Regenerative and
Natural Pain Injections

• Peptides are small chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. You can think of them as short segments of protein.
• Our body uses peptides for various functions, like building muscles, supporting the immune system, and helping with cell repair.

• Peptides act like messengers in the body, sending signals to cells to carry out specific tasks. For example, some peptides tell cells to produce more collagen, which can help with skin elasticity and repair.
• Other peptides might help with muscle growth or fat loss by influencing how your body uses energy or stores fat.

• Collagen Peptides: These are often used for skin health and joint support, as they can stimulate the body to produce more collagen.
• Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides (GHRP): These can help boost natural growth hormone levels, which might be useful for muscle growth, recovery, and overall energy.
• Peptides for Weight Loss: Some peptides can help with regulating metabolism or breaking down fat.

• Peptides can be used as therapeutics for specific health conditions or to support overall wellness. For example, they might be used in skin care for anti-aging, or in fitness for better muscle recovery.
• Unlike some other treatments, peptides are usually naturally found in the body, so they can be a more targeted approach to stimulating certain processes.

• Generally, peptides are considered safe when used appropriately and under the guidance of a healthcare provider. However, the effectiveness and potential side effects can vary depending on the type of peptide and the individual’s health condition.

• PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is a treatment that uses your own blood to help heal injuries or rejuvenate tissue.
• Your blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelets are cells that play a key role in healing and clotting.

• The treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, just like a regular blood test.
• The blood is then put into a machine called a centrifuge that spins it quickly. This process separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
• The concentrated platelets in the plasma contain growth factors that are important for healing and tissue repair. These growth factors can help stimulate cell growth and promote natural healing.

PRP is used for a variety of conditions, such as:

• Joint and tendon injuries: It can help with conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, or sports injuries.
• Hair loss: PRP can be injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth in areas of thinning.
• Skin rejuvenation: PRP is sometimes used in cosmetic procedures to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production.

• Since PRP uses your own blood, there’s a lower risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
• It’s considered a more natural approach to healing because it helps your body’s own cells repair and grow.
• Many people like that PRP is a minimally invasive option, without the need for surgery or synthetic substances.

• The entire process usually takes about 30-60 minutes.
• After the PRP is prepared, it’s injected into the target area using a fine needle.
• There might be mild soreness or swelling at the injection site for a few days, but most people can return to normal activities soon after.

• It can take a few weeks to a few months to see results because the healing process takes time.
• Some conditions may need multiple sessions for the best outcome, depending on the severity of the issue and the patient’s response to the treatment.

• Prolotherapy is a treatment that aims to help your body heal injuries naturally by stimulating tissue repair.
• It involves injecting a solution—usually a mixture of dextrose (a type of sugar) and local anesthetic—into a joint, ligament, or tendon where there’s pain or injury.

• The injection causes a mild irritation or inflammation in the area where it’s applied. This tricks your body into thinking that there’s a small injury that needs to be healed.
• Your body then sends growth factors and healing cells to that spot, which helps strengthen and repair the damaged tissue over time.

• Prolotherapy is often used to treat chronic joint pain, ligament injuries, and tendon problems.
• It can be helpful for conditions like osteoarthritis, back pain, knee injuries, tennis elbow, and shoulder pain.
• It’s a good option if you’ve tried other treatments like physical therapy or medications and still have persistent pain.

• It’s considered a minimally invasive procedure and does not involve surgery.
• The solution used in the injection is natural, typically involving substances like sugar, which makes it a good option for those who prefer a more holistic approach to healing.
• It aims to strengthen weak tissues and improve stability in the joint or ligament over time, which can reduce pain and improve function.

• The procedure is done in a doctor’s office and typically takes between 30 – 60 minutes.
• You may feel mild discomfort at the injection site, but this is usually temporary.
• After the treatment, you might have mild soreness in the area for a few days, which is a sign that your body is starting the healing process.
• Most patients need multiple sessions (typically spaced a few weeks apart) to get the best results.

• Since prolotherapy relies on your body’s natural healing, it can take a few weeks to start feeling improvement, and full benefits may take a few months.
• The goal is to gradually strengthen the tissue and reduce chronic pain over time.

• Perineural Injection Therapy, or PIT, is a natural, non-surgical treatment designed to help reduce chronic pain and inflammation in the nerves near the skin’s surface.
• The Lyftogt Method specifically uses very small injections of a diluted dextrose solution (a sugar water solution) around inflamed or irritated nerves.

• The goal of PIT is to calm down the nerves that are causing pain or discomfort.
• When nerves become inflamed due to injury, overuse, or other conditions, they can become hypersensitive and send pain signals to the brain.
• By injecting the dextrose solution near these irritated nerves, it helps reduce inflammation and reset the nerve’s normal function, allowing the nerve to heal and reduce pain signals.

• PIT is often used for conditions like nerve pain, joint pain, arthritis, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and chronic tendinopathies.
• It’s especially effective for pain that hasn’t responded well to other treatments like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medications.

• It is a minimally invasive option that doesn’t involve steroids, surgery, or synthetic medications.
• Since it uses a natural sugar solution, it’s a safe option for most people with few side effects.

• Each session involves a series of small injections just under the skin around the area of pain or inflammation.
• The procedure is generally quick and can be done in a doctor’s office, often taking about 15-30 minutes.
• After the treatment, you might experience mild soreness at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a day or two.
• Many patients start to feel some relief after the first few sessions, but multiple treatments are often needed for longer-lasting benefits.

• Since PIT helps your body heal, the results can vary. Some people feel improvement within a few treatments, while others may need more time.
• The goal is to gradually reduce pain and improve function so that you can get back to your normal activities without discomfort.
