Regenerative injection therapy for chronic pain and injuries that haven't resolved with conventional care. I spent a year hurt before prolotherapy gave me the recovery nothing else could, and that's what shapes how I practice it today. “You've already waited long enough to feel better.” Find Your Location Bad knees that never fully came back after an old sports injury. A shoulder that's been off since a fall years ago. Chronic low back pain that flares no matter how careful you are. Tendon and ligament injuries that surgery hasn't fixed, or that you'd rather avoid surgery for altogether. If conventional care has run its course and you're still hurting, this is where we start looking deeper. Your first visit starts with a real assessment, not a quick look and a prescription. We talk through how the injury happened, what you've already tried, and what you want to get back to. Then I assess the area directly and we build a plan together, adjusting it as your body responds. ## The therapies I use: I choose the therapy based on what's actually going on in the tissue, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Depending on your injury or pain, that might mean: - Prolotherapy: an injection that stimulates the body's own repair response in weakened ligaments and tendons - Neural Therapy: targets disrupted nerve signaling that keeps pain or dysfunction stuck in place - Perineural Therapy: calms irritated peripheral nerves close to the skin's surface - Prolozone: combines prolotherapy with ozone for joints and tissue that need an extra anti-inflammatory push, and my most common way of using ozone - Ozone Therapy: used on its own for certain cases, though I most often pair it with prolotherapy as prolozone - Trigger Point Injections: release the tight, painful knots in muscle that refer pain elsewhere - PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): uses your own blood's healing factors for more significant tendon and joint injuries PRP is available at my Fernie, BC location only. Prolotherapy, prolozone, ozone therapy, neural therapy, perineural therapy, and trigger point injections are available at all three of my locations. How treatment actually progresses ## Calm. Correct. Repair. Rebuild. This framework helps me match the right therapy to where you're at. Many patients are in more than one phase at once, so a single visit often includes more than one type of injection. 1. Calm Reduce pain, guarding, and nerve sensitization with trigger point, neural, or perineural therapy. 2. Correct Restore movement, usually with your physio, chiro, or osteopath, timed alongside treatment. 3. Repair Stimulate real structural repair in connective tissue with prolotherapy, prolozone, ozone, or PRP. 4. Rebuild Progressive loading and rehab, most productive once repair is already underway. The goal isn't just less pain. It's getting you back to the things you've been working around, and keeping you there. Before you book ## What to expect Straight answers to the questions I hear most. How many treatments will I need? It depends on what we're treating. A recent injury, an old one that never fully healed, and a degenerative condition like arthritis all respond differently. Most people need 3 to 6 treatments. Spacing depends on the therapy: prolotherapy is usually every 3 to 4 weeks, while trigger point and perineural injections can be done weekly. You'll leave your first visit with a clear plan, and we adjust it as you improve. Do the injections hurt? Many of the formulas I use include a local anesthetic like procaine or lidocaine to keep you comfortable. Soreness for a day or two afterward is normal, and some people don't feel any at all. You may feel a little flared up before you start to feel better. That's the repair response doing its job. Can I stay active during treatment? Yes. I recommend modified activity, never no activity. Movement is part of how tissue heals, so I'll give you specific guidance on what to scale back and for how long based on your treatment. Do I need to avoid anti-inflammatories? For prolotherapy and PRP, yes. Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen (NSAIDs) can blunt the repair response these treatments are designed to create, so I'll let you know when to avoid them. This doesn't apply to trigger point, perineural, or neural therapy. Do I need a referral or imaging first? No referral is needed. If you've had imaging like an X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound, please send the written report, not the images themselves. The report is what I need to review. Is it covered by insurance? It depends on your plan. Your invoice lists the visit and the injection supplies as two separate line items. Some extended health plans cover both, while others cover only the visit. Check your naturopathic coverage with your provider before your appointment. Which location should I book at? Whichever is most convenient for you. Every therapy except PRP is available at all three of my locations. PRP is available in Fernie, BC only. ## You don’t have to keep working around the pain.
