But when necessary, the inclusion of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy as recommended by your physician might be the boost you need for a happier and healthier life.\r\n<h3><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1129\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/health-insurance.jpg\" alt=\"Health Insurance\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />How to Achieve Optimal Aging</h3>\r\nAs people age, they may encounter symptoms that make them feel less than optimal. Even those that follow healthy eating programs. It is possible to stop much of the undesirable aspects and symptoms  associated with aging. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a science which has shown to improve the quality of your life.\r\n<h4><em>Your Physician Will Take A Detailed History and Perform Lab Testing</em></h4>\r\nPhysicians who prescribe these hormones will take a detailed history of the symptoms you experience. Following this, a laboratory evaluation of your hormone levels will be done. With these results, a personalized hormone supplementation program can be prescribed for you.\r\n\r\nAfter initiating the therapy, you will be monitored and the hormone replacements will be balanced for optimal benefits. Many patients experience how natural hormone supplementation can help with healthy aging.\r\n<h3>Bio-Identical Hormones Are Not the Same As Synthetic Hormones</h3>\r\nBio-identical hormones are prescribed, but they are natural substances that function as messengers to stimulate cells to heal, reproduce, and rejuvenate. Disease and symptoms of aging occur when hormone levels decline.\r\n\r\nNatural, bio-identical hormones are preferred over synthetic hormones, so you can achieve all of the benefits of hormone replacement without the risks and side effects associated with synthetic hormones.\r\n<h3>Common Bio-Identical Hormones To Boost A Happier and Healthier Lifestyle</h3>\r\n<strong>DHEA</strong>\r\nBy age 40, DHEA has declined markedly. Replacement results in immune enhancement, therefore making DHEA extremely important in cancer and infection prevention. DHEA is a precursor to the sex hormones and is therefore an important building block in the production of these hormones. DHEA helps the breakdown of fats and cholesterol, while reducing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.\r\n\r\n<strong>ESTROGEN</strong>\r\nReplacement with natural estrogen protects against heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer\'s disease, and osteoporosis in women. Estrogen prevents symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, temperature deregulation, mood swings, urogenital atrophy, decreased libido, and depression. Estrogen lowers LDL cholesterol and raises HDL (the good cholesterol).\r\n\r\n<strong>PROGESTERONE</strong>\r\nReplacement with natural progesterone protects against uterine and breast cancer , and also osteoporosis. Progesterone reduces symptoms of menopause. Progesterone occurs naturally with estrogen and should be prescribed concurrently to balance estrogen.\r\n\r\n<strong>MELATONIN</strong>\r\nThis hormone is produced by the pineal gland and declines significantly by age 40. Melatonin controls circadium rhythm and sleep cycles. It induces sleep, improves quality of sleep, and increases REM sleep and deep stage IV sleep. During this deep stage of sleep, the immune system is stimulated. It has anti-cancer effects and modulates immune function by activating the cytokine system (lymphocytic function).\r\n\r\n<strong>TESTOSTERONE</strong>\r\nThis hormone is necessary in both men and women and declines steadily after age 30. Testosterone is responsible for sustaining libido, muscle mass, and immunity. It protects against disease in men plus the degeneration of muscle, bone, tendon and joints. It is a great mood enhancer and imparts a sense of well being in aging men and women.\r\n\r\n<strong>THYROID</strong>\r\nThis metabolic hormone decreases steadily with age. Lack of thyroid hormone results in cold intolerance, fatigue, lassitude, weight gain, increased cholesterol, thin and dry skin, hair loss, thin and brittle nails. Replenishment results in reversal of these symptoms plus increased energy and metabolism.\r\n\r\n<strong>PREGNENOLONE</strong>\r\nDecline of this hormone occurs after age 30. This hormone aids in cellular repair of the central nervous system and is the most potent memory enhancer of all the hormones.\r\n\r\nIf you are not feeling optimal even though you are exercising and eating right, ask your doctor about bio-identical hormone replacement.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Your best health insurance','','inherit','closed','closed','','1486-revision-v1','','','2021-12-15 02:37:00','2021-12-15 02:37:00','',1486,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=4916',0,'revision','',0),(4917,9,'2021-12-15 02:37:47','2021-12-15 02:37:47','<h2>Bio-Identical Hormones for A Happier &amp; Healthier Life</h2>\r\nA balanced program of exercise and the consumption of whole foods takes you far down the road of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Fields, MD, DC, The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></h4>\r\nPeter A. Fields, MD, DC, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/the-athletic-doc/about-the-athletic-doc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></a>, is a world-renowned expert in the field of Regenerative Orthopedics (non-surgical joint and spine repair). <strong>He is one of a handful of physicians in the nation that is both a Medical Physician and a Chiropractor.</strong> This combination of degrees gives Dr. Fields a broad area of knowledge and expertise that benefits his patients.\r\n<h4>Director of OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup></h4>\r\nDr. Fields is the Director of <a href=\"https://orthoregen.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup></a> in Santa Monica, CA. which is one of the largest practices in the world dedicated solely to Regenerative Orthopedics. Athletes and non-athletes alike come from around the US and the world to receive treatment, because Dr. Fields helps them to avoid unnecessary joint surgeries. He is a leading expert in using <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stem Cell Therapy</a> to help people avoid joint replacement.\r\n<h4>Regenerative Medicine Expert</h4>\r\nDr. Fields has appeared on national TV as a Regenerative Medicine Expert as well as several TV and radio stations in the Los Angeles area. Plus, he writes a column on Orthopedic/Sports Medicine for a <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/category/articles/magazine-column/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national magazine</a> as well as lecturing at various conferences around the world on these techniques.\r\n<h4>Hackett-Hemwall Foundation Instructor</h4>\r\nIn addition, Dr. Fields is a Clinical Instructor with the <a href=\"https://hhpfoundation.org/\">Hackett-Hemwall Foundation</a>, the largest teaching organization for Prolotherapy. And Dr. Fields has volunteered his time for two weeks nine different times on their medical trips to Honduras.

Also, Dr. Fields was the director of one of only three clinics in Honduras.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Doctor</h4>\r\nDr. Fields is a leading expert in the field of Regenerative Orthopedics, which includes Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma, and Prolotherapy. All of these treatments are natural non-surgical methods of assisting the body to heal weakened or injured joints, tendons and ligaments. With Regenerative Orthopedics, the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the ligaments and tendons grow stronger and vibrant, the motion is restored and the pain is alleviated.\r\n<h4>The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></h4>\r\nDr. Fields is a very active and competitive triathlete, having completed eleven full <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/the-athletic-doc/race-report-9th-ironman/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ironman Triathlons</a> as well as numerous (half) Ironman Triathlons and many other triathlons. The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup> has had his back and shoulder treated by these techniques and avoided surgery. In other words, this doc walks his talk!\r\n<div id=\"centrevideo\" class=\"text-center\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"JyzbZT3aZ9o\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Interview-with-Dr.-Fields.jpg\" alt=\"Interview with Dr. Fields about Prolotherapy and PRP\"]\r\n<strong>Interview with Dr. Fields about Prolotherapy and PRP</strong></div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Bio: Dr. Fields','','inherit','closed','closed','','216-revision-v1','','','2022-01-06 00:56:43','2022-01-06 00:56:43','',216,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=4922',0,'revision','',0),(4923,9,'2022-01-06 01:08:54','2022-01-06 01:08:54','<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At OrthoRegen, we treat many joint</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">injuries with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/repairing-sports-injuries-with-regenerative-orthopedics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong></a>. These therapies, include </span><b>Prolotherapy, PRP, and Stem Cell Therapy, and are effective for pretty </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much any joint of your body where there is a musculoskeletal injury. When you contact us, we’ll be happy to give a recommendation as to whether you are a good candidate for this non-surgical option. From there, we’ll figure out the right kind of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment option for your exact problem, to effectively repair your joint, and get you back quickly to the activities you love: </span><b>Pain-free</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span>\n<h2><b>Better than Surgery</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of our patients come to us when they’ve been told by someone else that it’s time to get surgery to fix their problem. Maybe they have lasting shoulder pain, or there’s a pain in one or both of their knees that just won’t go away. However, that doesn’t mean that surgery has to be the answer. In fact, <strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong> is almost invariably a better option. Not only can these treatments be more beneficial, but they also have much less down-time and recovery time.</span>\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2567 size-full\" title=\"Regenerative Orthopedic\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Regenerative-Orthopedic..jpg\" alt=\"Regenerative Orthopedic.\" width=\"800\" height=\"648\" />\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you need surgery, you’re probably already in pain. After the surgery, you’re likely to be in plenty of pain, and then you’ll have to recover, possibly go through physical therapy, and so much more. The prolonged recovery time can cause you to be less effective at your job, or possibly even make you take time off. With <strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong>, you won’t need to take all that time off for recovery. Over the course of just a few Regenerative Orthopedic treatments, most people note improvement, and before you know it, you’ll be returning to the things in life you enjoy.</span>\n<h3><b>PRP </b></h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The “PRP” stands for “<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet-rich_plasma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">platelet-rich plasma</a>,” and is one form of <strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong>. Like so many of our other treatments, this really just uses what’s already in your body to treat you. In the case of PRP, we utilize your own blood to help your body recover. See, these platelets in your blood contain “growth factors,” which means that they can help get soft tissue repairing as it should. For many of our patients, that’s exactly what they need to repair the damaged soft tissue areas of their bodies.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blood is centrifuged in a special way to cause the plasma to be rich in platelets or have a high concentration of platelets. So, the PRP we inject into the injured area is practically overflowing with growth factors. Then, this injured area of your body that’s been starving for tissue growth gets a giant helping of it. The more platelets in the damaged area, the faster and more completely your tissues will heal.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a treatment that’s been proven to be effective in joints all over the body. Many of our patients with hip labrum problems or knee meniscus injuries have responded wonderfully to this form of treatment, once again able to do the activities and sports they love. When joints are injured, it’s amazing how difficult simple motions are. You will be relieved to be able to walk, sit, or just use your knees and hips again without pain. </span>\n<h3><b>Dextrose Prolotherapy</b></h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many, this is known as the “original prolotherapy.” When Prolotherapy began in the ’30s, this was the form it took.  Think of your body as a machine. In order for the body to heal the parts of the body that need healing, it sometimes needs a boost. Especially, difficult to heal areas like ligaments and tendons that naturally just do not have a great flow of blood. Prolotherapy is a <strong>Regenerative Orthopedic</strong> therapy that can cause the body to kick into high gear and boost the healing cascade in order to stimulate blood flow and repair the soft tissue parts of your body that have been injured.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this form of Prolotherapy, we inject the soft tissue parts of the joint that have been injured. Then, the blood and healing factors rush to heal the areas that have been damaged. We cause a very temporary and low-grade inflammation which makes your body spring into action. It’s important to note that this is a normal part of the healing process. Utilizing a local anesthetic, we make sure that you’re always comfortable during the treatment process.</span>\n<h3><b>Stem Cell Therapy</b></h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases of severe degeneration or in certain joint injuries, we may recommend Stem Cell Therapy. We have great success with Stem Cell Therapy because we use the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy utilizing Dextrose Prolotherapy, PRP, and stem cells from both fat and bone marrow. Just because someone has told you that you need surgery, remember that there are other options available. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These various <strong>Regenerative Orthopedic</strong> options are very effective at returning you to a vibrant and pain-free life again.

