They have increased so much that, in the last ten years, knee replacements have more than doubled and hip replacements more than tripled. <sup>i</sup> As life expectancy increases, this number will continue to go up. Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee and hip pain, and this condition eventually leads to joint replacement. Stem Cell Treatment is a great non-surgical alternative to joint replacement.\r\n<h4>Traditional Therapies for Joint Pain</h4>\r\nThe goal of traditional therapies is to decrease pain and improve function. Treatments, such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, may help temporarily, but are unfortunately unable to actually repair the joint instability or source of the pain. The increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, meniscus, labrum, etc. changes the way the joint functions and makes the joint unstable and even more susceptible to further soft tissue injury.\r\n\r\nWhat is the result? When left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis. Again, many conventional treatments do not last in providing pain relief because they fail to repair the instability. They are also unable to prevent the eventual joint replacement. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement, can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\r\n\r\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are conservative, non-surgical therapies generally recommended initially for pain alleviation. Although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain short-term, they do not reverse the disease, but rather inhibit the properties of healing. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Interestingly, NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis, but rather accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed, and are a catalyst towards joint replacement.\r\n\r\nIt is interesting to point out that not long after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into joints way back in the 1950s, reports of terrible joint diseases were already surfacing, and even back then, their intra-articular use was discouraged. Corticosteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n\r\nWhat about the popular use of hyaluronic acid injections for joint pain? Unfortunately, those who do find some pain relief from hyaluronic acid, generally only experience short-term results, which are frequently designed to delay the inevitable joint replacement. Even the seemingly harmless RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) protocol has been rescinded by its author due to its detrimental effect on healing.\r\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\r\nAn attempt to eliminate pain or a painful area by the arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue will only delay the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. Arthroscopy is a direct assault to the joint tissue. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may give some temporary relief of symptoms, but in the long-term, will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. In the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement. Athletes, who have surgical repair of injuries, like an ACL tear for example, have a low rate of return to sport, and a high rate of new injury. Surgery makes joint instability worse, not better.\r\n\r\nMany surgeries such as labral repair and ACL reconstruction can provide remarkable short-term pain relief. However, the replacement material will not function long-term like the original. ACL grafts and labral repairs with titanium tacks just do not have the same pliability as the original tissue and cannot restore the joint back to normal. Eventually, they will cause problems. The athlete or any joint pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or corticosteroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the joint strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\r\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Using Stem Cell Treatment Repairs the Joint</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics stimulates healing and repairs the joint, rather than interfering with the normal healing process of the body. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we use the Gold Standard in Regenerative Orthopedics. We use Stem Cells from bone marrow and from fat. Both are excellent sources of Stem Cells. PRP is then used to stimulate the growth of these Stem Cells and to repair the ligaments inside of the joint. The remaining Stem Cells that are left over are used along with Prolotherapy to treat the outside of the joint, where there are many tendons and ligaments that control the joint and keep it stabilized. All of this is known as the Gold Standard in Stem Cell treatment, and is the only procedure we use at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\nStem Cell treatments, PRP and Prolotherapy, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics. They are all effective at stimulating the normal reparative mechanisms of the body, laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee, hip and shoulder labrum, and boosting the cartilage growth. They work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Stem Cells, along with PRP and Prolotherapy, offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and trying to avoid joint replacement.\r\n\r\nWhile surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery. The Gold Standard of Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery.\r\n\r\nOnce surgery is done it cannot be undone!\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n[i] Kim, S.

