Injection Treatment Procedures for Pain Relief and Regenerative Therapy
Benefits: Reduce acute muscle pain and repetitive overuse/strain injuries.
Trigger Point Injection Trigger point Injection is an injection technique frequently used to help patients with
pain resulting from an acute muscle injury or from a variety of repetitive strain injuries. It has been in use
for over 70 years. A portion of a muscle is tighter than the tissue around it, reducing the normal blood flow
through that part of the muscle. This trigger point becomes tender, the muscle tires more easily, it
ultimately becomes weaker, and it may Cause significant radiating pain. This positive feedback loop
between the spine and a group of receptors in a portion of the muscle can be thought Of as a "glitch" in
the software of the neural system that blocks the normal reparative process. By briefly interfering using
the anesthetic properties of lidocaine, and the microinjuty caused by the needle point, the normal
reparative process can be jumpstarted. Occasionally, a steroid medication may be used for bursitis or
certain inflammatory conditions.
Benefits: Reduce pain and scarring after injury or trauma.
Neural Therapy Neural Therapy is a minimally invasive injection technique used by physicians to help
patients with pain related to Scars. It requires the injection of local anesthetic (Procaine or Lidocaine) into
the scar tissue of the skin (Old Or new), but does not involve injections into any other parts of the body.
The purpose is to decrease pain and binding associated with the scar tissue. Since the scar is often
associated with a traumatic injury, it is not uncommon for patients during the procedure to have some
recall as to the Original trauma causing the injury. Since this may result in some temporary anxiety and/or
apprehension regarding the procedure, you should make your physician aware of any concerns you may
have so that he/she can discuss with you any additional interventions that may be of benefit. Typically
scars will soften and "relax" over a series of treatments allowing for greater mobility as the scar is
remodeled biophysically and mentally.
Benefits: Reduce Pain and Improve Function in your joints!
Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive injection procedure aimed at stimulating the body’s natural healing
response by introducing an irritant solution—often dextrose—into damaged tissues, such as ligaments,
tendons, or joints. This induces a mild, controlled inflammation that promotes the release of growth
factors and supports tissue repair. The primary benefits of prolotherapy are pain reduction and improved
healing of chronic musculoskeletal injuries and joint instability, which can result in enhanced mobility and
function. Prolotherapy is often used when traditional treatments have failed, providing an alternative to
surgery and potentially reducing reliance on pain medications. Many patients report long-lasting pain
relief and better quality of life after several treatment sessions.
Benefits: Acupuncture nurtures the whole person, reduces pain and inflammation and
fosters harmony between physical health, emotional well-being, and inner peace.
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine that
involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote the
smooth flow of energy, or "qi." From a modern perspective, acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and
connective tissue, which can improve blood circulation, release endorphins, and calm the nervous
system. This dual effect allows the body to engage its natural healing mechanisms, reducing pain,
inflammation, and stress. On a mental and emotional level, acupuncture is known to promote relaxation,
relieve anxiety, and encourage mental clarity. Many people also experience a deeper sense of connection
and balance, which supports healing of not only the body but also the mind and spirit.
Benefits: Reduce wrinkles in face+neck, reduce pain and improve function in your
joints!
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses the natural healing properties of one’s own blood to rejuvenate
skin or aid in joint repair. For facials, a small sample of blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate
the platelets, and then the PRP is either injected or applied via microneedling into the skin. This
stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity and skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and can help with
acne scars for a more youthful appearance.
In joint therapy, PRP is injected directly into the affected joint, such as in cases of osteoarthritis or tendon
injuries. The growth factors in PRP promote tissue repair, decrease inflammation, reduce pain, and
enhance joint function. The benefits of PRP therapy for both facials and joints include using the body’s
own natural resources, resulting in low risk of allergic reactions, minimal downtime, less reliance on
medications, and improved recovery or rejuvenation outcomes.
Benefits: Improved muscle mass, fat loss, better sleep, increased libido, reduced
inflammation, and enhanced cognition, but injectable peptides deliver more reliable,
rapid, and targeted results as compared to oral forms.
Injectable peptides are short chains of amino acids delivered directly into the bloodstream, offering almost
immediate and highly effective results by bypassing the digestive system. Oral peptides are taken by
mouth as supplements, but their effectiveness is limited because much of the peptide content is broken
down in the digestive tract, leading to lower absorption rates.
Injectable Peptides
Injectable peptides can benefit health by improving muscle growth, speeding recovery, boosting
metabolism, regulating hormones, enhancing skin rejuvenation, aiding fat loss, and strengthening the
immune system. These peptides have high bioavailability, fast absorption (sometimes in minutes), and
precise dosing, making them more potent for anti-aging, workout recovery, and metabolic support.
Oral Peptides
Oral peptides are easier to take but often have absorption rates of 50% or less due to degradation by
stomach acid and liver enzymes. Although convenient and cheaper per dose, they may deliver weaker or
inconsistent benefits, mainly for general wellness or mild anti-aging support.

As a Naturopathic Physician, I’m selective about what I bring into my practice — which is why I’m excited to offer NOUVADerm Laser at Wild Wellness. This 1927nm Thulium laser harnesses vis medicatrix naturae, the body’s own healing wisdom, to stimulate cellular regeneration and address the visible signs of aging at their physiological root, not just the surface.

By stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, NOUVADerm helps improve skin texture, enhance radiance, and promote healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s unique goals, ensuring a personalized approach to rejuvenation.
During the treatment, the laser is passed over the treatment area, creating a warm, tingling sensation. The procedure typically lasts between 15-30 minutes. The number of sessions required varies depending on individual skin conditions and desired results. Most patients see significant improvements after 1-3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Cellenis® DermaFiller is a biological filler prepared from components of the patient’s own blood. It combines platelet-rich plasma with a protein-based material made from platelet-poor plasma. The treatment is designed to add volume to selected areas of the face or body while supporting the skin’s natural processes.
Dr. Josh will discuss your goals, the treatment process, and whether Cellenis DermaFiller is appropriate for you during a consultation.
What makes Cellenis® DermaFiller distinctive is its combination of an immediate filling effect and platelet-derived growth factors. The protein-based material provides structure in the treated area, while the platelet-rich component is intended to support changes in skin texture and appearance over time. Your treatment plan and results will depend on your individual needs.
Services performed by Dr. Josh: Facials, hand injections, and joint injections.