Plus, knee function is vital to carry out everyday activities.\r\n<h3>More About the Knee</h3>\r\nThe knee joint is in the middle of the leg and connects upwards to the femur (thigh bone) and downwards to the tibia (shin bone). The patella or kneecap sits to the front of these bones. The femur and tibia are connected by the four main ligaments at the knee, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL, found deep within the knee joint) and the Medial (MCL) and Lateral (LCL) Collateral Ligaments (on either side of the joint).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nThere are also two forms of cartilage in the knee, including articular cartilage, which protects the ends of both bones and the back of the patella allowing for smooth movement. The meniscus is another type of cartilage, which consists of two semicircular discs providing cushioning and support for the bones. Our knees are extremely vulnerable to injury in one or a combination of these elements. In the case of a knee injury, we recommend our <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Regenerative Orthopedic</a> knee treatments to strengthen and repair damaged tissue, ligaments, and tendons, to get you back quickly to the activities you love.\r\n<h4>How Regenerative Orthopedics Works to Treat the Knee</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics are innovative therapies that treat the knee by stimulating the immune system to repair damaged tissue. Prolotherapy is one type of regenerative treatment that is effective for knee injuries. \"Prolo\" comes from the word proliferate, and Prolotherapy then describes the therapy which boosts the proliferation of fibroblastic cells that stimulate the growth of the ligaments and tendons. The proliferation of the fibroblasts encourages new, strong, tissue to be formed. Why is this important? Because this new tissue is exactly what is needed to repair ligament, tendon, and meniscus injuries.\r\n\r\nIn some cases of knee injury, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) may be recommended. The blood platelets in Platelet Rich Plasma contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Certain injuries will require more potent means for healing and regeneration. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that have the potential to greatly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally.\r\n\r\nThe use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair, and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and the menisci of the knee joint.\r\n\r\nReceive treatment for your knee injuries with comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedics at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nPeter A.

 Because this process is precisely what is needed to repair ligament, tendon, and meniscus injuries.\r\n\r\nThe clinician may recommend platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in some knee injury cases.  The blood platelets in Platelet Rich Plasma contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site.  Specific injuries will require more potent means for healing and regeneration.  And when necessary, these concentrated platelets work great because they contain large reservoirs of growth factors.  How do growth factors help?  They have the potential to significantly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally.\r\n<h3>Stem Cell Therapy</h3>\r\nStem Cell Treatments for joints are an excellent alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery.  At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we utilize the Gold Standard in <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell Treatments</a>.  The treatment is an effective non-surgical alternative that has a great chance of helping you to <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em>.\r\n\r\nThese Regenerative Orthopedic treatments are exciting and new cutting-edge therapies that can stimulate knee repair by regenerating weakened, torn, or damaged ligaments, tendons, and the menisci of the knee joint.\r\n\r\nDon\'t wait!  Contact us soon, so you can avoid surgery too, by receiving non-surgical treatment for your knee injuries with comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedics at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics for Your Knee Injuries?</h4>\r\nPeter A.

If one does 12 Ironman races and at least one in each year, you can get a special lottery entry into the world championships in Kona, Hawaii. My count now still stood at 9. If I didn’t do one this year my total would go back to zero. I looked at my options and the best one was <strong>Ironman Maryland</strong> at the end of September. Since it was less than two months away, I just had to maintain my fitness level with moderate workouts.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">Getting There:</strong></h3>\r\nThe flight to Maryland was a lot easier than it was to Hamburg. It was in Cambridge, Maryland, which is the outer banks of Maryland. Cross-country flight to Philadelphia and a short flight to a small airport near Cambridge. After checking in at the hotel,  I looked over the course and got ready for race day. The swim took place in a river that fed from the ocean. The day of the race the weather was very good.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">Ironman Maryland-The Swim 2.4 miles:</strong></h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-363\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/swim-400.jpg\" alt=\"Swim 400\" width=\"242\" height=\"410\" />Ironman Maryland is notorious for rainy weather but race day was clear and without clouds. My swim went well. The water was wetsuit legal which meant the water was below 76.2 degrees. At 74 degrees, it was warm but I left my wetsuit on as did most of the other athletes. Because I’m a strong swimmer, it’s easy for me to overheat in a wetsuit. I had learned in practice, just two days before, to pull the zipper down on the back of my wetsuit to let a little bit of water in to cool me down.\r\n\r\nPlus, twice during the race I lifted the front of my wetsuit off my chest and let water in. This was enough to cool me down. All in all, I felt very good in the swim. As I exited the water after 2.4 miles, I was aware of the problems I had on the bike so was very cautious and prepared with my nutrition intake.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">The Bike 112 miles:</strong></h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignright  wp-image-364\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/bike2-600.jpg\" alt=\"Bike2 600\" width=\"411\" height=\"341\" />There was some wind on the bike which picked up after 40 miles. But somehow, I felt strong. I was biking faster than I had ever biked before. Halfway through I was under 3 hours. My normal time for 56 miles is 3:10 or more.\r\n\r\nI kept pushing ahead without exerting myself too much to save myself for the run.\r\nAnd I did not have any stomach problems!\r\n\r\nI got off the bike at 6 hours and 6 minutes which was 24 minutes faster than I had ever done a bike ride in an Ironman. I was exceptionally pleased. I even commented to the people in the transition why were there so many transition bags in the area and they all said those people haven’t finished. This surprised even me as I am usually a lot slower and there are usually less bags there.  Everything was going as planned.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">The Run 26.2 miles:</strong></h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-365\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/run1-400.jpg\" alt=\"Run1 400\" width=\"236\" height=\"425\" />As I exited the transition area to start my marathon run, I felt very good and strong. The first 5 or 6 miles went well. Unfortunately, then I started to have some foot problems. Ironman races are all about crisis control. So, I knew not to lose my cool and just keep going.\r\n\r\n<strong>Foot problems turned out to be my Achilles heel for this race.</strong>\r\n\r\nSo, I ran and walked for a while. Around mile 13 I had some stomach problems which made me sit down for a bit, but I battled through that.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, foot problems persisted, which slowed me down and even made me fast walk at least 8 of the last 12 miles. But either way, after what had happened in Hamburg, I was determined not to let anything stop me from completing the race. I just stayed focused even as the sun went down and I started to get cold since I was not running as much.\r\n\r\nOne of the houses I passed by had a few people outside cheering, so I asked if they had an extra t-shirt. One guy there went inside and brought back his volunteer shirt (he had volunteered earlier in the race) and just told me to turn it inside out, so people did not think I was a volunteer. I thanked him profusely. This helped a lot and kept me going without getting cold.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-366\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/finish-line-C-400.jpg\" alt=\"Finish Line C 400\" width=\"300\" height=\"338\" />So, as I turned the last corner and headed to last 500 yards I knew I had made it. Even with my foot problems and some stomach problems I was able to keep my head in the game and not lose concentration. <strong>There is a saying that in an Ironman the run is 90% mental and the rest is in your head! Hahaha.</strong>\r\n\r\nAnd as I entered the finish chute and crossed the finish line, for the tenth time I heard the announcer say:\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Peter Fields, “You are an Ironman!”</strong>\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nAll my aches and pains just faded away.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">Ironman Maryland Postscript:</strong></h3>\r\nAs with every race, my parents’ spirit was with me the whole way. What they went through to survive the fascism of World War II in their countries and resettle in this country was nothing compared to what I had to do for this one day. The fortitude and determination that they gave me kept me going the whole way. I am eternally grateful to have had them as my parents.\r\n\r\nA very dear friend of mine is going through a severe illness right now. I do not wish to put his name out in a mass email to allow him some privacy. I wrote his initials on my forearms so that I could think of him when racing. It’s a tough time he’s going through. Never letting anything stand in his way. Smiling every day and keeping a positive attitude no matter how he is feeling.  He is the true Ironman. When things got bad during my run I looked at my forearms and thought of him with his will and perseverance no matter how bad things get. This helped me get through my day. I dedicated this race in his honor.\r\n\r\nI want to again thank everybody who thought of me during the race or who offered me congratulations on\r\nfinishing my 10th Ironman.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, everyone who took the time to read this.\r\n\r\n<strong>Peter A.