The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis, which frequently results in knee replacement. Knee pain can also be caused by conditions like bursitis, tendonitis, sports injuries, degenerative joint disease, chondromalacia patellae and meniscal injury, all of which very often lead to the eventual surgical recommendation or intervention.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/Testimonials/Cellular-Regeneration-Testimonials/\">Click to See Stem Cell Testimonial Videos</a>\r\n<h6>Knee Pain Treatments</h6>\r\nBefore surgery, other more conservative therapies are usually attempted to bring relief from the knee pain. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen or Naprosyn) and steroid (cortisone) injections might be included in those initial recommendations. Are these treatments a good choice? Although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown in studies to be effective in decreasing inflammation and providing pain relief in the short-term, they unfortunately have also been shown to change the properties of ligaments and other soft tissue, which ends up slowing down the healing process. Because these medications inhibit soft tissue healing, their use is cautioned in those who have ligament and soft tissue injuries. Therefore, their use in ligament injuries should be used for the shortest period of time, if used at all. Instead, Regenerative Orthopedic techniques, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP and Prolotherapy, which have been shown to strengthen and resolve ligament injuries, repair meniscal injuries, and rebuild cartilage in the knee, should be sought.\r\n<h6>The RICE Protocol</h6>\r\nSo what about the RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) protocol? Everyone knows about the RICE protocol, and most people are quick to put it into action. However, an interesting point is that the RICE protocol has been rescinded by its author due to its detrimental effect on healing. Why? Because it hinders blood supply to the injury, and blood brings the healing factors to an injury. Remember…The river does not flow when it is frozen; and that ‘river’ is your blood.\r\n<h6>What about Hyaluronic Acid Injections?</h6>\r\nHyaluronic acid injections, such as Synvisc or Hyalgen, are some of the most popular conservative treatments for knee pain. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that provides cushion and lubrication to the joints. It can be used as an oral supplement and as an injection that is given directly into the knee joint for the relief of knee pain. Are there drawbacks to the use of hyaluronic acid?\r\n\r\nIf relief is experienced with hyaluronic acid injections, it is generally only for a short period of time. Studies have shown this treatment to actually lack clinical effectiveness. In fact, a systematic review of 89 studies that included over twelve thousand patients comparing hyaluronic acid injections to a sham treatment or to no intervention at all, found that hyaluronic acid supplementation to the knee produced minimal to non-existent results when it came to pain relief and function in knee arthritis patients. That means thousands of patients in these studies received no relief at all, and if they did find relief, it was not much. Unfortunately, those that do find some pain relief with the use of hyaluronic acid, only experience results for a short period of time, and the treatment frequently becomes only a delay for the inevitable knee replacement, because all it does is lubricate a dysfunctional joint, and does not fix anything.\r\n<h6>Other Non-Surgical Treatments</h6>\r\nEven though the goal of many non-surgical treatments such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, is to decrease pain and improve function, they are unable to repair the source of the pain, the ligament or soft tissue injury. Why is it so important to repair the ligaments and other soft tissue? Because the long-term consequence of ligament and soft tissue injuries that are left unhealed is arthritis. Is it any wonder why the treatments mentioned above including hyaluronic acid do not last, and why they are unable to prevent the eventual knee replacement! You see, these treatments are unable to get to the root cause of the problem. The road to arthritis can only be remedied when the problem of ligament injury is addressed. None of the above treatments address this problem. Regenerative Orthopedics does.\r\n<h6>Are Cortisone Injections Really All That Bad?</h6>\r\nSteroids are used to provide anti-inflammatory relief in affected areas of the body. They lessen swelling, redness, itching and allergic reactions, and, in addition to their use for pain, are often used as part of the treatment for a number of different diseases, such as severe allergies or skin problems, asthma, or arthritis. In many of these cases, steroids are lifesaving! The discovery that steroids could be injected into joints was received with enthusiasm, and led to widespread use. However, shortly after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into knee joints in the 1950s, reports of terrible arthropathies, or joint diseases, began to surface. There was an obvious indication that all was not well with this treatment choice. Way back then, the researchers discouraged the use of steroids being injected into the joint, due to their side effects and cell death in the bone.\r\n\r\nSteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Cortisone has a deleterious effect on soft tissue healing by inhibiting blood flow to the injured area, new blood vessel formation, protein synthesis, fibroblast proliferation and ultimately collagen formation. Cortisone weakens collagen and therefore soft tissue such as ligaments and tendons, which contributes to the development of conditions such as arthritis, which as we know, leads to the eventual joint replacement. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n<h6>Surgical Repair</h6>\r\nElimination of knee pain by arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue just delays the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated.

