Pain Management
Healite ll
Healite ll is a Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) which comprises of near infrared light for tissue healing. This unique technology activates the production of endorphins while blocking pain transmitting chemicals offering a non-narcotic analgesia effect.
Benefits:
- Calms excessive inflammation
- Improves circulation
- Accelerates healing
- Eases pain
- Non-invasive
- Tennis elbow
- Golfers elbow
- shoulder pain
- Neck & back pain
- Deep muscle pain
- Spasms and knots
- Plantar fasciitis
Acoustic Wave Therapy
Acoustic wave therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive method of treating soft tissue injuries. Acoustic wave therapy involves generation of sounds waves that are delivered to an area at high pressure, followed by negative pressure.
Acoustic waves heal an injury via overloading of pain transmission nerves leading to reduction in pain and sensitivity. Stimulation of body’s natural repair system by improving blood flow, reversing chronic inflammation and induction of collagen.
- Plantar fasciitis (heel spur syndrome)
- Tennis elbow
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
- Rotator cuff tendinitis (occurring in the shoulder)
- Archilles tendinitis
- Neck and Back strains
Each session last about 15-20 minutes. Patients typically feel immediate relief after treatment with healing occurring in the next few weeks.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bodily functions are regulated by flow of energy called Qi, in channels called Meridians. Disease is generally perceived as a disharmony in the functions or interactions of the flow of Qi and the organs. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that the energy flow will re-balance.
In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. This stimulation appears to boost the activity of your body’s natural painkillers and increase blood flow and stimulate repair mechanism.
BTX for Pain Relief
Many people are unaware that BTX injections are used not only to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but also for chronic pain control and muscle spasm. BTX is injected into muscles that are overactive. When these muscles are relaxed with BTX, pain may diminish.
It can be useful for the following conditions:
- Migraine
- Neck and Back pain
- Myosfascial pain syndrome
- Nerve pain
- TMJ dysfunction
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that helps to relieve pain and speed up the healing process. Platelet Rich Plasma is a plasma extract from the blood containing much higher concentration of platelets than what is typically found in the blood. These platelets contain growth factors which are very important in the healing of injuries.
- It is a non-surgical treatment that carries a much lower risk that conventional surgery.
- It does not invoke autoimmune and allergic reactions as PRP is drawn from own blood.
- It has a short treatment time involving about 30 minutes to 60 minutes, compared to other treatment modalities.
- There is no lengthy downtime and general anaesthesia is not required.
The process involves drawing blood from the patient, followed by a separation process called centrifugation which produces a plasma sample with high platelet concentration. Currently accepted indications are treatment of acute muscle and ligament injuries and biological augmentation of acute achilles tendon repairs.
Nstride APS
The Nstride APS, also called an autologous protein solution (APS) injection, is a medical treatment that uses your own blood to produce a concentrated solution containing anti-inflammatory proteins and growth factors. This solution is injected directly into the affected joint to help reduce inflammation, support healing, and potentially enhance joint function.
