DR. CRAYTON EXPLAINS WHY HE USES INFUSION THERAPY

Infusion Therapy is provided to people who need to receive nutritional or other medicines, which cannot be treated with drugs by mouth. The infusion of drugs or nutrients directly into the body, through veins, muscles, or under the skin, makes for a more exacting and effective treatment.

At The Arthritis and Infusion Center, only about 50% of Dr. Hulon Crayton’s patients actually need Infusion Therapy. However, those who receive this option experience a much better quality of life as a result.  

“Prior to this advanced technology, I’d actually have to watch patients’ health dwindle before my very eyes. Now, medical science has brought this more direct treatment forward, much to my relief. Although I did not create the technology, I’ve learned how to use it and have mastered the process, which brings relief to my patients,” said Dr. Crayton. 

Other physicians have also seen the benefit of infusions, and The Arthritis and Infusion Center infuses medication for Neurologists, Primary Care Physicians, Gastroenterologists, as well as Dermatologists. (Special note: Dr. Crayton does not infuse chemotherapy drugs.) 

Infusion Therapy isn’t for every patient of The Arthritis and Infusion Center.  Some medications are available by mouth and others can be injected. However, many of the newer medications are only available by Infusion Therapy, which just makes sense as an option for those who may have been suffering for years.

Dr. Crayton reminds his patients:  “Pain is not normal. Let us help.” If you would like to see if Infusion Therapy may be helpful to your condition, contact The Arthritis and Infusion Center at 873-6748.
