Naturopathy
Regenerative Injection Therapy
Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT) involves injecting specialized solutions into damaged soft tissue like ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. This targeted method triggers localized inflammation, prompting your body’s natural ability to heal. The goal is to encourage the growth of new connective tissue, and strengthen ligaments, tendons, and related structures.
At Catalyst Kinetics Group, our main RIT treatments are Prolotherapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). These are non-surgical treatments for chronic pain that aim to enhance strength, stability, and function, while reducing pain and stiffness. Often, these techniques are combined with other interventions, such as exercise rehabilitation, for optimal results.

Regenerative Injection Therapy
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy involves injecting an irritant solution at the site of injured ligaments and tendons to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Over multiple sessions, this helps repair damaged or degenerated structures in or around the joint. The solution usually contains dextrose, a type of glucose, as well as a local anesthetic and saline. Prolotherapy is particularly effective for chronic pain management, joint stability and tendon/ligament injury repair.
Regenerative Injection Therapy
PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is another treatment for acute and chronic pain, utilizing the regenerative properties found in platelets. Platelets contain important factors for clotting and tissue repair, making them crucial for healing.
PRP involves drawing the patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets through centrifugation, and injecting the concentrated platelets into the injured area to kickstart the healing process. PRP is widely used for tendon/ligament injuries and osteoarthritis.

When Progress Stalls:
Exploring Treatment Options
Conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care are important for healing after an injury. These therapies aim to restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function with various techniques tailored to individual needs.
However, when progress stalls and pain or dysfunction persist, it may signal an underlying issue that conservative therapies cannot resolve. In these cases, advanced interventions may be needed. Regenerative injection therapies like PRP and prolotherapy stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, addressing the underlying cause of chronic pain and dysfunction for better and longer-lasting recovery.

Injection Therapy - FAQs
1. What is the process in booking for injection therapies?
If you are new to our team of Naturopathic Doctors (ND), please book a New Patient Consultation for a comprehensive intake. If it has been over one year since seeing one of our NDs, you may book as a Readmission Visit. During the visit, the ND will take a comprehensive history, complete a physical assessment and review the treatment options. If time permits, some therapies may be completed in an initial visit however, some injections such as PRP will need to be arranged at a subsequent visit.
2. What is the cost of the injection therapies?
The pricing for these therapies varies based on the type of treatment and method used, the number of areas being treated, the complexity of the injection and the time needed to complete.
The cost for Prolotherapy ranges from $170.00 – $320.00, while PRP ranges from $500.00 – $975.00. Please note that additional fees for add on therapies and/or medications may be applied.
3. How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies based on individual conditions and the treatment being administered. A series of regenerative injection therapies may be recommended for optimal results. Your healthcare provider will assess your progress and tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
4. Are there side effects to the treatment?
Side effects are generally minimal. You may experience soreness or swelling at the injection site, which is normal and temporary. Serious complications are rare, and your healthcare provider will discuss any potential risks with you before the procedure.
5. Will my regenerative injection treatments be covered under my extended benefits?
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to determine the extent of coverage for regenerative injection therapies and Naturopathic care. Our clinic can assist by providing any necessary documentation to support your claim.
6. How should I prepare for my treatments?
Please remember to bring any medical imaging reports and a list of your current medications to your appointment. It’s best to avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least 48 hours before receiving regenerative injections, as they could interfere with the treatment process.
On the day of your appointment, be sure to have a meal, drink plenty of water, and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Your healthcare provider may give you additional instructions depending on the type of injection therapy you’ll be receiving.
7. What can I expect following my treatments?
After the treatment, you might feel some discomfort or soreness at the injection site, but this usually goes away within a few days. It’s recommended to rest and avoid strenuous activities right after the procedure. Your healthcare provider will provide you with specific post-treatment guidelines, and make sure to schedule follow-up appointments to track your recovery progress.
