Specialized Treatment Areas

Intramuscular (IM) vitamin injections are an effective way to rapidly correct a deficiency in these vitamins to help alleviate symptoms and restore optimal health. IM injections are often administered to patients who have a deficiency of these essential nutrients, determined by a blood test, and who will benefit from higher levels due to certain health conditions and health optimization.

Based on your lab report, your Naturopath will determine the appropriate number of injections to reach optimal levels. Once the series of injections have been complete, your Naturopathic Doctor will retest to ensure the optimization has occurred.

Our joints are held together by soft tissue. Some of these structures are ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. These tissues tend to have limited blood flow relative to the circulation to muscles, thus when injured, resulting in longer recovery times, or in some cases chronic pain and instability.

Prolotherapy is an advanced injection treatment which involves injecting a sugar-anesthetic solution into injured or unstable tendons & ligaments. The body naturally responds by creating an inflammatory response at the site of the injected solution. This increased blood flow is needed to stimulate healing in the injured area.
Under the guidance of a naturopathic physician, you will be given a detailed pre and post prolotherapy plan covering exercises, dietary changes, and supplementation.

Trigger point injection therapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pain caused by muscle knots, or trigger points. These points are areas of muscle that are hyperirritable and can cause local or referred pain (pain that travels away from the problem area). During the procedure, our naturopathic doctors will typically inject a small amount of local anesthetic directly into the trigger point. This helps to alleviate pain and relax the muscle.

The injection itself may cause some discomfort, but it is usually brief. After the procedure, patients may experience temporary soreness at the injection site, but this typically resolves quickly. Trigger point injection therapy can be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including muscle spasms, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and myofascial pain syndrome. It can be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as spinal adjustments, acupuncture, or massage therapy, to help manage chronic pain and improve mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before your treatment, your doctor will conduct a full review of potential side effects to ensure you’re informed and prepared. Typical common side effects of intravenous therapy or vitamin injections may include pain, swelling, and minor bruising at the site of insertion. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.

If you experience redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site or in your arm, please contact us immediately for further guidance and care.

Typical side effects may include swelling, pain at the injection site, mild bruising, stiffness, and a temporary reduction in range of motion. These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own within a short period.

Recovery time varies for each patient—some may return to normal activities immediately, while others may require a brief rest period, depending on the treatment area and individual response.

Your doctor will review all potential side effects with you before treatment to ensure you are fully informed. If you have any concerns, feel free to discuss them with your practitioner beforehand.

The number of appointments needed varies for each patient, as treatment plans are customised for each individual based on their health concerns.

During your initial appointment, your practitioner will outline your treatment plan and recommend when to schedule your next visit. Initially, new patients may have more frequent appointments before transitioning to a long-term plan. Consistency with visits is key to achieving the best health and wellbeing outcomes.
