Types of Appointments

We’d like to tell you about the appointment types that you can book online. We realized that many patients didn’t know we offered different appointment types, nor did they understand what they are and what the patient should be booking. 

So we have separated the appointment types, provided a brief explanation, and allowed ONLINE BOOKING for all of them. We will also be updating our website with more detailed information on the different types of appointments.

We are encouraging our patients who want to book their appointments, injections and treatments online to know a little bit about them so they can be sure they are booking the right injection or appointment. Patients don’t always know what type of injection they are getting; they just ask for their injection appointment when they call to book it. Our staff and Dr. Nowazek know what you want, but the computer might not. So, knowing what type of appointment or treatment you are getting and want to book, before you go online is important. 

Here is a brief explanation of the different appointment types that are available with ONLINE BOOKING

  1. Repeat Consultations – This is the appointment type where you sit down with your doctor to go over your health concerns and any progress or changes that have happened. We also answer any questions and make changes to your treatment plan as needed. Often your treatment plan will be complex, with many different steps and stages to accomplish when treating the cause of your health concerns. We will go over diet, lifestyle, exercise, and oral supplements like vitamins and herbs that you should be taking as well as dosage for your health condition. 
  2. Micro-Vitamin Injections – These injections are 1mL or small volume vitamin injections into the arm. It is sometimes known as B12 injections, but that is not all we can do. We can put so many different vitamins into the injection.  The injection is made up of vitamins and supplements injected into the arm in smaller doses than IV, but at a higher dose than diet alone. 
  3. IV Treatments – These are high doses of vitamins, herbs and supplements. The injection bypasses the bowel, gets to the cells in the highest dose possible. With this type of injection, we can put much more in it than the micro-vitamin injection and a much higher dose, the list of ingredients possible is very large.   
  4. Joint Injection Therapies – Prolotherapy or prolotherapy with ozone (prolozone) are  injections directly into areas of injury or pain. The name prolotherapy or prolozone is normally used for injections around tendons and ligaments.  Advanced natural joint injection therapy covers much more than just tendons and ligaments. These injections are often used for any pain, injury or inflammation in many different areas of the body like shoulders, knees, elbows, hips, low back, and ankles, where we inject the solution directly into your painful area or area that is injured or painful. This therapy can be used if diet, supplements, and herbs just aren’t going to be enough for the pain and if it’s really severe or chronic.  This therapy can also be used in combination with the IV injections once the main areas of pain and injury are doing better.
  5. Ozone – Ozone treatments can be added to the IV vitamin or joint injection treatments, so there is no separate appointment type for booking for it; you may already be getting it as part of those bookable treatments.
