If you’re suffering from painful muscles or achy joints, – it’s very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with age”, it’s a bit of “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it’ll go away on its own.
You may have tried stretching, resting, heat, ice, maybe even just pushing through it – but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better!
If you are experiencing this type of pain, you’re not alone – we hear this type of thing all the time.
When presented with invasive and expensive options, such as joint replacement surgery and continual use of pain medications, it seems like there are no good, nor long-term solutions for your pain relief.
Here at Pivotal Integrative Medicine, we specialize in correcting your body, making you feel better again, and getting you back to doing the things you love.

Cold Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help accelerate your healing process. Laser treatment can be used on people suffering from acute and chronic conditions in order to eliminate pain and swelling, increase functionality, and reduce spasms.
Trigger Point Injections
Here at Pivotal Integrative Medicine, we are proud to offer trigger point injections for patients struggling with fibromyalgia, tension headaches, myofascial pain, and muscle pain in the arms, legs, lower back and neck.
During your appointment, we will locate the area where you are experiencing pain and inject small amounts of anesthetic to help alleviate your symptoms.
This procedure is safe and the risk of possible complications is very low. You may experience soreness or numbness at the injection site for a temporary period of time. While you should avoid strenuous activity for a few days, you should be able to actively use your muscles immediately following treatment.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Pivotal Integrative Medicine is proud to offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to our patients. PRP is widely used to treat musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, such as tendonitis, ligament sprains, muscle strains, and joint arthropathies. It is believed to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
PRP injections are used to manage pain and improve joint function in patients with osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee, hip, and shoulder joints, by promoting cartilage repair and reducing inflammation.
How does it work?
Our blood predominantly consists of plasma, which carries red and white blood cells and platelets. PRP is created by drawing some of the patient’s own blood and then using a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets within a sample of the plasma. This concentrated sample of platelets is then combined with the original blood sample. We can then inject this platelet-rich blood into the treatment area.
This enriched plasma has special healing properties because it’s packed with platelets and growth factors – substances that support the body’s own repair mechanisms. Our providers can inject this mixture into an injured area, like a sore muscle or damaged joint, to help support the localized healing process.
Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
We’re dedicated to offering innovative solutions for your well-being. Explore the benefits of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy – a cutting-edge treatment designed to address chronic pain and enhance overall wellness.
How Does It Work?

Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is a modality that is used to help reduce muscle pain, joint inflammation, and increase range of motion. This is a popular treatment because it is a non-invasive, painless procedure that achieves results for people dealing with pain. The ultrasound device is very simple to use, and only requires a small amount of gel applied to the skin in order to treat the tissue. The gel helps to conduct the sound waves from the transducer. The end of the transducer is placed on the gel and moves it across the skin while applying gentle pressure. Treatments are usually short, lasting 5-10 minutes.
Electric Muscle Stimulation
Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) works by stimulating muscles causing a pleasant muscle contraction. It has the ability to improve muscle strength, increase range of motion, and decrease swelling. EMS can also effectively treat trigger points and induce muscle relaxation.
Enhance Health and Vitality with Peptide Treatments
At Pivotal Integrative Medicine, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions for optimal health and wellness. Peptide treatments represent a revolutionary approach to integrative medicine, leveraging the power of naturally occurring proteins to promote cellular communication and repair. These treatments are tailored to address a variety of health concerns, including improving energy levels, enhancing recovery, and supporting overall well-being. By utilizing peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, we can stimulate the body’s natural processes for a safer and more targeted therapeutic approach.
Peptide therapy offers an array of benefits, from boosting immune function and balancing hormones to improving skin health and increasing muscle mass. Whether you’re looking to combat the effects of aging, improve athletic performance, or enhance mental clarity, peptide treatments can be a game-changer. At Pivotal Integrative Medicine, we customize these therapies to meet your unique needs, ensuring that every patient receives a treatment plan that aligns with their specific health goals. Common peptides we utilize include BPC-157 for tissue repair, KPV for reducing inflammation, and GHK-Cu for anti-aging and tissue regeneration. Our peptides can be enhanced with NAD+, a coenzyme that plays a role in cellular regeneration.
Our team at Pivotal Integrative Medicine takes pride in offering evidence-based, holistic care with a personalized touch. Peptide treatments are non-invasive and well-tolerated, making them a viable option for individuals seeking alternatives to traditional medications. During your consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the right peptide protocol for you. By harnessing the therapeutic potential of peptides, we aim to help you achieve sustainable, long-term improvements in your health and vitality. Let us help you unlock your body’s full potential through innovative peptide therapy!