The lake where we swam in, Lake Sonoma, is 40 miles from downtown. This is very unusual when it is usually right at the start or within a few miles of the transition area.  So we had to report for buses leaving at 4 a.m. from the downtown area. Then I had to drive down to the downtown area, park the car and walk over to where the buses were.\n\nFortunately, my bike and other gear were already at the lake.  After a one-hour bus ride to the lake, I settled in by checking my bike, pumping the tires, filling the water bottles, and loading the nutrition on the bike.  Then it was time to head down to the lakefront. The day before, the water had been very warm, but the morning of the race they determined that it was still wetsuit legal (below 76 degrees). Since everyone else was wearing it, I decided to wear one even though I get very warm in it.\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE SWIM: 2.4 Miles</strong></h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"264\"]<img class=\" wp-image-354\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Swim.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Swim\" width=\"264\" height=\"396\" /> <strong>Swim Finish with his parents\' initials on my forearms</strong>[/caption]\n\nAs we lined up to start to get in the water there were a few people without wetsuits. At that point, I thought maybe I should not have worn my wetsuit. Swimming is my best sport and the wetsuit does get restrictive in my arm swing, but I decided to keep it on anyway. As I entered the water I realized that the water was very warm. Since it was crowded, I stayed towards the outside of the swimmers because the fast swimmer group I was in can get very aggressive.\n\nHalfway through the first loop, I realized I was getting too warm. After the first lap, I had the opportunity to run out onto the landing, take it off, and get back into the water. I lost a little time doing this but it was well worth it. The second lap went a lot better as I was not overheating.\n\nAfter the swim there is a quarter-mile very steep hill to get to your bicycle. They told people to not leave shoes or other footgear down at the bottom. So most of us did not. But some people left shoes halfway up the hill. This was a violation of the rules but no one said anything. They did have some artificial grass-type material down so that the road up was not too tough. But the hill is quite steep and many people, including myself, walked or fast-walked most of the way so as not to exhaust ourselves for the bike ride. Quickly into the transition area, I grabbed my gear, changed, and got onto my bike.\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE BIKE: 112 Miles</strong></h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_353\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"299\"]<img class=\" wp-image-353\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Bike-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Bike 3\" width=\"299\" height=\"538\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 112-mile bike ride</strong>[/caption]\n\nThe bike had 4,000 feet of climbing. I prepared for this so overall it was not too bad. Lots of wineries; at least 30 or more. It was not as scenic as other Ironman races I have done because we did ride along a highway several times but pleasant when going by wineries.\n\nUnfortunately, the roads were not in great shape. There are a lot of uneven areas as well as small little potholes. This was even more difficult as it was extremely sunny. When you would go through an area that was shaded you could not see the road since you were wearing dark sunglasses. This made for an uncomfortable ride.\n\nRight before we got to town, at about the 65-mile mark, I got a flat. I did not notice it at first but as my speed dropped and I was pushing even harder, I had to get off the bike and check. Sure enough, the tire was flat. And it was the back tire, which takes more to change. But to my surprise, as I dismounted, one of the repair vehicles that circles the bike course (there were three or four of them) pulled up right behind me. What luck! The mechanic grabbed his pump and had my tire changed, pumped up, and ready to go in less than two minutes. Faster than I could have ever have done it. And without greasy hands too!\n\nSo back on the bike, I finally got to the town where we then had to ride two 17-mile loops. This was invigorating as the crowd was there. Unfortunately, on these loops, the road got even worse. There were areas that were so bumpy one of the following riders said he thought he lost a crown. We all laughed. Although they predicted it to be in the 90s, it only went to about 86 or 87 degrees. But it was very sunny with no wind and with minimal shade, so it did get warm. All in all, I had a good bike ride.\n\nSo, as we entered the town on the last loop, the crowds were cheering. Then it was into T2 tent and change into running shoes, visor, down some nutrition and out for the 26.2-mile marathon run.\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE RUN: 26.2 Miles</strong></h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_352\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"255\"]<img class=\" wp-image-352\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Run-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Run 2\" width=\"255\" height=\"459\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields during the 26.2-mile run</strong>[/caption]\n\nAs we left the change tent, there were lots of people yelling and screaming encouragement. This was a good thing. It was now very sunny and very warm outside. Most of the run was done along a dry riverbed. Then the crowds dwindled. There was some shade but not everywhere, so the sun took its toll, and I had some difficulties with my foot. Fortunately, I could adjust my running gait and keep going.\n\nThe first 8.8 miles (the first loop) was pretty good. On the second, the foot pain got stronger and I had to walk/run quite a bit. But, as always, I just kept moving forward. There were a lot of runners out there for support. And of course, I was supporting the others that were not doing well. Being with the other athletes gave me tremendous moral support and the will to not give up. The second loop was tough as it took place during the 11th and 13th hours of racing, so keeping one\'s mind occupied is imperative. Dealing with my foot pain plus the physical and mental exhaustion that one experiences in an Ironman are always a challenge. As I began the third loop, I knew that if I made it to the turnaround at 4.4 miles, I was home free. As I made the final turn to head back towards town I knew that no matter how tough things got I was going to make it.\n<h3>Crossing the Finish Line</h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_351\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"289\"]<img class=\" wp-image-351\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Finishline-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Finishline 3\" width=\"289\" height=\"520\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields crossing the finish line</strong>[/caption]\n\nI encouraged those that I passed as well as the ones that were only on their second loop. As I exited the riverbed area up onto the streets, I thought I only had less than a quarter-mile to go, when in fact it was really over half a mile.\n\nJust then a guy ran up to me and said, “Hey Peter you\'re doing great”. I did not recognize him but I had my name on my running bib and thought he just saw that. He ran alongside me and told me that his girlfriend was not far behind. He told me her name and that did not ring a bell either.\n\nIt really didn’t matter as he was encouraging me, which was needed at that time. He finally turned around to go back to meet her. As I ran off, the energy that he had given me would carry me the rest of the way. As I came down the final stretch I knew I was going to finish my 9th Ironman Triathlon. It was tough but Ironman is never easy. The exhilaration and enthusiasm of the crowd, and hearing the announcer say, <strong>\"<em>Peter Fields, you are an Ironman!”</em>,</strong> never gets old. Never.\n\nAs I came through the shoot and they took my pictures, I looked over and there was the young guy who I had seen as I exited the riverbed.  As I approached him, I recognized him as the son of one of my best friends.  We both laughed and embraced and I told him how appreciative I was for his encouragement.\n\n<strong class=\"subhead\">POSTSCRIPT</strong>\n\nThese races are not only a physical challenge but also a mental challenge. With the difficulties with the wetsuit, the warm water, the uneven roads, the heat, the flat tire, and my foot problems on the run, this was not an easy race. But again, I persevered.\n\nI always keep a remembrance of my parents with me at all times in my race jersey pocket. When things would get bad, I would reach back and touch it and say. \"thanks mom and dad for being with me.\" This kept me going through any difficulties I was having. With all their struggles in their lives (fleeing near-certain death in fascist Germany, emigrating with almost nothing, meeting each other in the US and building a new life and more), they just kept moving forward and never looked back.\n\nThey taught me over and over again, that no matter how tough things get in life, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. They supported me no matter what I did as long as I had my heart and mind in it. On this day, and every day of my life, I knew they were with me all the way.\n\nAs I said after they passed, “You are not dead, dead or only those that one forgets”. I will never forget them as they never forgot me. This, and all of my races, are dedicated in their honor.

The lake where we swam in, Lake Sonoma, is 40 miles from downtown. This is very unusual when it is usually right at the start or within a few miles of the transition area.  So we had to report for buses leaving at 4 a.m. from the downtown area. Then I had to drive down to the downtown area, park the car and walk over to where the buses were.\r\n\r\nFortunately, my bike and other gear were already at the lake.  After a one-hour bus ride to the lake, I settled in by checking my bike, pumping the tires, filling the water bottles, and loading the nutrition on the bike.  Then it was time to head down to the lakefront. The day before, the water had been very warm, but the morning of the race they determined that it was still wetsuit legal (below 76 degrees). Since everyone else was wearing it, I decided to wear one even though I get very warm in it.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE SWIM: 2.4 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"264\"]<img class=\" wp-image-354\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Swim.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Swim\" width=\"264\" height=\"396\" /> <strong>Swim Finish with his parents\' initials on my forearms</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAs we lined up to start to get in the water there were a few people without wetsuits. At that point, I thought maybe I should not have worn my wetsuit. Swimming is my best sport and the wetsuit does get restrictive in my arm swing, but I decided to keep it on anyway. As I entered the water I realized that the water was very warm. Since it was crowded, I stayed towards the outside of the swimmers because the fast swimmer group I was in can get very aggressive.\r\n\r\nHalfway through the first loop, I realized I was getting too warm. After the first lap, I had the opportunity to run out onto the landing, take it off, and get back into the water. I lost a little time doing this but it was well worth it. The second lap went a lot better as I was not overheating.\r\n\r\nAfter the swim there is a quarter-mile very steep hill to get to your bicycle. They told people to not leave shoes or other footgear down at the bottom. So most of us did not. But some people left shoes halfway up the hill. This was a violation of the rules but no one said anything. They did have some artificial grass-type material down so that the road up was not too tough. But the hill is quite steep and many people, including myself, walked or fast-walked most of the way so as not to exhaust ourselves for the bike ride. Quickly into the transition area, I grabbed my gear, changed, and got onto my bike.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE BIKE: 112 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_353\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"299\"]<img class=\" wp-image-353\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Bike-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Bike 3\" width=\"299\" height=\"538\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 112-mile bike ride</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe bike had 4,000 feet of climbing. I prepared for this so overall it was not too bad. Lots of wineries; at least 30 or more. It was not as scenic as other Ironman races I have done because we did ride along a highway several times but pleasant when going by wineries.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the roads were not in great shape. There are a lot of uneven areas as well as small little potholes. This was even more difficult as it was extremely sunny. When you would go through an area that was shaded you could not see the road since you were wearing dark sunglasses. This made for an uncomfortable ride.\r\n\r\nRight before we got to town, at about the 65-mile mark, I got a flat. I did not notice it at first but as my speed dropped and I was pushing even harder, I had to get off the bike and check. Sure enough, the tire was flat. And it was the back tire, which takes more to change. But to my surprise, as I dismounted, one of the repair vehicles that circles the bike course (there were three or four of them) pulled up right behind me. What luck! The mechanic grabbed his pump and had my tire changed, pumped up, and ready to go in less than two minutes. Faster than I could have ever have done it. And without greasy hands too!\r\n\r\nSo back on the bike, I finally got to the town where we then had to ride two 17-mile loops. This was invigorating as the crowd was there. Unfortunately, on these loops, the road got even worse. There were areas that were so bumpy one of the following riders said he thought he lost a crown. We all laughed. Although they predicted it to be in the 90s, it only went to about 86 or 87 degrees. But it was very sunny with no wind and with minimal shade, so it did get warm. All in all, I had a good bike ride.\r\n\r\nSo, as we entered the town on the last loop, the crowds were cheering. Then it was into T2 tent and change into running shoes, visor, down some nutrition and out for the 26.2-mile marathon run.