Remember…The river does not flow when it is frozen; and that ‘river’ is your blood.\r\n<h3>What about Hyaluronic Acid Injections? It\'s Natural, Isn\'t It? So That Means It Must Be Good!</h3>\r\nHyaluronic acid injections, such as Synvisc or Hyalgen, are some of the most popular conservative treatments for knee pain. Yes, hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that provides cushion and lubrication to the joints. And it can be used as an oral supplement and as an injection that is given directly into the knee joint for the relief of knee pain.\r\n<h4><em>But are there drawbacks to the use of hyaluronic acid?</em></h4>\r\nOne drawback of hyaluronic acid is that if relief is actually experienced with hyaluronic acid injections, it is generally only for a short period of time. Also, studies have shown this treatment actually lacks clinical effectiveness. In fact, a systematic review of 89 studies that included over twelve thousand patients comparing hyaluronic acid injections to a sham treatment or to no intervention at all, found that hyaluronic acid supplementation to the knee produced minimal to non-existent results when it came to pain relief and function in knee arthritis patients.\r\n\r\nThat means thousands of patients in these studies received no relief at all. And if they did find relief, it was not much. Unfortunately, those that do find some pain relief with the use of hyaluronic acid, only experience results for a short period of time. And the treatment frequently becomes only a delay for the inevitable knee replacement, because all it does is lubricate a dysfunctional joint, and does not fix anything. In the end, it may delay the joint replacement, but does not help to avoid knee replacement.\r\n<h3>Are Cortisone Injections Really All That Bad for the Knee Joint?</h3>\r\nSteroids are used to provide anti-inflammatory relief in affected areas of the body. They lessen swelling, redness, itching and allergic reactions. And, in addition to their use for pain, they are also often used as part of the treatment for a number of different diseases, such as severe allergies or skin problems, asthma, or arthritis. In many of these cases, steroids are lifesaving!\r\n\r\nThe discovery that steroids could be injected into joints was received with enthusiasm, and led to widespread use. However, shortly after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into knee joints in the 1950s, reports of terrible arthropathies, or joint diseases, began to surface. There was an obvious indication that all was not well with this treatment choice. Way back then, the researchers discouraged the use of steroids being injected into the joint, due to their side effects and cell death in the bone.\r\n\r\nSteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Cortisone has a deleterious effect on soft tissue healing by inhibiting blood flow to the injured area, new blood vessel formation, protein synthesis, fibroblast proliferation and ultimately collagen formation.\r\n\r\nCortisone weakens collagen and therefore soft tissue such as ligaments and tendons, which contributes to the development of conditions such as arthritis. And, as we know, this leads to the eventual knee replacement. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n<h3>Surgical Repair</h3>\r\nElimination of knee pain by arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue just delays the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. The athlete or any knee pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or steroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual knee replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the knee strong is to stimulate the area to heal. Remember, once surgery is done, it cannot be undone!\r\n<h3>Other Non-Surgical Treatments</h3>\r\nEven though the goal of many non-surgical treatments such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, is to decrease pain and improve knee function, they are unable to repair the source of the pain, the ligament or soft tissue injury. Why is it so important to repair the ligaments and other soft tissue? Because the long-term consequence of ligament and soft tissue injuries that are left unhealed is arthritis.\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder the treatments mentioned above, including hyaluronic acid, do not last. And why they are unable to prevent the eventual knee replacement! You see, these treatments are unable to get to the root cause of the problem. The road to arthritis can only be remedied when the problem of ligament injury is addressed. None of the above treatments address this problem. But Regenerative Orthopedics does.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is An Effective Treatment to Avoid Knee Replacement</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic therapies such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP and Prolotherapy stimulate, rather than interfere with, the normal healing process. The treatments stimulate the normal inflammatory-reparative mechanisms of the body, boosting cartilage growth, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, and repairing the meniscus in a knee or the labrum in the hip or shoulder.\r\n\r\nThese regenerative treatments offer hope to those suffering from various types of knee pain and provide an effective, non-surgical option for those trying to avoid knee replacement.\r\n\r\nAs we say at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>:\r\nRegenerate First; Surgery Last!','Avoid Knee Replacement with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','2082-revision-v1','','','2020-09-11 02:23:27','2020-09-11 02:23:27','',2082,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2082-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4118,9,'2020-09-12 19:57:35','2020-09-12 19:57:35','<h3><strong>Take A Look at This Medical Journal Article About Groin Pain Resolved with Regenerative Therapy</strong></h3>\n<em>If you have groin pain after a sports injury or even after lifting or some other activity that ended in groin injury, you can find relief with regenerative therapies.

