Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine is a growing field of interest because it gives real results that patients can see and feel! It is a proven approach to enhancing your overall health and will greatly eliminate most painful joint and soft tissue disorders.
Sounds impressive but confusing, right? Well in layman’s terms it means our bodies were designed to heal themselves! Makes sense … you cut yourself, it heals.
Imagine if pain medication was no longer needed. Imagine if the need for a surgical procedure was prolonged or no longer necessary. Through new technologies in regenerative medicine, there are now treatments available that may enhance your own body’s natural ability to heal.
Regenerative medicine is used for the management of pain, sports injuries, to expedite the healing from surgery, hair loss, sexual health and even to combat the signs of aging.
We know that choosing what type of regenerative medicine treatment best suited for you may be confusing. For that reason, we have created this unbiased booklet to help you make that decision.
Our goal is to provide you with the information needed when discussing regenerative medicine options with your physician.
It is important to make an educated investment in your health care so you may live your life the way it was meant to be lived.
From the young model to the aging retiree, from the elite athlete to the weekend warrior, clinicians continue to search for ways to control pain and accelerate the healing process. Regenerative medicine treatments have many profound benefits with, in most cases, superior outcomes.
Regenerative medicine may treat many conditions that could otherwise require risky treatment avenues. There are alternatives to that narcotic you took to get through the pain in your knees. There are other options to conquer your hair loss without undergoing painful surgery. Regenerative medicine treatments harness the power and versatility of the human body to regenerate damaged skin, accelerate healing, reactivate hair follicles, heal wounds and alleviate pain.
The regenerative medicine healing process replaces, creates and regenerates human cells and tissues to maintain- normal function, meaning these treatments kickstart the body’s ability to build diminished tissue, improve damaged tissue and restore function that has otherwise deteriorated. When injured or invaded by disease, our bodies have the innate response to heal and defend. Harnessing and enhancing the body’s own healing powers with the utilization of regenerative medicine is the new frontier of medicine, with results that may be miraculous.
Laser Light Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy and Body Sculpting
Peripheral neuropathy primarily affects the hands, legs and feet. Endocrine disorders, especially diabetes play a large role in peripheral neuropathy, as do obesity, infections, alcohol, cancer treatment, and vascular disorders.
Rather than mask the pain while the condition gets worse, our clinic uses a specific type of Laser Light Therapy, which is now FDA Approved for treatment for neuropathy. It is a more natural, non-invasive, painless and effective therapy. Instead of covering up the symptoms with harmful drugs that can lead to dangerous site effects, this cutting-edge approach focuses on healing the damaged nerve endings.
Laser Light Therapy will work to stimulate the body’s tissues at the cellular level. The red and near-infrared light energy will penetrate the skin, and the mitochondria within the body’s cells will absorb it. This light absorption energizes the mitochondria and speeds up the healing process of the damaged nerves and the tissues surrounding them. Laser Light Therapy also increases the oxygenation of injured tissue as well as increases cellular function.
Spot Fat Reduction
Our clinic has treated more than 100 satisfied patients for spot fat reduction for over 3 years. A cutting-edge new Light Therapy made in the United States is the first machine of its kind with a new microchip technology that is the latest and most advanced method for immediate fat loss. You no longer have to wait for results to show up months from your procedure; with the Laser Light Therapy you may see up to two or more inches of fat loss with the first treatment. An alternative to invasive liposuction, the Laser Light Therapy is in the forefront of the aesthetics industry for one simple reason—It Works!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
By using red and near-infrared light therapy, the treatment penetrates the layers of the dermis and is absorbed directly by the fat cells. It immediately shrinks the fat cells down in a rapid rate, and the excess fat is distributed into the bloodstream and metabolized by the body’s natural detox system and eliminated as waste.
Sexual Health
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is deeply related to vascular health, many men that begin to experience ED have little idea that they need to treat the arteriosclerosis in the penis as well as in their body. Most standard medical practitioners will start patients on the “little blue pill,” but this only masks the symptoms of ED and it definitely doesn’t treat the cause. Almost everyone will experience a decline in sexual functioning, but with the advent of Regenerative medicine, Erectile Dysfunction is no longer an inevitable part of aging.
With Shockwave Therapy, there are no side effects from the treatment. More importantly, it is completely painless, and non-invasive as well. Patients can resume their normal activities, including sexual activity following each treatment session. Shockwave Therapy offers regenerative treatment and on average, patients will start noticing results after the third or fourth treatment.
How Shockwave works. The Shockwave procedure breaks up plaque formation in blood vessels and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the penis. This process, called neurogenesis, increases blood flow to the penis, improves sexual function and enhances sensitivity in the penis. In addition, the procedure activates the growth of new nerve tissue in the penis. Effects from the treatment have been scientifically proven to last at least 1-3 years, although this can vary dependent of individual health and lifestyle habits.
Shockwave Therapy can also relieve chronic pain and inflammation for men and women of all ages, suffering with joint and soft tissue pain in all areas of the body.
Chiropractic Treatment
The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care. Used safely on patients of all ages since the late 1960s, it brings relief for a variety of health concerns.
Because of its effectiveness and gentle nature, the Activator Method has grown to become the world’s most widely used instrument adjusting technique.
How does the Activator Method work?
Restoring spinal balance safely and successfully has been the driving force behind the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique.
Your Doctor uses specific protocols to detect spinal joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, identify issues with body mechanics and test neurological reflexes. By evaluating the results, an Activator doctor can initiate the process of restoring spinal balance in the patient.
The unique hand-held Activator instruments have been studied extensively with results published in hundreds of peer-reviewed research papers, and was designed to give patients a specific and gentle adjustment.
Is the Activator Method right for you?
Patients of all ages can enjoy the benef,ts of an Activator adjustment. The technique is especially helpful for children who sometimes have trouble lying still. The Activator adjustment is so quick and comfortable, children often look forward to their next visit!
The Activator Method is an especially good choice for older patients, or those with arthritis, osteoporosis or other boneweakening conditions. The low-force thrust of the Activator Adjusting Instrument, along with the doctor’s ability to pinpoint the exact location of the problem can relieve a patient’s pain without added discomfort.
Make the Activator Method part of your healthy lifestyle!
Our practice is pleased to bring you the benefits of the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique.
Though some believe chiropractic care is intended only to relieve back and neck pain, it actually does much more. A wide variety of health problems stem from spinal imbalance and dysfunction. Everyday living, stress and old injuries can cause vertebrae to lose their proper position or motion, irritating your nervous system, causing pain and nerve interference throughout the body.
By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care aids the body in healing itself. We believe the Activator Method’s safe, effective and gentle low-force adjustments are the very best way to accomplish this goal.
