Our Facility in Saint Augustine Fl

 What we do at our facility:

 

Conventional Interventional injection procedures

We are the only facility in St. Augustine exclusively dedicated to the treatment of musculoskeletal, orthopedic and spine conditions and sports injuries  by non-operative minimally invasive means. We perform the full gamut of interventional procedures, including epidural injections, facet blocks, sacro-iliac injections, hip, knees and other joints injections etc., always using the latest techniques and the most modern equipment available. We always use disposable equipment when possible, to avoid dangerous cross-contamination and to minimize the risk of infection. Additionally, all of our procedures are done using precision guidance by either utilizing fluoroscopy or ultrasound to ascertain correct and precise placement of the needle. This allows us to use the minimum doses of medication, avoiding unpleasant side effects and dangerous complications.

 

Interventional Orthobiologic procedures

We are proud that we were the first facility in St. Augustine, Florida to use autologus orthobiologic products minimally manipulated and with nothing added for individualized treatment  in some of our treatments and we are definitely the most experienced. We do the entire procedure in one seating. At our facility we have held several demonstrations of the procedures on life subjects with both local and regional doctors attending to learn the procedures.

 

Prolotherapy

Additionally we are one of the two only facilities in Northeast Florida and one of eight facilities in the entire state of Florida offering Prolotherapy. Go to www.getproplo.com and check it out. Prolotherapy is a technique consisting of injecting tissue-irritating substances, such as hypertonic dextrose (sugar water), among others, into the tissues. These tissue-irritating substances called proliferants are intended to stimulate healing, and repair when injected into precise points called the Enthesis. Basically the enthesis is the point where tendons and ligaments attach to the bone. The proliferant when injected into these very precise points stimulate tissues to proliferate (therefore the name Prolotherapy) and heal.

When injuries occur, the area may not heal completely due to lack of proper treatment or poor blood supply. For these two reasons, ligaments, joints and tendons may heal very slowly and poorly. If left untreated or not treated correctly at some point, damaged ligaments become loose, allowing bones in the joint to shift with excessive movements, causing pain, muscle spasms, and eventually arthritis.

Aging can have the same effect. Arthritic degeneration occurs in the joints and spine as a result of instability in the structures supporting them. Prolotherapy can intervene by stabilizing the structures and decreasing the progression of pain and  degeneration. If you are interested in Prolotherapy please call our office and we can send you an informational packet on the subject. We also encourage you to do your own research about Prolotherapy on the internet and talk to other patients that have been treated with Prolotherapy.