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE RUN: 26.2 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_352\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"255\"]<img class=\" wp-image-352\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Run-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Run 2\" width=\"255\" height=\"459\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields during the 26.2-mile run</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAs we left the change tent, there were lots of people yelling and screaming encouragement. This was a good thing. It was now very sunny and very warm outside. Most of the run was done along a dry riverbed. Then the crowds dwindled. There was some shade but not everywhere, so the sun took its toll, and I had some difficulties with my foot. Fortunately, I could adjust my running gait and keep going.\r\n\r\nThe first 8.8 miles (the first loop) was pretty good. On the second, the foot pain got stronger and I had to walk/run quite a bit. But, as always, I just kept moving forward. There were a lot of runners out there for support. And of course, I was supporting the others that were not doing well. Being with the other athletes gave me tremendous moral support and the will to not give up.\r\n\r\nThe second loop was tough as it took place during the 11th and 13th hours of racing, so keeping one\'s mind occupied is imperative. Dealing with my foot pain plus the physical and mental exhaustion that one experiences in an Ironman are always a challenge. As I began the third loop, I knew that if I made it to the turnaround at 4.4 miles, I was home free. As I made the final turn to head back towards town I knew that no matter how tough things got I was going to make it.\r\n<h3>Crossing the Finish Line</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_351\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"289\"]<img class=\" wp-image-351\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Finishline-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Finishline 3\" width=\"289\" height=\"520\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields crossing the finish line</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nI encouraged those that I passed as well as the ones that were only on their second loop. As I exited the riverbed area up onto the streets, I thought I only had less than a quarter-mile to go, when in fact it was really over half a mile.\r\n\r\nJust then a guy ran up to me and said, “Hey Peter you\'re doing great”. I did not recognize him but I had my name on my running bib and thought he just saw that. He ran alongside me and told me that his girlfriend was not far behind. He told me her name and that did not ring a bell either.\r\n\r\nIt really didn’t matter as he was encouraging me, which was needed at that time. He finally turned around to go back to meet her. As I ran off, the energy that he had given me would carry me the rest of the way. As I came down the final stretch I knew I was going to finish my 9th Ironman Triathlon. It was tough but Ironman is never easy. The exhilaration and enthusiasm of the crowd, and hearing the announcer say, <strong>\"<em>Peter Fields, you are an Ironman!”</em>,</strong> never gets old. Never.\r\n\r\nAs I came through the shoot and they took my pictures, I looked over and there was the young guy who I had seen as I exited the riverbed.  As I approached him, I recognized him as the son of one of my best friends.  We both laughed and embraced and I told him how appreciative I was for his encouragement.\r\n\r\n<strong class=\"subhead\">POSTSCRIPT</strong>\r\n\r\nThese races are not only a physical challenge but also a mental challenge. With the difficulties with the wetsuit, the warm water, the uneven roads, the heat, the flat tire, and my foot problems on the run, this was not an easy race. But again, I persevered.\r\n\r\nI always keep a remembrance of my parents with me at all times in my race jersey pocket. When things would get bad, I would reach back and touch it and say. \"thanks mom and dad for being with me.\" This kept me going through any difficulties I was having. With all their struggles in their lives (fleeing near-certain death in fascist Germany, emigrating with almost nothing, meeting each other in the US and building a new life and more), they just kept moving forward and never looked back.\r\n\r\nThey taught me over and over again, that no matter how tough things get in life, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. They supported me no matter what I did as long as I had my heart and mind in it. On this day, and every day of my life, I knew they were with me all the way.\r\n\r\nAs I said after they passed, “You are not dead, dead or only those that one forgets”. I will never forget them as they never forgot me. This, and all of my races, are dedicated in their honor. And I always start each race with their initials marked on my forearms.\r\n\r\nI want to thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting me, whether online, thinking about me, or by reading this.\r\n\r\n<strong>Peter A.

The lake where we swam in, Lake Sonoma, is 40 miles from downtown. This is very unusual when it is usually right at the start or within a few miles of the transition area.  So we had to report for buses leaving at 4 a.m. from the downtown area. Then I had to drive down to the downtown area, park the car and walk over to where the buses were.\r\n\r\nFortunately, my bike and other gear were already at the lake.  After a one-hour bus ride to the lake, I settled in by checking my bike, pumping the tires, filling the water bottles, and loading the nutrition on the bike.  Then it was time to head down to the lakefront. The day before, the water had been very warm, but the morning of the race they determined that it was still wetsuit legal (below 76 degrees). Since everyone else was wearing it, I decided to wear one even though I get very warm in it.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE SWIM: 2.4 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"264\"]<img class=\" wp-image-354\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Swim.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Swim\" width=\"264\" height=\"396\" /> <strong>Swim Finish with his parents\' initials on my forearms</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAs we lined up to start to get in the water there were a few people without wetsuits. At that point, I thought maybe I should not have worn my wetsuit. Swimming is my best sport and the wetsuit does get restrictive in my arm swing, but I decided to keep it on anyway. As I entered the water I realized that the water was very warm. Since it was crowded, I stayed towards the outside of the swimmers because the fast swimmer group I was in can get very aggressive.\r\n\r\nHalfway through the first loop, I realized I was getting too warm. After the first lap, I had the opportunity to run out onto the landing, take it off, and get back into the water. I lost a little time doing this but it was well worth it. The second lap went a lot better as I was not overheating.\r\n\r\nAfter the swim there is a quarter-mile very steep hill to get to your bicycle. They told people to not leave shoes or other footgear down at the bottom. So most of us did not. But some people left shoes halfway up the hill. This was a violation of the rules but no one said anything. They did have some artificial grass-type material down so that the road up was not too tough. But the hill is quite steep and many people, including myself, walked or fast-walked most of the way so as not to exhaust ourselves for the bike ride. Quickly into the transition area, I grabbed my gear, changed, and got onto my bike.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE BIKE: 112 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_353\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"299\"]<img class=\" wp-image-353\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Bike-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Bike 3\" width=\"299\" height=\"538\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 112-mile bike ride</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe bike had 4,000 feet of climbing. I prepared for this so overall it was not too bad. Lots of wineries; at least 30 or more. It was not as scenic as other Ironman races I have done because we did ride along a highway several times but pleasant when going by wineries.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the roads were not in great shape. There are a lot of uneven areas as well as small little potholes. This was even more difficult as it was extremely sunny. When you would go through an area that was shaded you could not see the road since you were wearing dark sunglasses. This made for an uncomfortable ride.\r\n\r\nRight before we got to town, at about the 65-mile mark, I got a flat. I did not notice it at first but as my speed dropped and I was pushing even harder, I had to get off the bike and check. Sure enough, the tire was flat. And it was the back tire, which takes more to change. But to my surprise, as I dismounted, one of the repair vehicles that circles the bike course (there were three or four of them) pulled up right behind me. What luck! The mechanic grabbed his pump and had my tire changed, pumped up, and ready to go in less than two minutes. Faster than I could have ever have done it. And without greasy hands too!\r\n\r\nSo back on the bike, I finally got to the town where we then had to ride two 17-mile loops. This was invigorating as the crowd was there. Unfortunately, on these loops, the road got even worse. There were areas that were so bumpy one of the following riders said he thought he lost a crown. We all laughed. Although they predicted it to be in the 90s, it only went to about 86 or 87 degrees. But it was very sunny with no wind and with minimal shade, so it did get warm. All in all, I had a good bike ride.\r\n\r\nSo, as we entered the town on the last loop, the crowds were cheering. Then it was into T2 tent and change into running shoes, visor, down some nutrition and out for the 26.2-mile marathon run.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE RUN: 26.2 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_352\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"255\"]<img class=\" wp-image-352\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Run-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Run 2\" width=\"255\" height=\"459\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields during the 26.2-mile run</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAs we left the change tent, there were lots of people yelling and screaming encouragement. This was a good thing. It was now very sunny and very warm outside. Most of the run was done along a dry riverbed. Then the crowds dwindled. There was some shade but not everywhere, so the sun took its toll, and I had some difficulties with my foot. Fortunately, I could adjust my running gait and keep going.\r\n\r\nThe first 8.8 miles (the first loop) was pretty good. On the second, the foot pain got stronger and I had to walk/run quite a bit. But, as always, I just kept moving forward. There were a lot of runners out there for support. And of course, I was supporting the others that were not doing well. Being with the other athletes gave me tremendous moral support and the will to not give up.\r\n\r\nThe second loop was tough as it took place during the 11th and 13th hours of racing, so keeping one\'s mind occupied is imperative. Dealing with my foot pain plus the physical and mental exhaustion that one experiences in an Ironman are always a challenge. As I began the third loop, I knew that if I made it to the turnaround at 4.4 miles, I was home free. As I made the final turn to head back towards town I knew that no matter how tough things got I was going to make it.\r\n<h3>Crossing the Finish Line</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_351\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"289\"]<img class=\" wp-image-351\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Ironman-Santa-Rosa-Finishline-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ironman Santa Rosa Finishline 3\" width=\"289\" height=\"520\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields crossing the finish line</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nI encouraged those that I passed as well as the ones that were only on their second loop. As I exited the riverbed area up onto the streets, I thought I only had less than a quarter-mile to go, when in fact it was really over half a mile.\r\n\r\nJust then a guy ran up to me and said, “Hey Peter you\'re doing great”. I did not recognize him but I had my name on my running bib and thought he just saw that. He ran alongside me and told me that his girlfriend was not far behind. He told me her name and that did not ring a bell either.\r\n\r\nIt really didn’t matter as he was encouraging me, which was needed at that time. He finally turned around to go back to meet her. As I ran off, the energy that he had given me would carry me the rest of the way. As I came down the final stretch I knew I was going to finish my 9th Ironman Triathlon. It was tough but Ironman is never easy. The exhilaration and enthusiasm of the crowd, and hearing the announcer say, <strong>\"<em>Peter Fields, you are an Ironman!”</em>,</strong> never gets old. Never.\r\n\r\nAs I came through the shoot and they took my pictures, I looked over and there was the young guy who I had seen as I exited the riverbed.  As I approached him, I recognized him as the son of one of my best friends.  We both laughed and embraced and I told him how appreciative I was for his encouragement.\r\n\r\n<strong class=\"subhead\">POSTSCRIPT</strong>\r\n\r\nThese races are not only a physical challenge but also a mental challenge. With the difficulties with the wetsuit, the warm water, the uneven roads, the heat, the flat tire, and my foot problems on the run, this was not an easy race. But again, I persevered.\r\n\r\nI always keep a remembrance of my parents with me at all times in my race jersey pocket. When things would get bad, I would reach back and touch it and say. \"thanks mom and dad for being with me.\" This kept me going through any difficulties I was having. With all their struggles in their lives (fleeing near-certain death in fascist Germany, emigrating with almost nothing, meeting each other in the US and building a new life and more), they just kept moving forward and never looked back.\r\n\r\nThey taught me over and over again, that no matter how tough things get in life, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. They supported me no matter what I did as long as I had my heart and mind in it. On this day, and every day of my life, I knew they were with me all the way.\r\n\r\nAs I said after they passed, “You are not dead, dead or only those that one forgets”. I will never forget them as they never forgot me. This, and all of my races, are dedicated in their honor. And I always start each race with their initials marked on my forearms.\r\n\r\nI want to thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting me, whether online, thinking about me, or by reading this.\r\n\r\n<strong>Peter A.

