Injection Therapies

Some health conditions require injection therapy to alleviate pains, promote healing and provide nutritional support. This approach is highly effective; the material injected intravenously bypasses acts directly on the bloodstream to give an immediate effect.

The fact that the injection bypasses the gastrointestinal tract means that it suffers minimal modification before reaching its target destination. The procedure is widely used to alleviate pains and repair managed and inflamed tissues.

Corticosteroid injections This is a class of anti-inflammatory medicine that effectively treats various health conditions such as osteoarthritis, sciatica, arthritis, joint pain, inflammatory bowel diseases, and many others. Corticosteroids must only be administered by a qualified medical practitioner.

Hyaluronic Acid injections This is another commonly used injection therapy for reducing pain in patients with health conditions like osteoarthritis. The active component of the injection is similar to the fluid that is found in joints naturally. It helps the bones in the joint to slide over one another easily to prevent friction and pains.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) This procedure entails injecting the patient's platelets to expedite the healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. This process aims to inject plasma that is rich in platelets into the part of the body that needs quick healing. The platelets activate the body's healing mechanism to expedite tissue repairs and regeneration when required.

Uses concentrations of a patient's own platelets to promote the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. Using a patient's own blood to produce the platelet-rich plasma, the concentrated platelets contain growth factors vital to initiating the body's own healing mechanisms to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration.