Participants were assessed through Quick DASH and VAS scores, once before injection, and then after 1- and 3-months follow-up. Two patients were excluded due to not completing the follow-up timepoints.\n\n<strong class=\"sub-title\">Results: </strong>In both groups VAS scores revealed significant improvement during the first month follow-up [mean difference (MD) = 1.9±3.3, versus 1.5±1.9 for the prolotherapy and steroid groups, respectively]. This declining trajectory continued at the third month visit in the prolotherapy group and MD reached 4.4±2.9, while it did not change remarkably in the steroid group (MD=1.9±3.4).\n\nIn fact, comparing VAS scores between the 1st- and 3rd-month time points did not reveal a significant improvement in the steroid group (<i>p</i>=0.6). Also, the Quick DASH index showed a similar pattern and improved remarkably in both groups during the first visit.\n<h4><strong>However, only the efficacy in the prolotherapy group persisted after 3-month follow-up (MD = 9.5±21.6, <i>p</i>=0.044)</strong>.</h4>\nOne month after injections no preference was observed between the two interventions (<i>p</i>=0.74 for VAS and 0.14 for Quick DASH score). However, the 3rd-month follow-up revealed a meaningful superiority (<i>p</i>=0.03 for VAS and <i>p</i>=0.01 for Quick DASH score) favoring the prolotherapy method.\n\n<strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusion: </strong>Both methods were proven to be effective in the short-term treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis, but dextrose prolotherapy seems to be slightly more efficacious than steroid injection over a longer period.<b>Clinical trial registration:</b> Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials Database: IRCT20170311033000N3.\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</header>\n<div class=\"fullwidth color_bar row-full \">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"large_thumb\">Read other articles about cortisone or corticosteroid injections:</div>\n<div>\n<h3><a title=\"Cortisone – Is it Really Good for You\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/cortisone-is-it-really-good-for-you/\">Cortisone – Is it Really Good for You</a></h3>\n<h3><a title=\"Cortisone Injections Are As Safe As You Think\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/cortisone-injections-are-as-safe-as-you-think/\">Cortisone Injections: Are They As Safe As You Think</a></h3>\n</div>\n<h3 class=\"large_thumb\">Reference:</h3>\n<div class=\"large_thumb\">Bayat M, Raeissadat SA, Mortazavian Babaki M, Rahimi-Dehgolan S.

Cortisone treatment may only result in temporary relief. And it is frequently used to delay the eventual joint replacement.\r\n\r\nBut did you know this commonly used treatment option may not be as safe as you think? Recently released evidence in the medical journal “Radiology,” describes the negative risks of using cortisone injections. <a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a>Although prior studies have been conducted showing cortisone to have a negative impact on joints, this most recent article helps to bring awareness to the adverse effects cortisone injections have on the joint.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4020\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"wp-image-4020 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/cortisone-400x500.png\" alt=\"Cortisone\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <strong>     Cortisone Injections Can Be Toxic to Cartilage</strong>[/caption]\r\n<h2>What Happens When Cortisone Is Injected Into the Joint?</h2>\r\n<em><strong>Cortisone appears to be toxic to cartilage.</strong></em> When cortisone is injected into the joint, it actually boosts the progression of the destruction of cartilage. That means it accelerates arthritis.\r\n\r\nOftentimes, cortisone is injected into joints for relief of arthritis pain and the symptoms associated with it. But doesn\'t it seem contrary then, to use a “treatment” that makes arthritis worse, in an effort to treat it? Cortisone destroys cartilage, boosts cell death in the joint, and increases bone loss.