A 3 hr. flight to Dallas and then 2 1/2 hours to Cozumel. I arrived five days before the race. Then the usual registering, getting ready, and just sitting back and relaxing the last few days.\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">RACE DAY MORNING</strong></h3>\nI awoke at 3:30 a.m., breakfast at 4 a.m, and then to the race start. In Cozumel, you start 2.2 miles away for the T1 (transition one) area where you have your bike, so first, you go to the transition area and make sure everything is OK as you leave your bike and bike clothes the day before. You fill your bottles with water, pump your tires, place some nutrition on the bike and then take a bus over to the race start.\n\nThere was nothing unusual at the race start this morning except for the fact that I forgot my speed suit.  A wetsuit is not allowed in the race when the water temp is above 76.5 degrees (actually it was 79 degrees today). Like many athletes, I usually wear a speed suit over my Triathlon suit. This is a suit that is very similar to what Olympic swimmers wear to streamline the body. But it really was no big deal as swimming is my best sport and at best it can take seconds and not minutes off my swim.\n\nOne of my highlights of standing in the corral waiting for the swim start was that I was actually standing next to, and met, The Iron Cowboy. This is a 41-year-old guy who just the year before had done what is really considered impossible. That is, he did 50 Ironman races in 50 days in 50 states. Yes, you heard me correctly. It was a monumental effort and he did it to raise awareness for several different organizations. I told him what an honor it was to have met him.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_327\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"244\"]<img class=\" wp-image-327\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Swim-2-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Swim 2 160\" width=\"244\" height=\"435\" /> <strong>Swim Start with his parents\' initials on his forearms</strong>[/caption]\n<h3 class=\"col-md-8\"><strong class=\"subhead\">THE SWIM: 2.4 Miles</strong></h3>\nThe swim for me is never a major challenge as it is my best event. The start in Cozumel is very organized and controlled. They let about five to ten people off the end of the pier about every 15 seconds, so it never gets very crowded.\n\nThe water is very nice and it makes for an enjoyable swim. You can see down 30 - 50 feet and see schools of fish along the way. You can also see the scuba diver lifeguards who are strategically placed along the way in case anything happens.\n\nWhile swimming, about halfway thru the race, I did detect a current as it picked up and was coming towards us. This is not the norm as usually, you swim with the current but occasionally it can change. I just moved on and kept motoring through. In the end, I found out my time was just a minute or two slower than usual but most were 10-20 minutes slower than their usual time.\n\nThen out of the water, run over to the transition tent to dry off, get my helmet, bike shoes, and sunglasses, and then on to the bike for 112 mile bike ride.\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE BIKE: 112 Miles</strong></h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_328\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"316\"]<img class=\" wp-image-328\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Bike-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Bike 160\" width=\"316\" height=\"413\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 112-mile bike ride</strong>[/caption]\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">Having done this race three times before, I knew that bike course well. The backside of the island has a 12-mile stretch where you are hit hard by the wind. But I felt really good and rode the first loop faster than I had ever done before.</p>\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">In the second loop, I kept my pace going but the winds got tougher on the backside of the island. They were hitting at about 20 to 25 miles an hour so you had to stay low on the bike.</p>\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">In the third loop, I did well on the leeward side of the island but once I hit the windward side of the island, I slowed because the winds were blowing over 30 miles an hour. At this point, you just tough it out and wait for the final stretch, with the wind at your back, into town. All-in-all I felt very good and I ended up having my best cycle time in Cozumel.</p>\n\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE RUN: 26.2 Miles</strong></h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_329\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"278\"]<img class=\" wp-image-329\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Run-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Run 160\" width=\"278\" height=\"500\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 26.2-mile run</strong>[/caption]\n\nAt a transition, I felt very strong. The sun was out and it didn\'t rain but it was not too hot. In my first loop, which is about 8.8 miles, I felt very good.\n\nDuring my second loop, I developed some foot pain but was able to adjust my stride so it really didn\'t bother me. Unfortunately, halfway through this second loop I developed some hamstring pain. This is something I hadn\'t had before.\n\nAt 13.1 miles, there is the special needs station. This is where one leaves out things they would like halfway to the race. I took some extra gels and a Motrin I had in there. Unfortunately, that was not enough. So, I tried running nine-tenths of a mile and walking a tenth of a mile. The pain stayed with me so then I ran/walked for a while. Ironman races are all about staying in the game, so I just put the pain out of my head and kept going.\n\nI also found some ice at an aid station and wrapped that around my leg. Overall this hindered my run. On the 3rd loop, I walked a lot; at least more than I ran.\n<h3>The Finish Line</h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_332\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"275\"]<img class=\" wp-image-332\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Finish-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Finish 160\" width=\"275\" height=\"507\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields crossing the finish line</strong>[/caption]\n\nI was hurting but there was nothing I could do. That was for the first four to five miles of the 8.4-mile run. And with three and a half miles to go I just grinned and bore it and said I\'m almost done so let me just run through it.\n\nSo, as I came back into town and the lights of the town became brighter and brighter, I felt very strong. I started seeing the big crowds at about a mile-and-a-half out which inspired me even more. I was now running very well, even passing other competitors who I cheered on. As I came to the last 500 meters the crowds and people cheering were very loud and inspiring.\n\nAlthough my leg was giving me a lot of pain at that time, in Ironman it\'s all about crisis control. You never say never. So I just kept a smile on my face and kept moving forward. As I came down the last 50-meter stretch the feeling is indescribable. I finally knew I had done it. I\'d finished my 8th Ironman.\n\nAnd as I came up to the Finish Line, I was exhausted but feeling unbelievably good. The feeling never gets old when the announcer says: \"Peter Fields, you are an Ironman!\"\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\n<strong>POST SCRIPT</strong>\n\nAs I\'ve described in other race reports, my parents instilled in me the ability to work thru things no matter how hard it gets. Life is not always easy, just like an Ironman. There are some easy stretches and some hard times. But you just keep your head down and keep moving forward. The spirit of my parents never left me during the entire race. Their attention, caring and never ending love for me was always in my thoughts. As with every race, as I get towards the end, I imagine my parents there embracing me like they had for so many years. Their eternal love and kindness carries me through more than just my Ironman races.\n\n<strong>PS</strong> Once again I was first out of the water in my age group in the swim. After the bike, I was in the top third of my age group. This was a first for me. Unfortunately after the run, due to the above-mentioned issues, I fell back and finished towards the top of the lower third for my age group. But all in all, it was a good race.\n\n<strong>PPS</strong> I want to thank everybody who not only read this but also who thought of or followed me during the race.

