groin.
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction caused by injury, arthritis, or inflammation.
• As part of a diagnostic process to determine if the SIJ is the source of pain.

Benefits of SIJ Joint Injection:

• Provides targeted pain relief directly at the source of discomfort.
• Reduces inflammation and irritation in the SIJ.
• Offers long-term relief, especially when combined with physical therapy.
• Helps improve mobility and quality of life for patients with pelvic or low back pain.

How it works: A corticosteroid or local anesthetic is injected into the sacroiliac joint, targeting the source of pain and reducing inflammation. This procedure can also serve as a diagnostic tool to confirm whether the SIJ is the primary cause of the patient’s pain.

Ketamine Infusion

What is Ketamine Infusion?
Ketamine Infusion is a powerful treatment used for managing severe chronic pain and certain mood disorders. Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine has been found to offer rapid pain relief for conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain. It works by blocking pain receptors in the nervous system and offering a dissociative effect that can disrupt pain pathways.

When is it used?

• Chronic pain conditions that are resistant to other treatments, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
• Neuropathic pain such as post-surgical or post-trauma pain.
• Fibromyalgia and widespread musculoskeletal pain.
• Depression and anxiety-related pain disorders (in conjunction with other treatments).

Benefits of Ketamine Infusion:

• Provides significant pain relief for patients with complex or severe pain.
• Effective for pain conditions that do not respond well to traditional pain medications.
• Can promote neuroplasticity, helping to "reset" the nervous system and reduce pain sensitivity.
• Fast-acting, with many patients experiencing relief during or shortly after the infusion.

How it works: Ketamine is administered through an intravenous (IV) infusion in a controlled medical environment. The dosage and frequency are tailored to the individual patient's needs, and the procedure is closely monitored by healthcare professionals.

Why Choose Injections & Infusions for Pain Relief?

• Targeted Treatment: These therapies deliver medication directly to the source of pain, providing rapid and effective relief.
• Minimally Invasive: Most injection and infusion treatments are minimally invasive, offering relief without the need for surgery.
• Long-Lasting Relief: Many patients experience long-term pain relief, reducing the need for daily medication.
• Reduced Side Effects: By delivering medication directly to the site of pain, injections and infusions minimize systemic side effects commonly associated with oral medications.