\r\n<h2>Behind the Use of Cortisone Injections</h2>\r\nArthritis is a very common disease of the joint that limits activity and quality of life. It often results in disability. In an effort to treat arthritis, physicians initially approach pain and symptom control in a non-surgical fashion, generally attempting to delay the eventual joint replacement.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, older or sicker patients may not be able to tolerate surgery, and in those cases, more conservative treatments are needed and recommended. Cortisone injections may provide some patients with days of relief. Others may get months of pain and symptom control with cortisone injections into the joint. For this reason it is a commonly performed treatment, because it does reduce the inflammation and swelling of arthritis.\r\n\r\nPhysicians have known there were risks involved in the use of cortisone injections into joints! <em><strong>Even though the study mentioned in this article is a new study, there have been many previous studies demonstrating the risks and the damage cortisone does to the joint structures.</strong></em> That is why, when your physician discusses cortisone injection with you, it is recommended that the injections not be given more than once every three months. Hopefully, the reason behind the limits is explained as well. It is important for the patient to be educated on the risks of treatment with cortisone injections.\r\n<h2>Cortisone Injections May Do More Harm than Good</h2>\r\nThe researchers in this most recent study looked at the effect of cortisone injected into knees and hips. And they found that cortisone boosted the progression of arthritis and <strong>accelerated the need for joint replacement surgery.</strong>\r\n\r\nThe researchers looked at 459 patients who received one to three cortisone injections into the hip or knee in 2018. Almost a tenth developed complications such as cartilage loss, stress fractures, bone loss, and joint destruction in the two to fifteen months following the injections. The authors note that this percentage may be an understatement because half of the participants did not receive follow-up imaging tests to assess the health of their joints.\r\n\r\n<strong>In summary, the studies are showing that cortisone injections accelerate arthritis and can be detrimental in the long-run</strong>. But even with this knowledge, cortisone injections continue to be recommended frequently for joint pain. Millions of Americans suffer from arthritis and its symptoms of pain, swelling, cartilage loss, and bone destruction. Sufferers want relief, and the injections often give relief. And they are also covered by insurance.\r\n<h3>Alternatives to Cortisone Injections</h3>\r\nGiven that cortisone injections are being given more and more to treat pain in patients with joint arthritis, what is the alternative? Especially when you consider that many arthritis sufferers are at the point where they need relief to just live day to day.\r\n\r\nThat’s where Regenerative Orthopedics comes in!  Treatments like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy work to<strong> actually repair the arthritic joint.</strong> These treatments provide pain relief. But they don’t provide relief at the expense of the joint. <em><strong>They actually heal the joint, strengthen the structures of the joints, and even boost growth of cartilage</strong></em>. Regenerative Orthopedics regenerates the joint rather than causing degeneration like what occurs with cortisone injections.\r\n\r\nThere is also minimal downtime needed to receive these regenerative treatments. That means you can continue to exercise, and move the joint, which is essential for a healthy joint. Exercise helps ease pain, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles around the joints.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is the treatment of choice to achieve the pain relief you desire, while returning function to your painful arthritic joint, and helping you to once again enjoy the activities you desire to do.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><strong>[i]</strong></a> Kompel AJ, Roemer FW, Murakami AM, Dias LE, Crema MD, Guermazi A.  Intra-articular Corticosteroid Injections in the Hip and Knee: Perhaps Not as Safe as We Thought?

