We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Elaine Marquez McHugh, NMD, to Olympus Movement Performance! Dr. Elaine's passions in medicine include regenerative and anti-aging medicine, sports and performance medicine, mind body medicine, integrative medicine, and functional medicine. Dr. Elaine specializes in prolotherapy, PRP joint injections, PRP facial rejuvenation, IV therapy, and biofeedback. She treats a wide range of ailments seen in primary care to more complex chronic disease and stealth infections such as mold infections and Lyme disease, as well as mental health, stress, anxiety, and adrenal fatigue.  Dr. Elaine Marquez McHugh, NMD Specialized Therapeutic Services Prolotherapy Prolotherapy is a form of regenerative injection therapy for those with joint pain and/or ligament/tendon injury. This therapy may be indicated for those with minor pain to those who are avoiding surgery. I will be injecting your joint(s) with a combination of dextrose (sugar), lidocaine, and saline in order to induce healing using your body’s own healing mechanisms. If you are unsure if this therapy is right for you, please book the Initial 30 Minute Targeted Visit for Therapies for a consultation and physical exam. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Joint Injection Therapy PRP joint injections are another form of regenerative injections for those with joint pain and/or ligament/tendon injury. This therapy may be indicated for those with minor pain to those who are avoiding surgery. I will be drawing your blood, spinning it down, and drawing up and injecting your joint(s) with the plasma that is rich in platelets, growth factors, and cytokines that induce healing in that/those joint(s). If you are unsure if this therapy is right for you, please book the Initial 30 Minute Targeted Visit for Therapies for a consultation and physical exam. Perineural / Neural / Trigger Point Injection Therapy Similar to prolotherapy, this regenerative injection therapy uses similar ingredients but is directed more for nerve and muscle pain. This treatment may also be used aesthetically for scar therapy. If you are unsure if this therapy is right for you, please book the Initial 30 Minute Targeted Visit for Therapies for a consultation and physical exam. PRP Facial Rejuvenation PRP facials utilize a combination of platelet rich plasma and microneedling to induce your body’s healing cascade, which will eventually induce collagen and elastin formation, to reduce wrinkles, decrease hyperpigmentation, reduce acne scars, and even out skin tone. The facial injections also utilize the PRP to induce collagen and elastin formation in targeted spots, such as deep wrinkles, under-eye dark circles and bags, and lips. Results best seen over time and with an initial series of treatments, then maintenance treatments. IV Nutrient Therapy IV nutrient therapy can be beneficial for everyone, even those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is an efficient way to get nutrients for our body’s needs directly to the bloodstream. Various standard bags are offered from a Myer’s-type cocktail, to rehydration after illness, exercise/sports, or a night out drinking, to boosting your immune system, as well as specialized bags for anti-aging and adjunctive cancer treatment.

It helps to stimulate healing, immune function, and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest). It is helpful for many ailments, such as stress, GI concerns, hypertension, PMS, and much more. Craniosacral Therapy CST is a type of therapeutic bodywork and form of energy medicine that uses gentle touch to manipulate joints of the cranium, spine, and pelvis. The manipulation of the cranium and pelvis also helps to regulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.

Naturopathic medicine is a valuable and holistic approach to healthcare that addresses the root cause of health concerns and promotes overall wellness. Unlike traditional Western medicine, naturopathy focuses on prevention and utilizes natural remedies such as herbs, supplements, and lifestyle modifications to support the body's natural healing process. With its emphasis on personalized care and patient empowerment, naturopathic medicine has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach healthcare and lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes for patients.
