Orthopedic Injections

If you are suffering from joint pains, you understand how debilitating it can be. Such pains can make it difficult for you to engage in your daily chores. Depending on the severity of your joint pain, our integrative medicine and wellness can help manage and treat it. If you live in West Valley City or Riverton, our team at Generational Healthcare is here to help. Here are some of the common injections we offer to reduce pain and inflammation in your joints.

Orthopedic Injections That We Offer

Trigger point

It is a type of injection that we can offer directly into your trigger point to manage pain. The injection can include an anesthetic such as corticosteroid, Marcaine, and xylocaine. In other cases, we will insert a needle into your trigger point to ease the pain.

Nerve Block

Nerve block refers to an injection with a corticosteroid and a local anesthetic that we can apply around your nerves that are causing pain. The injections help alleviate several neuropathic pain types, including pelvic, abdominal, elbow and wrist, shoulder, nose and mouth, forehead, upper jaw, and scalp.

Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Hyaluronic acid is naturally available in the skin, eyes, and joints. If you have decreased levels of hyaluronic acid, you will experience arthritis and joint friction. Luckily, we provide hyaluronic acid injections to lubricate your joints, reduce friction, delay aging, and reduce stiffness. In most cases, our medical practitioner can use the injection to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections (PRP) 

We provide PRP injections because they take advantage of your body's natural healing to repair damaged tissues. We use the PRP injection to treat several knee conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, knee ligament tears, and patellar tendonitis.

Amniotic Fluid

We can administer amniotic injections to promote healthy tissue regeneration. The components in amniotic injections include messenger RNA, hyaluronic acid, collagen, fibrinogen, and cytokines. We can essentially offer injections to help control pain, wound care, and other orthopedic issues, such as facilitating the repair of ligaments, capsules, fasciae, and tendons. The most important thing is that amniotic injections do not have any risks because they do not contain substances that can trigger antigen responses.

Prolozone

Prolozone is the type of regenerative medicine where our doctor will use ozone injection and other therapeutic components to stimulate pain relief. In most cases, our medical practitioner can use this non-surgical therapy option for a patient dealing with wear and tear due to aging, strains, and tissue injuries.

Sphenopalatine Ganglion

Sphenopalatine ganglion is a critical neural relay that is used for facial sensation. That's why we provide sphenopalatine ganglion neurostimulation injections to control facial pains and headaches.