A 3 hr. flight to Dallas and then 2 1/2 hours to Cozumel. I arrived five days before the race. Then the usual registering, getting ready, and just sitting back and relaxing the last few days.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">RACE DAY MORNING</strong></h3>\r\nI awoke at 3:30 a.m., breakfast at 4 a.m, and then to the race start. In Cozumel, you start 2.2 miles away for the T1 (transition one) area where you have your bike, so first, you go to the transition area and make sure everything is OK as you leave your bike and bike clothes the day before. You fill your bottles with water, pump your tires, place some nutrition on the bike and then take a bus over to the race start.\r\n\r\nThere was nothing unusual at the race start this morning except for the fact that I forgot my speed suit.  A wetsuit is not allowed in the race when the water temp is above 76.5 degrees (actually it was 79 degrees today). Like many athletes, I usually wear a speed suit over my Triathlon suit. This is a suit that is very similar to what Olympic swimmers wear to streamline the body. But it really was no big deal as swimming is my best sport and at best it can take seconds and not minutes off my swim.\r\n\r\nOne of my highlights of standing in the corral waiting for the swim start was that I was actually standing next to, and met, The Iron Cowboy. This is a 41-year-old guy who just the year before had done what is really considered impossible. That is, he did 50 Ironman races in 50 days in 50 states. Yes, you heard me correctly. It was a monumental effort and he did it to raise awareness for several different organizations. I told him what an honor it was to have met him.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_327\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"244\"]<img class=\" wp-image-327\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Swim-2-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Swim 2 160\" width=\"244\" height=\"435\" /> <strong>Swim Start with his parents\' initials on his forearms</strong>[/caption]\r\n<h3 class=\"col-md-8\"><strong class=\"subhead\">THE SWIM: 2.4 Miles</strong></h3>\r\nThe swim for me is never a major challenge as it is my best event. The start in Cozumel is very organized and controlled. They let about five to ten people off the end of the pier about every 15 seconds, so it never gets very crowded.\r\n\r\nThe water is very nice and it makes for an enjoyable swim. You can see down 30 - 50 feet and see schools of fish along the way. You can also see the scuba diver lifeguards who are strategically placed along the way in case anything happens.\r\n\r\nWhile swimming, about halfway thru the race, I did detect a current as it picked up and was coming towards us. This is not the norm as usually, you swim with the current but occasionally it can change. I just moved on and kept motoring through. In the end, I found out my time was just a minute or two slower than usual but most were 10-20 minutes slower than their usual time.\r\n\r\nThen out of the water, run over to the transition tent to dry off, get my helmet, bike shoes, and sunglasses, and then on to the bike for 112 mile bike ride.\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE BIKE: 112 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_328\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"316\"]<img class=\" wp-image-328\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Bike-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Bike 160\" width=\"316\" height=\"413\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 112-mile bike ride</strong>[/caption]\r\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">Having done this race three times before, I knew that bike course well. The backside of the island has a 12-mile stretch where you are hit hard by the wind. But I felt really good and rode the first loop faster than I had ever done before.</p>\r\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">In the second loop, I kept my pace going but the winds got tougher on the backside of the island. They were hitting at about 20 to 25 miles an hour so you had to stay low on the bike.</p>\r\n<p class=\"col-md-8\">In the third loop, I did well on the leeward side of the island but once I hit the windward side of the island, I slowed because the winds were blowing over 30 miles an hour. At this point, you just tough it out and wait for the final stretch, with the wind at your back, into town. All-in-all I felt very good and I ended up having my best cycle time in Cozumel.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong class=\"subhead\">THE RUN: 26.2 Miles</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_329\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"278\"]<img class=\" wp-image-329\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Run-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Run 160\" width=\"278\" height=\"500\" /> <strong>Dr. Fields during the 26.2 mile run</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAt a transition, I felt very strong. The sun was out and it didn\'t rain but it was not too hot. In my first loop, which is about 8.8 miles, I felt very good.\r\n\r\nDuring my second loop, I developed some foot pain but was able to adjust my stride so it really didn\'t bother me. Unfortunately, halfway through this second loop I developed some hamstring pain. This is something I hadn\'t had before. At 13.1 miles, there is the special needs station. This is where one leaves out things they would like halfway to the race. I took some extra gels and a Motrin I had in there. Unfortunately, that was not enough. So, I tried running nine tenths of a mile and walking a tenth of a mile. The pain stayed with me so then I ran/walked for a while. Ironman races are all about staying in the game, so I just put the pain out of my head and kept going. I also found some ice at an aid station and wrapped that around my leg. Overall this hindered my run. On the 3rd loop I walked a lot; at least more than I ran.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_332\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"160\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-332\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Cozumel-2016-Finish-160.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel 2016 Finish 160\" width=\"160\" height=\"295\" /> <strong> Dr. Fields crossing the finish line</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nDr. Fields crossing the finish line I was hurting but there was nothing I could do. That was for the first four to five miles of the 8.4 mile run. And with three and a half for miles to go I just grinned and beared it and said I\'m almost done so let me just run through it. So, as I came back into town and the lights of the town became brighter and brighter, I felt very strong. I started seeing the big crowds at about a mile-and-a-half out which inspired me even more. I was now running very well, even passing other competitors who I cheered on. As I came to the last 500 meters the crowds and people cheering were very loud and inspiring. Although my leg was giving me a lot of pain at that time, in Ironman it\'s all about crisis control. You never say never. So I just kept a smile on my face and kept moving forward. As I came down the last 50 meters stretch the feeling is indescribable. I finally knew I had done it. I\'d finished my 8th Ironman. And as I came up to the Finish Line, I was exhausted but feeling unbelievably good. The feeling never gets old when the announcer says: \"Peter Fields, you are an Ironman!\"\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<strong>POST SCRIPT</strong>\r\n\r\nAs I\'ve described in other race reports, my parents instilled in me the ability to work thru things no matter how hard it gets. Life is not always easy, just like an Ironman. There are some easy stretches and some hard times. But you just keep your head down and keep moving forward. The spirit of my parents never left me during the entire race. Their attention, caring and never ending love for me was always in my thoughts. As with every race, as I get towards the end, I imagine my parents there embracing me like they had for so many years. Their eternal love and kindness carries me through more than just my Ironman races.\r\n\r\n<strong>PS</strong> Once again I was first out of the water in my age group in the swim. After the bike, I was in the top third of my age group. This was a first for me. Unfortunately after the run, due to the above-mentioned issues, I fell back and finished towards the top of the lower third for my age group. But all in all, it was a good race.\r\n\r\n<strong>PPS</strong> I want to thank everybody who not only read this but also who thought of or followed me during the race. Thank you all very much.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<strong>Peter A.

Another name for Runner’s Knee is Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). And it is characterized by anterior knee pain.\r\n\r\nSufferers of this condition commonly experience pain behind and around the kneecap or patella. Runner’s Knee can affect one or both knees and is a knee complaint among athletes and non-athletes alike. It particularly affects adolescents and young adults. And it is quite common in younger recreational runners, with females suffering more frequently than males.\r\n\r\nSeveral forces act on the patella to provide stability and keep it tracking properly, as it articulates with the patellofemoral groove in the femur.\r\n\r\nThe patella not only moves up and down but also tilts and rotates. That allows for various points of contact between the patella and femur. Repetitive contact at these locations combined with the abnormal articulation of the patella is thought to be the cause of the pain behind and around the patella in patellofemoral pain syndrome.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPatellofemoral Pain Syndrome should be distinguished from chondromalacia. Chondromalacia is actual fraying and damage to the underlying patellar cartilage. Chondromalacia patella can be a cause of patellofemoral pain syndrome.\r\n<h2>What’s Behind Runner’s Knee?</h2>\r\nThere are many theories to explain the pathophysiology of Runner’s Knee. They include muscular, overuse, and biomechanical theories. The cause of pain and dysfunction may result from abnormal forces such as tight or weak quadriceps, subluxation, or dislocation of the patellofemoral joint can also present.\r\n\r\nRunner’s Knee may be due to prolonged repetitive activities such as running or jumping, which put excessive sheering forces on the patellofemoral joint. And anatomic factors that predispose toward patellofemoral pain or instability include excessive rotation of the hip or shin bone, knock knees, hyperextended knees, and/or poor foot alignment. Also, ligamentous, meniscal, and soft tissue damage can cause patellofemoral pain syndrome. Other causes of patellofemoral pain are fractures, arthritis of the knee, and bony tumors in or around the knee.\r\n\r\nAlthough the exact etiology of Runner’s Knee is unclear, the abnormal articulation along with abnormal muscular and other biomechanical factors change the forces placed upon the patellofemoral joint. The abnormal movement leads to instability and improper tracking as the patella articulates with the patellofemoral groove in the femur.\r\n\r\nFor example, when the knee is flexed, the patella glides through the groove in the femur. If the bones in the lower leg are not aligned correctly, this gliding becomes abnormal. An overload on the patellofemoral joint occurs with flexion of the knee (bending) as this movement increases the pressure between the patella and the various contact points with the femur. With repeated episodes, the joint becomes unstable. Especially if the joint remains out of alignment. This abnormal tracking can lead to increased wear between the bone surfaces, and eventually the articular cartilage.\r\n<h2>What Are the Symptoms?</h2>\r\nBesides the tenderness behind, around, and at the center of the patella, there may also be pain toward the back of the knee. Crepitation or cracking sounds may be heard, as well as a feeling of instability in the knee joint. The pain typically occurs with activity. And it often worsens with activities that include steps, hills, and uneven surfaces.\r\n\r\nGoing downhill or downstairs aggravates the condition. Prolonged sitting can trigger pain due to the extra pressure between the patella and femur during knee flexion. Straightening of the legs may decrease the discomfort. Squatting and kneeling also exacerbate the pain, which can be dull, sharp, or burning.\r\n<h2>How is Runner’s Knee Treated?</h2>\r\nThe common treatment approach for Runner’s Knee usually involves activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, the RICE protocol, ultrasound, and orthotics. And physical therapy is often recommended. PT may include quadriceps-based exercises together with hamstrings, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, anterior hip muscles, and iliotibial band stretching exercises.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4957\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4957\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Runners-Knee.PRP_.Stems-4-500x419.png\" alt=\"Runner\'s Knee.prp.stems 4\" width=\"500\" height=\"419\" /> <strong>         PRP and Stem Cells Are Effective for Runner\'s Knee</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nThis approach may help temporarily. But it does not fix the problem of instability in the knee joint which is causing the misalignment. With Runner’s Knee, instead of tracking in the groove of the femur, the patella oftentimes tracks laterally. A sunrise view X-Ray and a functional assessment of the knee by the physician will reveal how the patella is tracking. Strengthening of the vastus medialis may be helpful. And exercises such as cycling are recommended, but often that alone will not resolve the Runner’s Knee.