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.

When it’s Not Just Aging

While it’s true that some health conditions are more common with age, there are some symptoms that should be discussed with your doctor. 1. Memory loss – this can sometimes be the result of medications, vitamin deficiencies, and some disorders. 2. Vision problems – getting treatment early for certain vision problems like glaucoma can prevent serious damage. 3. Tooth loss – getting regular dental care can help seniors avoid tooth loss. 4. Depression – certain health conditions and medications can make depression symptoms worse, but this problem can be treated professionally. 5. Weakness – a good exercise program can help prevent loss of muscle mass.

Feet Swelling With This Hot Weather?

Hot weather can cause feet to swell and impact blood pressure. As temperatures rise, blood vessels dilate, leading to fluid retention and foot swelling. Additionally, the body redirects blood flow to the skin for cooling, potentially lowering blood pressure. To address these issues, consider wearing compression socks. It’s important to differentiate between compression stockings and support stockings. While support stockings alleviate leg fatigue, compression stockings have a therapeutic effect. For personalized guidance on choosing the right compression stockings, consult an expert fitter at The Medicine Shoppe to combat swelling and maintain optimal blood pressure during hot weather.

Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy

Why is chiropractic care so important during pregnancy? At its most basic premise, chiropractic will help you and your nervous system adapt during this major shift. It will help you deal with all the structural, hormonal and emotional stressors. Structurally, chiropractic will help keep your joints moving appropriately so you can make room for your growing baby. When the pelvis and low back vertebrae are moving appropriately, your nerves can freely flow to all your muscles and organs, which may result in less pain and more nutrients to baby. Other benefits seen during chiropractic during pregnancy include headache relief, decrease in nausea and overall stress reduction.
