What is Chronic Pain

What Can You Do For Chronic Pain?

It is unlike any kind of temporary pain you may feel from a specific ailment like a headache or injury. If you are among one of the millions of Americans who have suffered with pain for several months or longer you may have a chronic condition.

What causes Chronic Pain and what can you do about it?

Some chronic pain can be traced to a specific injury.
Many cases of chronic pain are related to these conditions:
Low back pain
Arthritis/Osteoarthritis
Headache
Fibromyalgia – TOXIC (gut recovery) – IV Therapy/Nutrients
Yeast overgrowth
Nerve Damage
Shingles
Small fiber nerve changes that contribute to imbalances

Small fiber nerve changes in the body can be triggered by food, poor diet, poor sleep. We do testing to identify the root causes of the inflammation and develop a treatment plan.

Treating the underlying condition is important.

Getting to the root cause of your pain is what we do best. We evaluate, address and treat the physical causes, not just the symptoms of chronic pain and inflammation. Putting a focus on food sensitivities, diet and other potential triggers for pain, we are able to help patients get well and get to the next level in their wellness journey.

Some of the specific treatments we offer are:

LET Therapy
Lymph enhancement therapy is a modality of increasing lymph fluid. It uses low vibrational energy provided by radiofrequency waves which increases lymph flow and increases breaking down of protein rich fluid in the tissue space. It has been shown to benefit in lymphedema as well as conditions which involve chronic and acute inflammation and pain. Sessions usually run about 45 minutes.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is blood plasma with concentrated platelets. The concentrated platelets found in PRP contain large reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors that are vital to initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. These bioactive proteins initiate connective tissue healing, bone regeneration, and repair, promote development of new blood vessels, and stimulate the wound healing process. PRP injections are done under ultrasound guidance for precise localized delivery into injured ligaments, muscles, and joints. Patients see significant improvement in symptoms and this treatment can eliminate the need for more long term approaches.
This therapy is more effective than Cortisone shots in its ability to heal and strengthen tendons and ligaments for long term healing. Cortisone tends to provide a quick fix for temporary relief.
PRP has strengthened and thickened tissue up to 40%
Most people respond to a series of 3-6 sets of injections with each set spaced 4 weeks apart.

Sacroiliac joint
Iliolumbar ligaments
Facet joints
Interspinous ligaments