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics, including PRP and/or Prolotherapy injections to the medial side of the patella, will strengthen the attachment of the vastus medialis to the patella. The resultant strengthening pulls the patella into the groove, which allows for a realignment of the patella.\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics along with vastus medialis strengthening will relieve the pain and speed up the process of normalizing the patellar tracking in Runner’s Knee. The combination allows for a quick return to activities.\r\n<div class=\"vk-ContentBody sc-NQaSp cRMilg\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-hSBNlM iAaHRI\">A 2021 article in \"The American Journal of Sports Medicine\" says PRP, in combination with rehabilitation, is effective in reducing pain and improving activity levels for those with knee injuries like Runner\'s Knee.1</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<h3>References</h3>\r\nRodas, Gil, et al. \"Effect of autologous expanded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells or leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma in chronic patellar tendinopathy (with gap&gt; 3 mm): preliminary outcomes after 6 months of a double-blind, randomized, prospective study.\" <i>The American Journal of Sports Medicine</i> 49.6 (2021): 1492-1504.\r\n<div class=\"sc-fvjPtz dgNjOL\"></div>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/\"> Click here for more articles</a>','Runner’s Knee Pain','','inherit','closed','closed','','2894-revision-v1','','','2022-03-04 19:41:12','2022-03-04 19:41:12','',2894,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=4958',0,'revision','',0),(4960,9,'2022-03-26 16:08:17','2022-03-26 16:08:17','Back Pain.hauser','Back Pain.hauser','Prolotherapy and PRP Are Beneficial for Back Pain','inherit','open','closed','','back-pain-hauser','','','2022-03-26 16:09:03','2022-03-26 16:09:03','',1410,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Back-Pain.Hauser.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4961,9,'2022-03-26 16:10:50','2022-03-26 16:10:50','[caption id=\"attachment_4490\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"445\"]<img class=\" wp-image-4490\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/BACK-pain-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Back Pain\" width=\"445\" height=\"445\" /> <em><strong>          Unrelenting Back Pain Resolved with Prolotherapy</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics</h3>\r\nIs your unrelenting back pain becoming progressively worse? And is prolonged sitting or standing for extended periods of time getting more and more difficult? Do you frequently pop or crack your own back to get some relief or are your adjustments not holding? Have you tried all different types of treatments to find some relief?\r\n<h3>Common Treatment Options for Unrelenting Back Pain</h3>\r\nDoes this sound like you? It\'s true that many commonly used treatments for back pain can ease some of the pain. For example, sOTC pain medication, NSAIDs, and massage can provide a bit of relief.\r\n\r\nWhen the pain persists, some folks with back pain turn to narcotics, steroids,, and even anti-depressants. But these treatment options come with their own set of problems. Oftentimes, back pain becomes chronic, and can last three to six months or more, with the pain returning again and again.\r\n<h3>Pain Will Continue Until the Underlying Cause Is Addressed</h3>\r\nSo why don’t these treatments make the pain go away for good? The pain stays because the underlying causative factor has not been repaired. Pain medications, NSAIDs, steroids, and anti-depressants are not reparative. And they do not fix the ligamentous source of the musculoskeletal pain. They may relieve some of the symptoms for a period of time, but they do not correct the problem. Injured ligaments are frequently the root cause of back pain. Therefore, when they remain unrepaired, the back pain sufferer is left with ongoing pain and will continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\r\n\r\nChiropractors can provide relief for back pain, with care that is often excellent in many cases. However, there are times when back pain becomes more and more frequent, and the adjustments do not hold. In these instances, the patient experiences pain again only a few days after getting treatment. Ligament and/or tendon injuries are very likely at the root of this back pain problem.\r\n\r\nImaging tools, like X-rays and MRI’s, may be helpful in certain situations. But although highly accessible, their usage has not caused the rates of back pain to go down.\r\n<h3>What Causes Back Pain?</h3>\r\nBack pain is often the result of an injury, possibly due to sudden movements and poor body mechanics. It may also be due to trauma that transpires during a sports activity, fall,, or motor vehicle accident. Acute injuries, such as minor muscle strains, frequently heal quickly due to the great blood supply and healing capacity of the muscles.\r\n\r\nHowever, many back pain sufferers deal with chronic pain, or pain that lasts more than three to six months. And all too often, the underlying cause is not identified. The common denominator for many painful musculoskeletal conditions causing back pain is spinal instability due to injury to the ligaments. <em><strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical treatment that can provide the solution to heal those injured ligaments and get rid of your back pain.</strong></em>\r\n<h4>Let’s Explain What Happens In Disc Degeneration and Herniated Discs:</h4>\r\nA herniated disc actually herniates <em><strong>through</strong></em> ligaments. Disc degeneration occurs when ligaments around the spine are injured. That’s why treatment needs to be directed at healing these injured ligaments. Interestingly, when scientists want to induce a disc herniation or degeneration in an animal, they damage the ligaments. After the ligaments are intentionally injured, within a short period of time, the discs will become degenerated or herniated.\r\n\r\nLigaments are supportive structures joining bone to bone. In the back or spine, they connect adjacent vertebrae. The ligaments of the back serve as one of the primary stabilizing structures of the spinal column. They help to provide adequate motion and also restrict excessive movement, which protects the spinal column and nerve roots as they exit the spine.\r\n\r\nInstability is part of the pathophysiology of the degenerated and herniated disc. When the ligaments around the spine are injured, excessive joint mobility occurs, and the bones (vertebrae) move too much. The extra movement creates unstable vertebrae, which will result in back pain.\r\n\r\nWhy does movement lead to pain? The exaggerated motion from instability causes abnormal forces and pressure on the discs between the vertebrae.  And that will eventually produce degeneration of the discs. Disc degeneration eventually leads to arthritis. When the ligaments become stretched out or injured, the muscles tighten and generate pain. You feel this in the form of muscle spasms.\r\n\r\nIf the ligaments and/or muscles are unable to stabilize the vertebrae, the body overgrows bone. This overgrowth of bone produces the loss of motion noted in arthritis as the body tries to stabilize the spine.\r\n<h4>Does Fusion Surgery Help the Instability?</h4>\r\nFusion surgery can prevent the motion of these segments that are moving excessively.

And is prolonged sitting or standing for extended periods of time getting more and more difficult? Do you frequently pop or crack your own back to get some relief or are your adjustments not holding? Have you tried all different types of treatments to find some relief?\r\n<h3>Common Treatment Options for Unrelenting Back Pain</h3>\r\nDoes this sound like you? It\'s true that many commonly used treatments for back pain can ease some of the pain. For example, sOTC pain medication, NSAIDs, and massage can provide a bit of relief.\r\n\r\nWhen the pain persists, some folks with back pain turn to narcotics, steroids,, and even anti-depressants. But these treatment options come with their own set of problems. Oftentimes, back pain becomes chronic, and can last three to six months or more, with the pain returning again and again.\r\n<h3>Pain Will Continue Until the Underlying Cause Is Addressed</h3>\r\nSo why don’t these treatments make the pain go away for good? The pain stays because the underlying causative factor has not been repaired. Pain medications, NSAIDs, steroids, and anti-depressants are not reparative. And they do not fix the ligamentous source of the musculoskeletal pain. They may relieve some of the symptoms for a period of time, but they do not correct the problem. Injured ligaments are frequently the root cause of back pain. Therefore, when they remain unrepaired, the back pain sufferer is left with ongoing pain and will continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\r\n\r\nChiropractors can provide relief for back pain, with care that is often excellent in many cases. However, there are times when back pain becomes more and more frequent, and the adjustments do not hold. In these instances, the patient experiences pain again only a few days after getting treatment. Ligament and/or tendon injuries are very likely at the root of this back pain problem.\r\n\r\nImaging tools, like X-rays and MRI’s, may be helpful in certain situations. But although highly accessible, their usage has not caused the rates of back pain to go down.\r\n<h3>What Causes Back Pain?</h3>\r\nBack pain is often the result of an injury, possibly due to sudden movements and poor body mechanics. It may also be due to trauma that transpires during a sports activity, fall,, or motor vehicle accident. Acute injuries, such as minor muscle strains, frequently heal quickly due to the great blood supply and healing capacity of the muscles.\r\n\r\nHowever, many back pain sufferers deal with chronic pain, or pain that lasts more than three to six months. And all too often, the underlying cause is not identified. The common denominator for many painful musculoskeletal conditions causing back pain is spinal instability due to injury to the ligaments. <em><strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical treatment that can provide the solution to heal those injured ligaments and get rid of your back pain.</strong></em>\r\n<h4>Let’s Explain What Happens In Disc Degeneration and Herniated Discs:</h4>\r\nA herniated disc actually herniates <em><strong>through</strong></em> ligaments. Disc degeneration occurs when ligaments around the spine are injured. That’s why treatment needs to be directed at healing these injured ligaments. Interestingly, when scientists want to induce a disc herniation or degeneration in an animal, they damage the ligaments. After the ligaments are intentionally injured, within a short period of time, the discs will become degenerated or herniated.\r\n\r\nLigaments are supportive structures joining bone to bone. In the back or spine, they connect adjacent vertebrae. The ligaments of the back serve as one of the primary stabilizing structures of the spinal column. They help to provide adequate motion and also restrict excessive movement, which protects the spinal column and nerve roots as they exit the spine.\r\n\r\nInstability is part of the pathophysiology of the degenerated and herniated disc. When the ligaments around the spine are injured, excessive joint mobility occurs, and the bones (vertebrae) move too much. The extra movement creates unstable vertebrae, which will result in back pain.\r\n\r\nWhy does movement lead to pain? The exaggerated motion from instability causes abnormal forces and pressure on the discs between the vertebrae.  And that will eventually produce degeneration of the discs. Disc degeneration eventually leads to arthritis. When the ligaments become stretched out or injured, the muscles tighten and generate pain. You feel this in the form of muscle spasms.\r\n\r\nIf the ligaments and/or muscles are unable to stabilize the vertebrae, the body overgrows bone. This overgrowth of bone produces the loss of motion noted in arthritis as the body tries to stabilize the spine.\r\n<h4>Does Fusion Surgery Help the Instability?</h4>\r\nFusion surgery can prevent the motion of these segments that are moving excessively. However, the fusion does not resolve the underlying ligament injury. Back pain may continue even after surgery due to damage in other vertebral regions, like the segments above or below the fusions, or the unaddressed ligament injury.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments to the area above and below the disc degeneration strengthen the ligaments, resolve the subluxation and instability, and relieve the back pain. The therapy stabilizes the joint by treating the disc degeneration\'s underlying cause and relieving back pain.\r\n<h4>Regeneration, Not Surgery</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4960\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4960\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Back-Pain.Hauser-500x419.png\" alt=\"Back Pain.hauser\" width=\"500\" height=\"419\" /> <strong>             Prolotherapy and PRP Are Beneficial for Back Pain</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic physicians utilize regenerative injection therapies to stimulate the body to repair the ligaments.

