Regenerative INJECTION THERAPies
Regenerative Injections & Tissue Repair Support • Trigger Point Injections • Prolotherapy-Style Ligament & Tendon Support • Ozone Injections • Vitamin & Nutrient Injections
Injection Therapy is a highly effective, minimally invasive approach that accelerates healing, reduces pain, restores mobility, and enhances tissue repair. At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, we combine Eastern medicine principles with Western sports medicine, regenerative therapies, and functional diagnostics to deliver precise, targeted results.
These treatments are ideal for patients who want faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and long-term structural healing—especially when progress has plateaued with massage, chiropractic care, or physical therapy alone.
What Injection Therapy Treats
Injection Therapy can support a wide range of conditions, including:
Muscle tightness & spasms
Tendonitis (Achilles, elbow, shoulder)
Myofascial pain & trigger points
Chronic neck or low back pain
Sciatic pain
Joint instability
Overuse injuries
Sports-related strains & sprains
Scar tissue restriction
Postural stress injuries
Nerve irritation
Headaches & migraines
Injection therapy is often combined with acupuncture, cupping, corrective exercise, and sports medicine techniques to create a multi-layered healing plan.
Types of Injection Therapy Treatments
Targeted Injections for Pain Relief, Tissue Repair, Ligament Support & Inflammation Reduction
Trigger Point Injections (TPI)
Trigger points are hyper-irritable knots within muscle fibers that restrict movement and cause pain. TPI uses a fine needle and natural solution to:
Release muscle contraction
Increase blood flow
Reduce pain and nerve irritation
Improve range of motion
Break chronic pain cycles
TPIs are especially beneficial for whiplash, tension headaches, shoulder pain, low back pain, piriformis syndrome, and chronic postural tension.
Prolotherapy (Regenerative Ligament & Tendon Injections)
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection technique that stimulates the body's natural repair mechanisms to strengthen weakened ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue. It is ideal for chronic pain that has not responded to physical therapy, chiropractic care, or massage.
Benefits of Prolotherapy:
Strengthens lax or overstretched ligaments
Improves joint stability
Stimulates collagen regeneration
Reduces chronic inflammation
Improves mobility and long-term function
Helps prevent recurrent injuries
Conditions commonly treated with Prolotherapy:
Chronic low back pain
Sacroiliac (SI) joint instability
Knee osteoarthritis
Hip instability
Shoulder injuries (labrum, rotator cuff support)
Ankle instability
Tendon and ligament sprains
Overuse injuries in athletes
Prolotherapy is an excellent option for patients who want non-surgical, regenerative healing and long-term structural improvement.
Ozone Injection Therapy (Prolozone-Style Oxygen Healing)
Ozone injection therapy uses a combination of natural anesthetic, nutrients, and medical ozone to stimulate cellular repair, oxygenation, and mitochondrial activation in injured or painful tissues.
This therapy is ideal for patients who need faster healing, deeper anti-inflammatory support, or advanced regenerative effects.
Benefits of Ozone Injection Therapy:
Increases oxygen delivery to tissues
Reduces inflammation
Improves mitochondrial function
Enhances circulation and lymphatic flow
Stimulates cartilage and connective tissue repair
Accelerates recovery from injury or surgery
Conditions commonly treated:
Arthritis and degenerative joint pain
Tendon and ligament injuries
Chronic muscle pain
Scar tissue adhesions
Nerve irritation
Post-surgical recovery
Chronic inflammatory conditions
Ozone is also synergistic with acupuncture, PEMF, red light therapy, and functional medicine protocols.

Vitamin & Nutrient Therapy Injections
Targeted nutrient injections provide rapid replenishment of key vitamins and cofactors needed for cellular repair, detoxification, and energy production.
Depending on your needs, these therapies may support:
Mitochondrial function
Nervous system regulation
Detox pathways
Muscle recovery
Immune function
Hormonal health
Mood balance
This is especially beneficial for patients with fatigue, chronic illness, mold toxicity, post-viral symptoms, or nutrient depletion.

Why Injections Work So Well
Unlike oral supplements or general therapies, injections deliver medicine directly into the tissue—allowing for:
Immediate local action
Enhanced absorption
Faster pain relief
Better penetration into scar tissue
Deeper release than massage alone
Improved mobility and muscle relaxation
Patients often experience relief within minutes to hours, depending on the condition.
A Holistic & Regenerative Approach
At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, Injection Therapy is never used in isolation. When appropriate, treatments may be combined with:
→ PEMF & Nervous System Therapies
→ Functional Medicine & Lab Testing
This integrative combination supports both the structure and the biochemistry of healing — creating faster, more complete, and longer-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do injections hurt?
Most patients describe only mild pressure or brief discomfort. We use fine needles and gentle technique, and treatments are typically well tolerated—even in sensitive areas.
2. How many injection therapy treatments will I need?
Acute issues may respond in 1–3 sessions, while chronic or long-standing conditions often require a series of treatments for lasting results.
3. Can injection therapy be combined with acupuncture or cupping?
Yes. Injection therapy pairs extremely well with acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, corrective exercise, and functional medicine. Combining therapies often produces faster, more complete healing.
4. Are these injections safe?
Yes. We use natural, non-steroidal solutions chosen for your individual needs. Side effects are minimal and may include temporary soreness or mild bruising at the injection site.
5. What is the difference between trigger point injections and acupuncture?
Acupuncture stimulates neuromuscular and energetic pathways using fine needles. Trigger Point Injections deliver a small amount of solution directly into a muscle knot, releasing deeper tension and restoring function in ways manual therapy alone cannot.
6. Can injection therapy help nerve pain or sciatica?
Yes. Trigger point and regenerative injections can reduce muscle spasm, open restricted tissue, and relieve pressure on irritated nerves, often easing conditions such as sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and cervical nerve compression.
7. Is injection therapy helpful for athletes and active individuals?
Absolutely. These therapies accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, improve biomechanics, and support tendon and ligament healing—helping athletes return to training safely and quickly.
8. What is prolotherapy and how does it work?
Prolotherapy is a regenerative technique designed to strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons. By stimulating the body’s repair mechanisms, it promotes collagen regeneration, enhances stability, and reduces chronic pain.
9. What conditions are best suited for prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is ideal for:
SI joint instability
Chronic low back pain
Shoulder and rotator cuff support
Knee or ankle instability
Tendon and ligament sprains
Overuse injuries in athletes
Degenerative joint pain
It is especially helpful when pain repeatedly returns due to underlying instability.
10. What is ozone injection therapy, and how is it different from prolotherapy?
Ozone injection therapy uses a blend of nutrients and medical ozone to increase oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate mitochondrial repair.
Prolotherapy strengthens ligaments and tendons; ozone therapy enhances oxygen delivery and cellular regeneration, making it highly effective for arthritic joints, chronic inflammatory pain, and slow-healing tissues.
11. Is ozone injection therapy safe?
Yes. Ozone injection therapy has a strong safety profile when administered correctly. Most patients tolerate it exceptionally well. Temporary soreness or pressure at the injection site is common as tissues respond and circulation increases.
12. How many prolotherapy or ozone sessions will I need?
Many patients notice improvement within 1–3 sessions, though deeper ligament or tendon issues typically require 3–6 treatments. The number depends on severity, duration, inflammation, and your body’s healing capacity.
13. Do you use steroids or dextrose in these injections?
No. We do not use corticosteroids or traditional dextrose-based prolotherapy solutions. Our injections use natural, non-steroidal formulations designed to support tissue repair, circulation, and inflammation reduction—ideal for sensitive patients and those seeking holistic, regenerative care.
