Living with chronic pain is a reality for millions of people today, interfering with their ability to enjoy even the simplest of pleasures.  What many do not know, however, is that today there are numerous interventional pain management techniques available that can help these individuals control chronic pain.

Working together to manage pain with early interventional treatment and invasive modalities can reduce the impact of pain and restore the patients quality of life.  The path to wellness starts at Balance in Motion.

Treatments:

SARAPIN

A safe and effective way to control pain of neuralgic and muscular origin.

Sarapin is an all-natural product. It is injected to relieve pain in the neck, back and other areas of the body. The leaf and root of the Sarracenia purpurea (Pitcher Plant) is extracted and made into injectable form to soften damaged muscle tissue and relieve pain.

In 1931 it was observed by the late Dr. Bernard D. Judovich in what was known as the Intercostal Neuralgia Clinic of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate Hospital, that the distillate prepared in this manner was of value in relieving pain of neuralgic origin. Since that time, as a result of extensive chemical, pharmacologic and clinical investigation, a product of uniform proved potency has been derived, SARAPIN.

The painful syndromes most commonly relieved by SARAPIN:

Muscle Tension

Nerve Pain and Sciatica Acute or Chronic Inflammation

Muscle Knots and Scar Tissue

Muscle Knots and Scar Tissue Neck and Shoulder Pain Back and Hip Pain Joint Pain and Stiffness

Additionally, it is interesting to note that the pitcher plant is safe to be taken by mouth for digestive disorders (particularly constipation), for urinary tract diseases and fluid retention, and also been used as a cure for small pox.

 Prolotherapy

Utilizing the body’s natural healing mechanisms to relieve joint pain

Prolotherapy for knee painProlotherapy for back pain

Prolotherapy is a treatment that utilizes our own musculoskeletal system’s natural healing capacities. Prolotherapy induces  changes within weakened dysfunctional soft tissue that leads to increased strength and firmness connective tissue and alleviating muscle and joint pain.

Treatments involve an injection series performed by gently peppering a stimulating solution into a weakened structure or joint. Our immune system is stimulated both mechanically from the needle via microtrauma, and physiologically from the medication “cocktail” that is injected.

The procedure induces inflammation followed by healing and ultimate functional restoration. The Prolotherapy solution consists of a dextrose (sugar) solution as well as Serapin, a plant extract with known healing properties.

The most common areas of joint instability and dysfunction that could be helped with Prolotherapay include the following:
 
•Neck achiness and mechanical symptoms such as cracking or reduced range of motion that can radiate to traps or cause headaches; may be associated with head/neck heaviness in setting of poor posture. Often a history of whiplash trauma.
•Low Back/Sacroiliac Joint instability, which may be accompanied by subtle Scoliosis or Leg Length Discrepancy
•Ankle instability usually outward in setting of prior ankle sprain or repetitive microtrauma.
•Shoulder instability with tendency to move too much forward with certain motions
•Patellar (knee cap) instability, elbow instability, and hip instability.
•End-stage arthritis in non-operative candidate or failed arthroscopy for shoulders, hands, hips, knees and ankles/feet.

Reactions to prolotherapy are typically related to the discomfort of the procedure which may last for several days. Because inflammation is desired, anti-inflammatories are discontinued one week prior to first prolotherapy injection, and should not be resumed until the treatments are complete, unless otherwise recommended by the doctor.  Please continue your massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture sessions to assist in the healing and pain relief.
