Toradol
For the pain that pills aren't touching. Strong, non-opioid relief that works in minutes, not an hour.
One ingredient, 30 mg of Toradol, given as a quick injection in the arm or hip. Book it for a migraine that won't quit, a flare of back or joint pain, a sports injury or a bad tooth day, when you need relief now and still need to drive home. A nurse reviews your history first, because Toradol isn't the right fit for everyone.
The anti-inflammatory emergency rooms reach for, straight into the muscle.
Toradol (ketorolac) is a prescription non-steroid anti-inflammatory in the same family as ibuprofen, but far stronger, and given into the muscle it reaches your blood in minutes instead of waiting on your stomach.
It's non-opioid, so it eases pain without the fog, the drowsiness or the habit, and you can drive home.
Because it's an NSAID, our nurse checks your history first. It isn't for everyone, including people with kidney problems, stomach ulcers or on blood thinners, and we'll tell you plainly.
What it does for you.
One ingredient, then how a booster gets it into you. Both are the whole story.
Ketorolac blocks the enzymes that make prostaglandins, the chemicals behind pain and swelling, which is the same way ibuprofen works, at a strength that rivals opioid pain medicine without touching the brain the way opioids do. Given into the muscle, it skips the stomach and reaches your blood in minutes, which is why emergency rooms use it for migraines, kidney stones and injuries. Relief usually starts in 15 to 30 minutes and holds for about six hours. Because it's an NSAID, it's not the right fit for everyone, and our nurse will ask about your kidneys, your stomach and any blood thinners before giving it.
A booster is a small injection into the muscle of your upper arm or hip. Swallowed, a nutrient has to get through your digestive system first, and only part of it reaches your blood. Given this way it skips the gut, so more of it reaches you. A nurse checks in with you, gives the injection, and you're on your way. Most people say it's easier than a flu vaccine. Add it to a drip and it happens during the same visit.
Who books Toradol.
When the pills won't stay down or won't touch it, and you need to be functional this afternoon.
The weekend the back goes out, or the knee that flares after a long run.
Sprains, strains and the day-after soreness from a hard game or race.
The throbbing tooth or sinus pressure that has to wait for the appointment.
Drips that go well with Toradol.
Toradol on its own is five minutes of strong relief. If the pain comes with nausea, dehydration or a rough night, these three are the drips built around it.
Book it alone and you're in and out in about five minutes. Or add it to any drip and it happens during the same visit. Members save 25%, and the Booster membership covers four a month.
Our mobile concierge brings any drip to your home, office or hotel anywhere in the Birmingham area for a flat $50 travel fee, and the nurse can give Toradol during the same visit.

Questions about the Toradol booster.
How long does a Toradol booster take?
About five minutes in the lounge, including the nurse's review. Relief usually starts within 15 to 30 minutes and holds for about six hours.
Can I walk in for a Toradol booster?
Yes, once you have been in before. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. Your intro stays on file for three years, and after that you can walk in any time we're open. If you get migraines, do the intro on a good day so the bad days are walk-ins.
How is Toradol different from the Migraine Relief drip?
Fluids and nausea. The drip is Toradol plus Zofran and magnesium in a liter of fluids over 30 to 45 minutes, for a migraine with nausea and dehydration behind it. The booster is Toradol alone in five minutes. If you can keep water down and just need the pain gone, this is the one.
Is Toradol an opioid?
No. It's a non-steroid anti-inflammatory, in the same family as ibuprofen, at prescription strength. No fog, no drowsiness, and you can drive home.
Who shouldn't get Toradol?
People with kidney problems, a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, those on blood thinners, and anyone pregnant. Our nurse asks before every dose, and if it isn't right for you we'll say so and point you to a better fit.
Can I add it to a drip?
Yes. Boosters are given during any drip visit, and Toradol is the add people pair with Max Hydration or Athlete Recovery when pain is part of the day.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
