When Joint Pain Won't Let You Keep Up

This is your sub-headline

You've been active your whole life, and you're not ready to slow down — but a shoulder, knee, or hip that's been nagging you for months has other plans. You've tried rest, physiotherapy, or chiropractic care, and while it's helped, it hasn't fully resolved the ache that shows up every time you play pickleball, run, or get back on the tennis court. If you're weighing your options before considering surgery or long-term pain medication, prolotherapy and perineural injection therapy may be worth a conversation.

What Is Prolotherapy & Perineural Injection Therapy?

This is your sub-headline

Prolotherapy is a series of injections designed to stimulate your body's own repair response in the ligaments and tendons that stabilize a joint — commonly used for shoulders, hips, knees, and feet. Perineural injection therapy (PIT) is a gentler technique that targets irritated nerves just under the skin, and is especially effective for chronic headaches and nerve-related pain, often bringing noticeable relief right in the first session. Both are non-surgical, done right in our West Kelowna clinic, and require no significant downtime.

Delivered by a Naturopathic Doctor Specially Trained in Injection Therapy

This is your sub-headline

At NEXT Clinic, prolotherapy and perineural injection therapy are delivered by Dr. Bryn Bentham, ND, who is specially trained in both techniques. Dr. Bentham focuses on extremity joints — shoulders, hips, knees, and feet — rather than deep spinal injections, which require ultrasound guidance not currently offered at this location. We'd rather be upfront about what we treat than overpromise, so you know exactly what to expect before you book. As part of NEXT Clinic's multi-disciplinary team, Dr. Bentham can also coordinate with our chiropractors and physiotherapists when a combined approach makes sense.

Why Active Adults in West Kelowna Choose This Approach

This is your sub-headline

For patients who want to keep playing the sports and doing the activities they love, prolotherapy and perineural injection therapy offer a way to address joint and nerve pain without surgery or a long recovery. Many patients also use perineural injection therapy for chronic headache relief, with some noticing a difference after their very first visit. Every treatment plan is personalized to the joint or condition being treated, and NEXT Clinic offers direct billing to most extended health insurers so you can focus on your recovery, not the paperwork.

Naturopathic Medicine is a healthcare discipline that combines evidence-informed medical knowledge with regenerative therapies to support the body’s natural healing processes.

These minimally invasive treatments are designed to reduce pain, improve function, and promote tissue healing. Please note that general naturopathic medicine services are not offered at this time.
