Pain Injection Treatments in Oakville
We specialize exclusively in targeted injection therapies — precise, OHIP-covered and advanced pain procedures serving Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and the Greater Toronto Area.
Nerve Block & Trigger Point Injections
Nerve blocks use local anesthetic and/or anti-inflammatory medication to block pain signals from specific nerves. Trigger point injections target tight bands of muscle (trigger points) that cause referred pain patterns. These procedures provide rapid relief and are performed in-clinic with minimal downtime.
Conditions Treated
- •Chronic back and neck pain
- •Sciatica and radiculopathy
- •Myofascial pain syndrome
- •Headaches and migraines
- •Post-surgical pain
- •Complex regional pain syndrome
What to Expect
After a thorough assessment, your physician will identify the target nerve or trigger point using anatomical landmarks or ultrasound guidance. The injection takes only minutes, and most patients experience relief within hours.
Prolotherapy & Prolozone
Prolotherapy involves injecting a natural irritant solution (typically dextrose) into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints to trigger your body's healing cascade. Prolozone combines ozone gas with nutrients to enhance this regenerative effect. Both therapies strengthen weakened connective tissue and reduce chronic joint instability.
Conditions Treated
- •Chronic joint pain and instability
- •Ligament and tendon injuries
- •Osteoarthritis
- •Tennis and golfer's elbow
- •Rotator cuff injuries
- •Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
What to Expect
A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typical. Each session involves precise injections into the affected areas. Gradual improvement occurs as new collagen tissue forms and stabilizes the treated structures.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy uses a concentrated preparation of your own platelets — rich in growth factors — to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fraction, which is then injected directly into the injured area.
Conditions Treated
- •Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)
- •Chronic tendon injuries
- •Ligament sprains
- •Muscle tears
- •Plantar fasciitis
- •Degenerative disc disease
What to Expect
The entire procedure takes about 60 minutes. Blood is drawn, processed for 15 minutes, and the PRP is injected under ultrasound guidance. Most patients require 1–3 sessions depending on the condition severity.
PRP with Advanced Visual Guidance
This advanced PRP technique uses real-time ultrasound imaging to guide needle placement with pinpoint accuracy. Visual guidance ensures the concentrated platelets are delivered exactly to the site of injury — critical for treating deep structures, small joints, and areas near sensitive anatomy.
Conditions Treated
- •Deep joint injuries
- •Spinal disc pathology
- •Small joint arthritis
- •Complex tendon tears
- •Areas near nerves or vessels
- •Previously failed injection treatments
What to Expect
Your physician uses live ultrasound imaging throughout the procedure, confirming needle position before delivering the PRP concentrate. This technique yields higher success rates than blind injections, particularly for challenging anatomical targets.
Arthrosamid Injections
Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable polyacrylamide hydrogel that integrates into the synovial membrane of the knee joint. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections that break down over months, Arthrosamid provides sustained cushioning and lubrication. Clinical studies show significant pain reduction lasting 2+ years from a single injection.
Conditions Treated
- •Knee osteoarthritis (mild to moderate)
- •Knee pain limiting daily activities
- •Patients who want to delay or avoid surgery
- •Failed or short-lived response to other injections
What to Expect
A single intra-articular injection is administered under sterile conditions. The hydrogel integrates into the joint lining over several weeks. Most patients notice improvement within 4–12 weeks, with benefits lasting years.
Coverage
OHIP & Private Pay Options
Nerve blocks and trigger point injections are covered by OHIP when performed by a licensed Ontario physician with a valid referral. PRP, prolotherapy, prolozone, and Arthrosamid are private pay procedures. Many extended health benefit plans cover a portion of these costs — we provide detailed receipts for insurance submission.
