How IV Infusion Therapy Relieves Pain
These infusions work through different mechanisms: lidocaine calms overactive nerve-pain signaling, ketorolac (Toradol) reduces inflammation as a non-opioid anti-inflammatory, and magnesium eases muscle tension and migraine. Delivered intravenously, they can reach therapeutic levels quickly when oral medications fall short.
Conditions We Treat
We use IV infusions for chronic and nerve-related pain, fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), chronic and acute migraines, muscle spasm, and pain flare-ups — especially when you are seeking non-opioid options.
What to Expect
Every infusion is ordered and supervised by a board-certified pain physician. We review your health, place a small IV, and monitor you continuously — lidocaine and similar infusions include cardiac monitoring. Sessions run 15 to 60 minutes, with a few minutes of observation afterward.
Who Is a Candidate
Adults with chronic, nerve-related, or treatment-resistant pain may be candidates. We review your history and current medications first; certain heart, kidney, or stomach conditions can make specific infusions unsafe, which is why each plan is individualized.
Pain Relief Infusions
| Infusion | Indications | Components | Duration | Price | Serious Contraindications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Continuous cardiac monitoring required throughout. |
| Toradol (Ketorolac)By consultation | Fast, non-opioid relief of acute pain, flare-ups, headaches, and inflammation. | Ketorolac, given IV (anti-inflammatory) | 15–30 min | $100avg / session | Kidney impairment, active stomach ulcers or bleeding, or pre-surgery. Short-term use only. |
| MagnesiumBy consultation | Migraines, muscle spasm and cramping, tension, and pain with a muscular component. | Magnesium sulfate in saline or dextrose | 30–45 min | $125avg / session | Severe kidney disease or certain heart-conduction problems. Given as a slow drip to avoid low blood pressure. |
| Myers' CocktailBy consultation | A vitamin-and-mineral blend for migraines, fatigue, low energy, and recovery — also eases some chronic pain. | Magnesium, calcium, vitamin C, B-complex & B12 | 30–45 min | $200avg / session | None significant — well tolerated by most. Reviewed against your health history first. |
Pain Infusions — Frequently Asked Questions
What is IV infusion therapy for pain?
IV infusion therapy delivers pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications directly into your bloodstream. It's used for chronic pain, nerve pain and migraines that haven't responded well to oral medications — and every infusion is supervised by a pain physician.
Are these infusions opioids?
No. Lidocaine, Toradol, magnesium and the Myers' cocktail are all non-opioid options, offering an alternative route to relief without opioid medications.
How long does a pain infusion take?
Most sessions take 15 to 60 minutes depending on the infusion. Your physician confirms the exact time at your consultation.
How much does IV pain infusion therapy cost?
Our pain infusions range from about $100 for a Toradol IV to $500 for a lidocaine infusion. Prices shown are average estimates; your final plan and pricing are confirmed at your consultation.
Do you offer ketamine infusions for pain?
Yes. Ketamine infusion therapy has its own dedicated page — visit our IV ketamine infusions page or call 951-900-3253 to learn more.
Where are your infusion clinics located?
UPC Regenerative Medicine has offices in Riverside (6900 Brockton Ave, Suite 203) and Menifee (27990 Sherman Road), California. Call 951-900-3253 to book your consultation.
How long does pain relief last?
It varies by infusion and condition. IV lidocaine, for example, can ease nerve pain for days to weeks after a session. Your physician will set realistic expectations for your situation.
How many sessions will I need?
Some people feel better after one session; others benefit from a short series. We tailor the number and spacing to your diagnosis and response.
How are IV infusions different from nerve blocks or oral medications?
Infusions deliver medication throughout the body via the bloodstream, while nerve blocks target a specific nerve. Compared with oral medications, IV delivery reaches therapeutic levels quickly and offers non-opioid options for hard-to-treat pain.
Do you take insurance?
These infusions are typically elective and paid out of pocket. We are transparent about pricing at your consultation and can provide a receipt for possible reimbursement.
