The latest in minimally invasive care — DochuTherapy

Transarterial injection therapy, called Dochu Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require surgery or hospitalization. Similar to an IV drip, medication is precisely delivered into the blood vessels causing the pain, helping to suppress inflammation and alleviate symptoms at the root. The procedure takes only about five minutes, making it a low-burden option that is popular among busy individuals and those who wish to continue their active lifestyles.
