Minimally Invasive Care

Injection Therapies

Precise, outpatient injections that deliver potent, localized relief directly to the source of your discomfort — a targeted alternative to invasive surgery or long-term reliance on systemic medications.

Simple, transparent, results-driven medicine

At Health Hub Clinic, our care model centers on simple, transparent, and results-driven medicine. When chronic musculoskeletal conditions or complex nerve discomfort limits your daily performance, finding a precise, targeted intervention is paramount. Our suite of specialized outpatient injections is designed to help you bypass the recovery time and risks associated with major operations. Explore the pathways below to see which approach may be the right fit for your recovery timeline.

01

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Advanced Tissue Recovery

PRP therapy sits at the forefront of autologous regenerative care—meaning it leverages the concentrated power of your own biology. Connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and joint cartilage have notoriously poor natural blood supplies, which is precisely why they struggle to heal from chronic wear or sports injuries. PRP therapy overrides this biological bottleneck.

Your blood naturally carries components called platelets, which are packed with specialized proteins known as growth factors. These growth factors act like structural project managers. When introduced into a damaged environment, they can signal cell reproduction, support the clearing of cellular debris, and aid the body's natural matrix deposition to rebuild tendon and ligament tissue.

The Clinical Process

  1. The Autologous Collection: A clinical provider performs a quick, routine blood draw from your arm.
  2. Centrifugal Concentration: The sample is placed into a specialized medical centrifuge. By spinning the sample at precise high speeds, we separate out the heavy red blood cells and isolate the light plasma layer, super-concentrating the platelets to anywhere from 2 to 8 times baseline levels.
  3. Pinpoint Reintroduction: This nutrient-dense serum is carefully collected and introduced directly into the affected joint space or tendon group. Our clinicians frequently utilize real-time ultrasound guidance to ensure the solution is delivered with exact anatomical accuracy, where it may support localized healing pathways.

Core Applications

  • Chronic Tendon Care: Stubborn lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), patellar tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendon discomfort.
  • Joint Longevity: Managing the chronic pain and stiffness associated with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis.

Fee Schedule

Single Procedure Rate$700

Full biological processing, preparation, and precision application.

Structured Therapy Series$1,800

Series of 3 Injections — optimized for patients whose recovery plan benefits from a multi-stage cellular priming sequence over several months to support sustained progress.

Standard Pain Injections

Immediate Anti-Inflammatory Intervention

Standard localized pain injections—commonly referred to as corticosteroid or cortisone shots—are designed to rapidly interrupt severe, debilitating inflammation. While acute inflammation is a natural response to injury, chronic or hyper-localized inflammation can trap a joint in a continuous cycle of swelling, stiffness, and progressive tissue irritation.

Corticosteroids function on a cellular level by turning down the “chemical volume” of your pain pathways. They inhibit the localized production of inflammatory compounds, delivering rapid relief precisely where the tissue is most irritated.

Bypassing Systemic Side Effects

Oral anti-inflammatory medications must pass through your digestive system, metabolize through your liver, and circulate throughout your entire bloodstream, meaning only a fraction of the medication reaches your actual point of pain.

A standard localized injection bypasses systemic circulation entirely. The clinician delivers a highly concentrated, localized dose of the corticosteroid compound directly into the irritated joint space or surrounding bursa sac. This provides direct, efficient intervention to calm acute swelling, ease localized discomfort, and temporarily restore pain-free joint movement within days.

Core Applications

  • Acute Inflammatory Flares: Severe joint osteoarthritis pain spikes, acute bursitis, carpal tunnel irritation, and localized joint synovitis.

Fee Schedule

Flat Rate$450

Includes localized joint or soft-tissue anti-inflammatory medication delivery and application.

Spinal Steroid Injections

Targeted Relief for Radicular Nerve Pain

Discomfort originating in the spine frequently involves radiculopathy—pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down an extremity (such as sciatica) due to a pinched spinal nerve root. This irritation is typically caused by a structural variable, such as a herniated disc, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).

When a spinal nerve root is compressed, it becomes highly swollen and hypersensitive. This localized swelling exacerbates the problem, jamming the nerve further against the surrounding bone or disc tissue. Spinal steroid injections use a targeted delivery of corticosteroid medication to break this feedback loop by drastically reducing nerve root swelling, which can help relieve mechanical pressure and ease radiating pain.

Advanced Delivery Pathways

Spinal injections are highly precise procedures utilizing advanced anatomical targeting to maximize medication concentration directly around the compressed nerve:

Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI): The anti-inflammatory medication is introduced into the broader epidural space—the fluid-filled sleeve surrounding your spinal cord and nerve roots. This pathway is ideal for addressing multi-level irritation or widespread bilateral discomfort.

Transforaminal Steroid Injections: This technique targets a highly specific individual nerve root. The clinician introduces the medication directly into the neural foramen—the small lateral opening where the specific nerve root exits the spinal column. This allows for maximum potential benefit directly at the exact site of structural compression.

Core Applications

  • Neurological Spine Irritation: Lumbar or cervical radiculopathy (sciatica), spinal canal stenosis, and symptomatic disc herniations.

Fee Schedule

Flat Rate$900

Includes advanced epidural or transforaminal nerve-targeted application and clinical delivery to the lumbar spine.

Clinical Transparency Notice

Because every individual relies on their custom biology, specific physical baseline, structural anatomy, and condition severity, clinical outcomes can vary and can never be promised or guaranteed. Our medical team at Health Hub Clinic is committed to an open, transparent evaluation process, helping you determine which of these minimally invasive options is the most appropriate path to discuss for your unique health journey.
