Stress and Your Nervous System
Humans cannot withstand being in a long-term state of emergency. When we encounter a stressful “event”, we have an expected physiological response (heart rate increases, pupils dilate, blood shuttles to our extremities and away from our organs), and after a few hours, we should return to a more balanced state. Research shows blood flow increases in our “hindbrain” away from our “forebrain,” meaning we become more emotional vs. rational. Talk to your chiropractor about how stress manifests in your nervous system and what they can do to help. In the meantime, work on lowering stress levels any way you can!
Improving Musculo-Skeletal and Joint Pain with Prolozone and Hc-Prp
Prolozone is an effective treatment in pain management and tissue regeneration. It is a combination of prolotherapy, neurotherapy, and ozone therapy. It gives you pain relief while healing of injured joints, ligaments, and muscles. The treatment solution consists of small amounts of vitamins, painkillers, dextrose, anti-inflammatory substances (if needed). Small amounts are injected into affected areas followed by ozone injection, a mixture of ozone/oxygen gas at certain concentration. This stimulates cells crucial for tissue repair, such as joints, cartilage, muscles, and ligaments. Highly Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (hcPRP) utilizes the patient’s own blood cells platelets to enhance tissue repair. hcPRP is rich in growth factors and signaling molecules that stimulate healing of bone, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Combining hcPRP with Prolozone and intraarticular Low Level Laser Therapy with Red, Green, and Blue spectrum has considerably improved the way of healing.
The result of this combination is nothing short of remarkable.
