MEDICAL TREATMENT

At West Ashley Wellness and Rehab our goal is to restore the health of the spine and body. We know that chronic pain can be debilitating, but it can be eased by accurate diagnosis and early intervention.


We focus on offering a blend of non-opioid medical treatment with our natural chiropractic therapies to provide effective pain relief.


Through these treatments we go beyond pain management to improve the strength of your body and spine to help you begin and maintain a pain free life.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points are knots of muscles that form under the skin when a muscle or a group of muscles will not relax, causing discomfort.


Trigger point injections are used to help eliminate this pain by injecting a local anesthetic and possibly a cortisteroid, directly into the area of concern.


Most patients are free from their original pain within a few hours and return to work the same day or next day. Trigger point injections are often able to alleviate pain for a period of a few days, to several months.

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that is mostly made of water and protein. Platelets are a type of blood cell that play a role in healing.


To collect plasma, a medical professional will perform a simple blood draw and use a machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.


Once platelets are injected into an area being treated, they break down and release compounds that help cells repair and renew.


PRP injections are used to treat numerous symptoms including, muscle injuries, arthritis related pain and joint injuries.

Acoustic Wave Therapy

Acoustic Wave Therapy, applied by SmartWave, uses the body's intrinsic repair mechanisms to tighten and repair injured tissue.


This painless procedure increases the blood flow to the treated area, stimulating growth of new blood vessels and growth factors, enhancing tissue growth and repair.


Through the power of sound waves you can experience pain relief and tissue repair in injuries all over the body.


SmartWave technology is also successfully used to treat Erectile Dysfunction.

Regenerative Medicine Therapy

Regenerative medicine is the process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells or tissues to restore or establish normal function.


Through this process there are several treatment options that can stimulate the body's own repair mechanisms to heal previously damaged cells or tissues.
