TORADOL INJECTION · EL PASO, TX
Toradol (ketorolac) injections for acute pain — migraines, muscle pain, post-procedure recovery. Administered by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC at Solas Health & Wellness, Westside El Paso.
QUICK ANSWER
Toradol (ketorolac) is a prescription-strength NSAID given as an intramuscular injection for fast, powerful pain relief. It works within 30–60 minutes and lasts 6–8 hours. It is used for migraines, acute muscle pain, back pain, post-procedure soreness, and inflammation — without the risks or side effects of opioid medications. At Solas Health & Wellness in El Paso, Toradol injections are administered by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC.
WHAT IS TORADOL
Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) is one of the most effective non-opioid pain medications available. When given as an injection, it absorbs directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely — delivering faster and more complete relief than oral NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen.
At Solas, Toradol injections are available as standalone visits or added to your IV therapy session — making them a convenient option for acute pain management in Westside El Paso.
TORADOL VS. ORAL NSAIDS
Oral ibuprofen (400–800mg) takes 45–90 minutes to reach peak levels and absorption varies based on what you've eaten. A Toradol IM injection reaches therapeutic levels in 30–60 minutes with near-complete absorption — making it significantly faster and more reliable for acute pain episodes.
A note on safety: Toradol is a short-term medication — typically used for a single dose or up to 5 days. It is not appropriate for chronic pain management or for patients with certain kidney, GI, or bleeding conditions. Celeste will review your health history before administering any injection.
ADD-ON OPTIONS
Toradol works especially well combined with IV hydration or a Myers' Cocktail. Many patients who come in for migraine relief or post-event recovery choose to add Toradol to their IV drip for comprehensive relief in a single visit.
Myers' Cocktail, hydration, immunity drips — combine with Toradol for full-body recovery.
B12, glutathione, and other shots can be added alongside Toradol in one visit.
Pair NAD+ with Toradol for pain relief plus deep cellular recovery in one session.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Toradol (ketorolac) injections are used for acute, short-term pain relief.

It is a non-opioid option that provides prescription-strength anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Most patients notice significant relief within 30–60 minutes of their Toradol injection. Because it is given intramuscularly, absorption is faster and more complete than oral ibuprofen or naproxen. Effects typically last 6–8 hours.
No. Toradol (ketorolac) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) — not a steroid. It reduces pain and inflammation by blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, similar to ibuprofen but much more potent when given by injection.
Yes. Toradol can be given as an add-on to any IV drip session at Solas. Many patients combine it with a Myers' Cocktail or hydration drip for comprehensive migraine or recovery support in a single visit.
