Our Procedures

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy utilizes extreme cold temperatures to trigger the body’s healing responses, reduce inflammation, and boost recovery. Exposing the body or specific areas to cold helps decrease pain and accelerate the repair of damaged tissues, making it a popular choice for athletes and individuals with chronic pain.

Cupping/Guasha and Scraping

Cupping and Guasha (scraping) are ancient techniques used to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. Cupping involves creating suction on the skin to draw blood flow to the surface, while Guasha uses a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin, promoting better blood flow and reducing stiffness. Both methods are effective in enhancing relaxation and easing discomfort.

Injections

Our injection therapies provide targeted relief for a variety of conditions, including joint pain and muscle injuries. From IM/SubQ Injection, Mito Shot (NAD+), Glutathione Push, Recovery and Repair IV, Immune Shield, and many more, these injections are designed to address specific issues and support faster recovery.

Sports Medicine

Sports medicine at Upgrade PDX focuses on preventing and treating injuries while optimizing athletic performance. Our services include personalized assessments, rehabilitation programs, and injury prevention strategies, all aimed at helping you achieve your peak performance and maintain overall physical health.

Aesthetics

Cryotherapy aesthetics utilizes noninvasive, high-intensity cold to target stubborn fat cells. This is generically called “cryolipolysis.” The intense cold damages the fat cells, leading to an immune response that then removes the dead fat cells and debris from the body.

The goal of cryolipolysis is not weight loss but rather to reduce areas of fat that don't respond to diet or exercise. Depending on the amount of fat and the number of treatments, the response can take from a week to several months. A small area typically requires 3-5 sessions.

 

This procedure can easily be combined with our Ignite Medical Weight Loss approach.

 

The technique can be applied to multiple areas such as the abdomen & love handles, thighs, Hips and buttocks, upper arms, and even the chin and neck. We call this cryo-slimming

 

A modified version can be used for facial skin tightening, acne or stretch mark treatments!
