The Integrative Approach to Pain Management in Calgary
Pain is a sensation that can ranges from discomfort, distress all the way to agony, depending on the severity. It can occur because of injury, joint and muscle overuse, infection and/or damage to the musculoskeletal system.
There are varying types of pain which include:
- Acute pain – this can be intense and short-lived. Acute pain commonly follows an injury or infection. When the injury heals, the pain usually goes away.
- Chronic pain – this sensation lasts much longer than acute pain. Chronic pain can be mild or intense (severe).
Our team is highly trained to provide long term sustainable pain relief strategies using a variety of naturopathic and medical treatments customized for each patient’s needs and symptoms. Some examples of pain management techniques include:
- Prolotherapy
- Intravenous therapy
- Ozone therapy
- Acupuncture
Prolotherapy is a solution known for its effects on joint repair. Prolotherapy is a dextrose and lidocaine solution which is injected into the affected joint.
Prolotherpay is not pain free, but a small needle is used along with some freezing which makes it pretty close to pain free. You will feel the poke of the needle and some pressure when the fluid is injected. After the injections your joint will feel full, heavy and frozen. When the freezing wears off, you will experience pain for approximately 24-48 hours as your joint heals. You are unable to do activity on the treated joint for up to 2 weeks for best results.
An ultrasound is not used at the clinic for the therapy.
We have a team of extremely passionate health care providers. Naturopathic Doctors that are willing to work with your Family Doctor or other health care provider. We are close to your home in the northwest. We offer other supportive treatments to have a well rounded approach to your health
A full intake will be conducted to explore the entirety of your health. From blood work, to physical exams and truly taking the time to listen to your health concerns, we can get to the root of the problem and create long term, sustainable health solutions- not just Band-Aids. Your first visit with our Naturopathic Doctor is about one hour in length. The first visit is an information gathering visit to identify all possible health concerns, and decide which blood work to run, if any. You may or may not be sent home with a treatment on the first visit. If you’re coming for prolotherapy, a treatment can be done on the same day.
