About This Treatment

What Is a Toradol Injection?

Toradol (ketorolac) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection for fast, powerful pain relief. Unlike narcotic pain medications, Toradol is non-addictive and works by reducing the inflammation responsible for pain.

Toradol injections are commonly used for acute pain episodes — migraines, muscle injuries, post-procedure discomfort, and inflammatory flare-ups — where fast-acting relief is needed without the risks or side effects of opioid medications.

Note: Toradol injections are for short-term acute pain management. A brief medical consultation is required to confirm appropriateness and screen for contraindications.