Chronic sequelae may include anterior knee pain, kneeling discomfort, or sports limitation. Symptom reduction parallels resolution of patellar tendinopathy by MRI/ultrasound, although ossicles may persist radiographically.\n<h4><strong>WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:</strong></h4>\nSmall-needle injection of the patellar tendon enthesis/tibial apophysis with 12.5% dextrose was safe and well tolerated in adolescents with recalcitrant Osgood- Schlatter disease. Dextrose injection resulted in more rapid and frequent achievement of unaltered sport and asymptomatic sport than did usual care.\n<h2>Abstract</h2>\nOBJECTIVE: To examine the potential of dextrose injection versus lido- caine injection versus supervised usual care to reduce sport alteration and sport-related symptoms in adolescent athletes with Osgood- Schlatter disease.\n\nPATIENTS AND METHODS: Girls aged 9 to 15 and boys aged 10 to 17 were randomly assigned to either therapist-supervised usual care or double-blind injection of 1% lidocaine solution with or without 12.5% dextrose. Injections were administered monthly for 3 months. All sub- jects were then offered dextrose injections monthly as needed. Unal- tered sport (Nirschl Pain Phase Scale 􏰀 4) and asymptomatic sport (Nirschl Pain Phase Scale 􏰁 0) were the threshold goals.\n\nRESULTS: Sixty-five knees in 54 athletes were treated. Compared with usual care at 3 months, unaltered sport was more common in both dextrose-treated (21 of 21 vs 13 of 22; P 􏰁 .001) and lidocaine-treated (20 of 22 vs 13 of 22; P 􏰁 .034) knees, and asymptomatic sport was more frequent in dextrose-treated knees than either lidocaine-treated (14 of 21 vs 5 of 22; P 􏰁 .006) or usual-care–treated (14 of 21 vs 3 of 22; P 􏰀 .001) knees. At 1 year, asymptomatic sport was more common in dextrose-treated knees than knees treated with only lidocaine (32 of 38 vs6of13;P􏰁.024)oronlyusualcare(32of38vs2of14;P􏰀.0001).\n\nCONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest superior symptom-reduction effi- cacy of injection therapy over usual care in the treatment of Osgood- Schlatter disease in adolescents. A significant component of the effect seems to be associated with the dextrose component of a dextrose/ lidocaine solution. Dextrose injection over the apophysis and patellar tendon origin was safe and well tolerated and resulted in more rapid and frequent achievement of unaltered sport and asymptomatic sport than usual care.

One single-arm study and five randomized controlled trials were included, comprising 326 participants. We estimated the effect sizes of pain reduction before and after serial dextrose injections and compared the values between dextrose prolotherapy, comparative regimens, and exercise 6 months after the initial injection.</p>\n\n</div>\n<div id=\"__sec3\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"__sec3title\">Results</h3>\n<p id=\"__p3\" class=\"p p-first-last\">Regarding the treatment arm using dextrose prolotherapy, the effect sizes compared with baseline were 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14–1.17), 0.84 (95% CI, 0.40–1.27), 0.85 (95% CI, 0.60–1.10), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.53–1.21) after the first, second, third, and fourth or more injections, respectively. The overall effect of dextrose was better than control injections (effect size, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.10–0.63).</p>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">Dextrose prolotherapy had a superior effect compared with local anesthesia (effect size, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.07–0.70) and exercise (effect size, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.30–1.11).

We estimated the effect sizes of pain reduction before and after serial dextrose injections and compared the values between dextrose prolotherapy, comparative regimens, and exercise 6 months after the initial injection.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"__sec3\" class=\"sec\">\r\n<h3 id=\"__sec3title\">Results</h3>\r\n<p id=\"__p3\" class=\"p p-first-last\">Regarding the treatment arm using dextrose prolotherapy, the effect sizes compared with baseline were 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14–1.17), 0.84 (95% CI, 0.40–1.27), 0.85 (95% CI, 0.60–1.10), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.53–1.21) after the first, second, third, and fourth or more injections, respectively. The overall effect of dextrose was better than control injections (effect size, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.10–0.63).</p>\r\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">Dextrose prolotherapy had a superior effect compared with local anesthesia (effect size, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.07–0.70) and exercise (effect size, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.30–1.11). There was an insignificant advantage of dextrose over corticosteroids (effect size, 0.31; 95% CI, –0.18 to 0.80) which was only estimated from one study.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"__sec4\" class=\"sec sec-last\">\r\n<h3 id=\"__sec4title\">Conclusion</h3>\r\n<p id=\"__p4\" class=\"p p-first-last\">Dextrose injections decreased pain in osteoarthritis patients but did not exhibit a positive dose–response relationship following serial injections.

