Injections

Extra Strong Vitamin B

Ingredients: B1 + B2 + B3 + B5 + B6+ B12 + Methylfolate + Methylcobalamin

Magnesium can help smooth arrhythmias and lower blood pressure. Asthmatic, COPD, and chronic bronchitis patients may benefit from this therapy as magnesium relaxes the bronchial tubes (airway) associated with these disorders. It is commonly given to patients with tight/sore muscles, muscular skeletal conditions, or restless legs.  

A mixture of Magnesium and B12 is also available.

Magnesium Injection

Ingredients: MagSulfate + procaine

Short for proliferative therapy, also commonly referred to as regenerative injection therapy (RIT). Regenerative injection therapies are used to treat chronic pain conditions and musculoskeletal injuries. 
Ligament or tendon attachments once stretched, torn, or otherwise injured often have difficulty returning to pre-injury level of functioning due to limited blood supply to these structures. Chronic anti-inflammatory use or steroid injections further impair this process and 
surgery can often produce more scarring and limited range of motion without addressing the root cause of dysfunction. 
Prolotherapy can stimulate healing of the joint structures without cutting, or removing, tissue. This treatment consists of injecting a proliferating agent into an injured tendon or ligament attachment site (bone or joint), to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. As part of this process, the body recruits’ fibroblasts into the injured area, which are the body’s major cells responsible to produce new collagen, the material that ligaments and tendons are made of. This leads to the growth and formation of new ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in areas where there is weakness, laxity, or excess scar tissue. 

Ingredients: There are 4 common ingredients used in standard dextrose prolotherapy solutions.
1.	Dextrose: This is the main proliferative agent used in the treatment. Concentrated dextrose (sugar solution) is used as an irritant to stimulate a mild inflammation which ‘tricks’ the body into thinking the area is injured and to begin healing.
2.	Procaine: A short-acting anesthetic that helps control pain. Additional benefits of using procaine include stopping muscle spasms, increasing muscle strength, breaking up scar tissue, and resetting malfunctioning nerves.
3.	Adenosine Monophosphate: Is used to reduce inflammation and has also been shown to dissolve bone spurs & other pathological calcium deposits.
4.	Methylcobalamin & Vitamin B12: Is added to aid in the repair of nerve function. It also has been used for sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bone spurs.

Prolotherapy is NOT the same as Cortisone Injections!
Unlike cortisone injections, regenerative injections work cumulatively, and more than one treatment is usually required to achieve full healing and function of the compromised joint.
