The Autumn Crocus has been known since the times of ancient Greece. In the fifth century, herbalists discovered it could be used to treat rheumatism, arthritis and gout. The useful active ingredient in the plant is called colchicine. Used by physicians for the last 150 years, Colchicine is still being used today.
Given by Intravenous injection, this amazing old drug is often helpful in alleviating spine pain. Although a difficult injection to give, Dr. Dorey has been administering these I.V. injections for nearly 25 years.

“Some of my most satisfied patients are those who’s pain responds to Colchicine.”

Lee R Dorey, M.D., P.A.
