Specialty treatment for your pain
We provide our patients with an array of targeted treatments designed to get them back to doing what they love, free from pain and limitations. Understanding that no two patients are the same, we take each individual’s unique areas of pain into account and craft treatment plans best suited to their goals.
Additionally, we offer detailed follow-up care to ensure that our patients continue to experience relief and long-term success.
Ketamine therapy
Ketamine targets the brain’s key receptor sites and helps regulate the balance of neurotransmitters, promoting rapid relief from chronic pain by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of discomfort.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution, often containing dextrose (a type of sugar), into a damaged joint, ligament, or tendon. This will stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by causing a mild inflammatory response at the site of the injury.
Nerve block therapy
As its name suggests, nerve block therapy is used to manage pain by interrupting or blocking the transmission of pain signals along specific nerves or nerve groups. Our practitioner injects medication, typically a local anesthetic, directly near the targeted nerves.
Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine aims to restore the function of injured or damaged tissues and organs. In our clinic, we utilize platelet-rich plasma, taking it out and then re-infusing the platelets back into the injured area so it heals the damaged tissue.
Transforming Patients’ Lives
“She has changed my life and I couldn't be happier with her!”
Hello, I started with Dr. Makrides about a year and a half ago. When I first met her walking was even horrible let alone anything else. She was very attentive and thorough. She uses different modalities from meds to injection in the lower back where I have multiple issues. She has changed my life and I couldn't be happier with her! I went from being able to nothing to be able to enjoy multiple outdoors activities and events with friends and family.

Dr. Makrides has been helpful, professional, and the backbone of my care. She takes her time with me, very accessible if needed, will go out of her way to make sure that I get any referrals done at the time of service.
I highly recommend seeking her care. She’s the easiest to communicate with, in any case.
