Chronic Pain Clinic Calgary

Chronic pain can often be traced back to “trigger points,” tight knots in muscles that cause referred pain beyond their location.

Our practitioners use a targeted injection technique to deliver a small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication directly into the trigger point. This approach helps to deactivate the trigger point, alleviate pain, and improve the range of motion in the affected area.

Botox is used for treating pain caused by muscle tension and overactivity. A small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into specific muscle groups, allowing them to relax and reduce pain signals sent to the brain.

This treatment is particularly helpful for conditions like chronic headaches, migraines, neck pain, and muscle spasms. The effects of Botox typically last for several months, providing significant pain relief and improved function.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the natural healing power of your blood. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.

The concentrated PRP is injected into the injured area, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to accelerate recovery from tendonitis, ligament sprains, and joint injuries. This minimally invasive treatment offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery for promoting long-term healing.

Prolotherapy is a safe and effective injection therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing response to strengthen injured ligaments, tendons, and joints. A series of injections containing a solution that irritates the tissues is administered to the injured area. This controlled inflammation triggers the body’s healing process, promoting the growth of new collagen fibres to strengthen the weakened structures.

Prolotherapy is an excellent option for chronic pain conditions arising from ligament sprains, tendonitis, and joint instability.

Acupuncture presents a minimally invasive approach to alleviating chronic pain across various body regions. By employing thin needles at varying depths, acupuncture can complement your existing treatment regimen.

Our skilled acupuncture practitioners can strategically place needles to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, enhancing its therapeutic effects. Thus, making it one of the most subtle yet effective treatments for pain.

Massage Therapy is commonly associated with relaxation, yet its benefits extend beyond that perception. Massage therapy performed by trained professionals possesses the ability to treat your muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments.

This ultimately helps reduce stress and muscle tension making it an essential treatment for pain.