Our favorite sport or activity might include swimming, golfing, bicycling, playing tennis, volleyball, or another favorite sport. But injuries to the shoulder are common. How do you stop pain from rotator cuff injuries and other shoulder problems?\r\n<h3>The Unique Shoulder Joint and How That Uniqueness Predisposes Us to Shoulder Injury</h3>\r\nThe shoulder is a unique joint in that it is incredibly flexible. The shoulder joint is one of the body’s ball and socket joints, equipped with a huge range of motion. That’s a great feature! Why? Because so many of the activities the shoulder is called upon to perform require mobility and flexibility.\r\n\r\n<em>But there is a balance between flexibility and the maintenance of joint stability.</em> The downside of all that flexibility and motion is injury and instability. And that unfortunately results in pain and impaired function! Athletes such as pitchers, quarterbacks, tennis players, and swimmers, are prone to shoulder injuries. These sports all require repetitive overhead movements. Even golfers suffer regularly from shoulder injuries due to the positioning in the backswing, which commonly affects the non-dominant shoulder. Jobs requiring repeated overhead motion, like painting, can aggravate the shoulder as well and lead to shoulder injury and pain.\r\n<h3>What\'s Behind Rotator Cuff and Other Shoulder Injuries?</h3>\r\nAggressive, repetitive use can cause ligaments to stretch out and elongate. Does your shoulder click and clunk? That\'s not normal. But it is a result of stretched-out soft tissue and abnormal motion in the shoulder joint. Unfortunately, the ligaments do not have much of a blood supply. And when injured, the lower blood supply means ligament healing can be insufficient. If complete healing does not occur, then the abnormal joint motion from unstable ligaments continues.\r\n\r\nDamaged ligaments need time to remodel and repair. For instance, a tennis player with shoulder pain may need to reduce training hours and allow for proper rest time between workouts. The same is true for the golfer, swimmer, pitcher, and painter! With inadequate healing, the shoulder becomes unstable and will start making a clunking or clicking noise. When this occurs with every stroke or swing motion, it can indicate a more severe, multidirectional shoulder instability. The shoulder joint at this point is moving abnormally in a variety of directions, generating more shoulder injury and provoking shoulder pain.\r\n<h3>Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injury</h3>\r\nHave you or someone you know suffered from a rotator cuff injury? It’s quite a common shoulder injury. A rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons surrounding the glenohumeral joint. The function of the rotator cuff is to provide motion for activities above the waist and shoulders. Because of this, injuries to this group of muscles and tendons often transpire with overhead activities.\r\n\r\nOngoing instability causes strain and weakness in the rotator cuff muscles, which persists at fatiguing the muscles. This will alter the way they function and move, and can lead to injury to other shoulder structures. You can picture how continuing to use poor form, or persisting to work out with an injured shoulder, can set the sufferer on an ongoing course of abnormal joint motion and shoulder injury. Continued overuse results in increased instability, a weaker rotator cuff, and an eventual tear and shoulder degeneration.\r\n<h4>Glenoid Labral Tears of the Shoulder</h4>\r\nAnother affliction common to the shoulder is a glenoid labrum injury. The glenoid labrum is a very important structure because it stabilizes the shoulder. The glenoid is the shoulder socket and the labrum is basically the soft tissue surrounding the socket. A tear to this soft tissue labrum is prevalent in workers who do a lot of manual labor and is also a common injury in athletes.\r\n\r\nThis shoulder injury can occur in a traumatic event, through repetitive motion, or with recurrent dislocations. When the labrum is torn, other ligaments and tendons surrounding the shoulder are often injured too. So if the forces involved in the injury were significant enough to tear the labrum, they were most likely also sufficient to injure the ligaments or tendons.\r\n\r\nKeep this in mind when seeking repair, because all of the injured shoulder structures need to be treated to have a completely healed shoulder joint. Otherwise, the healing will be incomplete, and a cycle of shoulder injury, shoulder re-injury, and shoulder pain is set in motion.\r\n<h4>Should Surgery Be Sought in Shoulder Injuries?</h4>\r\nSurgery is commonly sought to stop pain from rotator cuff injuries and labral tears, but the correction is often ineffective. Why is that? The reason is that surgery, including arthroscopic treatment, involves the removal or debridement of the shoulder structures. When these structures are removed, the shoulder joint is left more unstable, and prone to re-injury!\r\n\r\nGuess what happens when the instability is not repaired? The ongoing <em><strong>abnormal movement</strong></em> will eventually result in the development of arthritis. That\'s because the body will try to stop the movement or stabilize the shoulder by growing more bone! More instability results in more problems and more shoulder pain.\r\n<h4><em>What About Other Conservative Treatment Options to Stop Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injuries?</em></h4>\r\nConservative treatments such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids are often recommended too. And although they may give some short-term pain relief, these treatments do not resolve the underlying soft tissue tears and shoulder injury. Sadly, these treatments inhibit healing and further the problem they are given for in the first place. The shoulder pain sufferer is then left with unhealed soft tissue in the shoulder, abnormal motion, and continued pain.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4964\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4964\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Shoulder.-Journal-of-Clinical-Imaging-500x419.png\" alt=\"Shoulder. Journal Of Clinical Imaging\" width=\"500\" height=\"419\" /> <strong>             PRP is effective at reducing shoulder pain</strong>[/caption]\r\n<h4><strong>Regenerative Treatments That Heal the Shoulder</strong></h4>\r\nWhen shoulder injuries do occur or when injuries do not heal properly despite trials of multiple treatment modalities, an effective option is available. Non-Surgical Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Stem Cell Therapy, Prolotherapy, and PRP are treatments that can be utilized to treat and repair shoulder injuries such as glenoid labral tears and rotator cuff injuries. These treatments work because they correct the underlying problem and naturally alleviate shoulder pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy, Stem Cell Therapy, and PRP require almost no downtime. They are ideal for athletes who need to continue training, the weekend golfer who doesn’t want to stop their beloved sport, and the painter who cannot afford much downtime. Shoulder injuries often need a treatment that restarts or reboots the ability to repair, and these regenerative therapies do just that. Shoulder instability, rotator cuff injuries, glenoid labral tears (as long as the tear is not complete), and pain can be successfully addressed with these regenerative medicine techniques.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy, Stem Cell Therapy, and PRP are designed to help repair the painful shoulder without cutting, suturing, sewing, or stapling. This is a natural injection therapy that strengthens loose and unstable shoulder joints and the involved ligaments and tendons, creating a more stable, strong, and pain-free shoulder. And this results in the active person being able to continue working or engaging in the sports and activities they love!\r\n<h3>References</h3>\r\n1Sengodan, Vetrivel Chezian, Sajith Kurian, and Raghupathy Ramasamy. \"Treatment of partial rotator cuff tear with ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma.\" <em>Journal of clinical imaging science</em> 7 (2017).\r\n2Mora, Maria Valencia, et al. “Stem cell therapy in the management of shoulder rotator cuff disorders.” <em>World Journal of Stem Cells</em>.4 (2015): 691.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>','Stop Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injuries','','inherit','closed','closed','','1408-revision-v1','','','2022-04-05 00:12:25','2022-04-05 00:12:25','',1408,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=4965',0,'revision','',0),(4967,9,'2022-05-28 03:26:59','2022-05-28 03:26:59','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture ','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture Poster','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture ','inherit','open','closed','','dr-fields-zoom-lecture-poster','','','2022-05-28 03:27:17','2022-05-28 03:27:17','',1434,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Fields-Zoom-Lecture-poster.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4968,9,'2022-05-28 03:28:21','2022-05-28 03:28:21','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture ','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture (facebook Post).2','Dr. Fields\' Zoom Lecture ','inherit','open','closed','','dr-fields-zoom-lecture-facebook-post-2','','','2022-05-28 03:28:31','2022-05-28 03:28:31','',1434,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Fields-Zoom-Lecture-Facebook-Post.2.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4969,9,'2022-05-28 03:34:10','2022-05-28 03:34:10','<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Lecture with Peter A.

Fields, MD, DC</h3>\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter A. Fields</strong>, and I am a leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics and uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that in many cases, you do NOT need to have surgery to repair a severely damaged ligament, tendon, labrum, or meniscus and the pain that goes with it.\n\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery, and there’s a very good chance that I can do the same for you.\n\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong>. These treatments help your body to regenerate and repair the damage in your joint.\n<h3>What is Regenerative Orthopedics?</h3>\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong> is a treatment that causes an increase in nutrient-rich blood cells in the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons or joints. Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong and vibrant tissue. It’s incredibly effective.\n\nAs the tissue grows and strengthens, your joint begins to operate properly, and your pain (and the causes of your pain) dissipate. Many of my patients enjoy a <strong>permanent recovery</strong> from their symptoms and go back to living a normal life without joint pain.\n\nThat means you fix your joint problem and eliminate your pain with…\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong> NO hospital stay </strong></li>\n 	<li><strong> NO general anesthesia </strong></li>\n 	<li><strong> NO surgery </strong></li>\n 	<li><strong> NO surgical complications </strong></li>\n 	<li><strong> NO long recovery </strong></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Platelet Rich Plasma for Joint Repair</h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_4992\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4992\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PRP.-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Prp.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /> Prp.[/caption]\n\n<strong>In certain joint injuries, we recommend PRP.</strong> PRP means “Platelet Rich Plasma”, and the therapy isolates the platelets from your own blood in a centrifuge, and then re-injects this “platelet rich plasma” -- with 7 to 10 times more concentrated growth factors -- where it’s needed. PRP is more effective in these severe situations and typically results in 80% to 85% reduction in joint pain and a similar increase in range of motion. And the results are permanent.\n\nIn addition to severe tendon and ligament tears, torn meniscus and torn labrum, PRP is also effective with torn achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and a long list of severe sports injuries in any joint.\n<h3>Are You A Candidate for PRP?</h3>\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/How-PRP-Repairs-Ligaments-and-Tendons-Without-Surgery#contact\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> and set up a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for PRP Prolotherapy.\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/vQGBBEARjMk?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\n<p class=\"video-text\">May - Knee - <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NEW!</span></p>\nAfter a half marathon, May couldn’t even walk back to her car!
