DR. KATIE KINASCHUK
Regenerative and Aesthetic Medicine
BSc. with Distinction, MD with Specialization in Research, CCFP
Dr. Katie Kinaschuk’s Regenerative Sports Medicine practice specializes in Platelet-Rich Plasma and Prolotherapy, two advanced, non-surgical treatments that harness the body’s natural healing abilities to address a range of musculoskeletal and pain-related issues. These therapies promote tissue repair, offering relief from both acute and chronic pain while improving mobility and function.

Dr. Kinaschuk combines her expertise in ultrasound-guided procedures with personalized treatment plans to deliver effective, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s unique needs, supporting optimal healing and enhanced quality of life.
HYDRODISSECTION (HD) / PERINEURAL INJECTIONS
Indication: Hydrodissections/ perineural injections are used for treating myofascial dysfunction and nerve entrapment conditions. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing chronic pain, limited mobility, or nerve-related symptoms. Common areas treated include the fascia of the shoulder, back, and neck for myofascial dysfunction, peripheral nerves, such as the median and ulnar nerves, and occipital nerves experiencing entrapment, leading to headaches.
Mechanism of Action: Hydrodissections/ perineural injections involve the injection of a 5% dextrose solution between the fascial planes or around nerves. This creates a separation of tissues, reducing adhesions and relieving pressure on entrapped nerves. The fluid acts to mechanically release the fascia or nerve from surrounding structures, promoting improved mobility, reduced pain, and decreased nerve irritation, as well as promoting a reduction in inflammation and pain modulation, secondary to the effects of dextrose on tissues.

"In my practice, I am dedicated to providing expert care in regenerative therapies. With ultrasound guidance and evidence-based techniques, I ensure accuracy and quality in the delivery of regenerative injections. My goal is to help patients regain their quality of life, return to sport, reduce pain, and enhance their overall well-being."
