Tendon or Ligament Injuries
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) relieves pain by promoting long lasting healing by using the platelets and growth factors from your own blood to stimulate new cell growth and enhance the body’s own healing response.
Joint Problems
When Stem Cells are injected into a damaged joint, they appear to amplify the body’s own natural repair efforts by reducing inflammation, accelerating healing and preventing scar tissue and loss of function.
Muscle Knots
Trigger Point Injections help to relax the muscle. Relaxing the muscle will relieve the pain and increase your mobility. Any muscle can have one or more trigger points. Several injections may be needed in each trigger point to ease pain.
Successful Stories
EMMA’s story:Emma spent long hours on her computer at work. Poor ergonomic positioning caused muscle fatigue and spasm in her neck, which radiated to the shoulders. Her weekend tennis game only aggravated this condition and developed tendonitis in her shoulder and elbow.
Daily poor posture plus weekend tennis games caused Repetitive Overuse Injury (ROI), which now included tendonitis in her shoulder and elbow. The pain was interfering with her work, and she stopped playing tennis. Our first approach was to loosen and relax her muscles. Trigger point injections administered into Emma’s neck and shoulder muscles followed by cortisone injections into her elbow and shoulder joint relieved her inflammation and pain. Emma was able to make ergonomic changes to her work environment with help from a study of the Alexander Techniques, and she made a commitment to yoga, which have together helped to improve Emma’s quality of life. Her tennis game and forehand are as feared as ever!
Successful Stories
David is an avid biker and skier – both of which factored into his pain issues. A torn ACL from skiing and subsequent surgery left him with a weakened knee.DAVID’s story:
Years of cycling following the surgery caused his thigh muscles and IT bands to overcompensate and protect this knee. The tightening of these muscles caused pain in his legs and pulled down on his back causing back pain. Seeking to avoid surgery, he came to Dr. Snowball. Through an understanding of the interconnectivity of the body, they embarked on a plan that essentially reversed the process that initially caused his pain. Dr. Snowball started with Euflexxa Injections in the knee to help rebuild it. She then administered trigger point injections in the back and hips to relax the muscles. Injections combined with deep tissue massage allowed the over stressed muscles to relax and strengthen. Then David embarked on a regimen of stretching through yoga to prevent overuse of any one muscle group and to improve core strength. As a result, David has alleviated his symptoms without the need for surgery..
