injuries and pain

An acute or chronic injury can be extremely frustrating.

We do a thorough assessment of the joint, muscle or ligament injury and recommend regenerative therapies like prolotherapy, prolozone or platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections to stimulate healing. Prolotherapy is the injection of dextrose into a joint, ligament, tendon or muscle to stimulate healing through the immune response. PRP is the injection of the patient’s own plasma that has been spun in a special centrifuge to achieve high concentrations of platelets, growth factors and other naturally occurring healing molecules. Both prolotherapy and PRP can be very successful for degenerative arthritis as well as a variety of injuries. A consultation with Dr. Botsford will help determine which therapy is right for you.

Complex pain issues like chronic pain, fibromyalgia can have many causes. We investigate the cause and may recommend supportive treatments like acupuncture, herbal medicine or other modalities to address the nervous system and its role in pain management. 

We treat many other areas, schedule a consultation to find out what treatment is right for your specific needs.
