Regenerative Injection Therapies in Edmonds & Renton, WA
Healing Peak offers regenerative injection therapies, including prolotherapy and platelet rich plasma (PRP), at our Edmonds and Renton clinics. Dr. Amber Nixon, a board certified Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncturist, uses these treatments to help patients with musculoskeletal pain without surgery or lifelong pain medication.
Our Injection Therapies
- Prolotherapy: an injection of a natural irritant solution into an injured or degenerated ligament or tendon to trigger the body’s healing response.
- Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP: a treatment that concentrates platelets from your own blood and injects them into the painful area to support tissue repair.
Which Injection Therapy Is Right for Me?
Prolotherapy is almost always done first. It costs less, and if PRP is needed later, prolotherapy helps the PRP work more effectively. Dr. Nixon will recommend the best option for your injury or joint condition after an initial consultation.

Is Injection Therapy Right for Me?
Prolotherapy and PRP are not right for everyone. People who are in good physical condition and generally healthy are the best candidates, and these treatments work only as well as your body’s healing response does. Dr. Nixon can help improve your foundational health so you can become a good candidate. All patients are screened before their procedure visit, and these treatments are not covered by insurance.