Increased connectivity can occur by simply walking. And if you exercise more vigorously, like running, faster reaction times and improved learning will result. Physical activity has been linked to a lower risk of the development of cognitive decline, because it is, in essence, a fertilizer for the brain, nourishing it and improving attention, memory and information processing.

Fields is also known as <strong> The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup>.</strong>\r\nHe not only treats athletes in his practice but is an athlete himself.\r\n<h5>How Doctor Fields Became <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></strong></h5>\r\nFor over twenty years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon which has lead to he became known as <strong>The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></strong>. In November 2019, he completed his ninth Ironman Triathlon. An Ironman Triathlon is a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike, and a 26.2-mile run. Dr. Fields has competed in over 60 other Triathlons in his career, including eight half (70.3) Ironman competitions as well as numerous Olympic distance ones. He says that even with all the years of training and racing, he still enjoys the challenges of it all.\r\n\r\nWith a busy practice, Dr. Fields still makes time to work out. During the triathlon season, he can be found swimming, biking or running six to seven days a week in addition to a regime of active stretching twice a day.

And milk-drinking is touted for building strong bones in children and preventing osteoporosis in older persons. However, clinical research shows that dairy products have little or no benefit for bones. A 2005 review published in Pediatrics showed that milk consumption does not improve bone integrity in children.<sup>1</sup> Similarly, the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study,<sup>2</sup> which followed more than 72,000 women for 18 years, showed no protective effect of increased milk consumption on fracture risk. While calcium is important for bone health, studies show that increasing consumption beyond approximately 600 mg per day—amounts that are easily achieved without dairy products or calcium supplements—does not improve bone integrity.<sup>2</sup>\n\nIn studies of children and adults, exercise has been found to have a major effect on bone density.<sup>3-5</sup> You can decrease your risk of osteoporosis by reducing sodium and animal protein intake in the diet,<sup>6-9</sup> increasing intake of fruits and vegetables,<sup>9,10</sup> exercising,<sup>4,11</sup> and ensuring adequate calcium intake from plant foods such as kale, broccoli, and other leafy green vegetables and beans. You can also use calcium-fortified products such as breakfast cereals and juices, although these products provide more concentrated calcium than is necessary.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Fat Content and Cardiovascular Disease</strong>\nDairy products—including cheese, ice cream, milk, butter, and yogurt—contribute significant amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat to the diet.<sup>12</sup> Diets high in fat and saturated fat can increase the risk of heart disease, among other serious health problems. A low-fat vegetarian diet that eliminates dairy products, in combination with exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management, can not only prevent heart disease, but may also reverse it.<sup>13,14</sup> Non-fat dairy products are available; however, they pose other health risks as noted below.\n\n<strong>Cancer</strong>\nProstate and breast cancers have been linked to consumption of dairy products, presumably related to increases in a compound called insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I).<sup>15</sup> IGF-I is found in cow’s milk and has been shown to occur in increased levels in the blood of individuals consuming dairy products on a regular basis.<sup>16</sup> Other nutrients that increase IGF-I are also found in cow’s milk.\n\nCase-control studies in diverse populations have shown a strong and consistent association between serum IGF-I concentrations and prostate cancer risk.<sup>17</sup> One study showed that men who had the highest levels of IGF-I had more than four times the risk of prostate cancer compared with those who had the lowest levels.<sup>18</sup> Other findings show that prostate cancer risk was elevated with increased consumption of low-fat milk, suggesting that too much dairy calcium could be a potential threat to prostate health.<sup>19,20</sup>\n\nOvarian cancer may also be related to the consumption of dairy products. The milk sugar lactose is broken down in the body into another sugar, galactose. Research suggests that the dairy sugar galactose might be toxic to ovarian cells.<sup>21</sup> In a study conducted in Sweden, consumption of lactose and dairy products was positively linked to ovarian cancer.<sup>22</sup> A similar study, the Iowa Women’s Health Study, found that women who consumed more than one glass of milk per day had a 73 percent greater chance of ovarian cancer than women who drank less than one glass per day.<sup>23</sup>\n\n<strong>Lactose Intolerance</strong>\nLactose intolerance is common among many populations, affecting approximately 95 percent of Asian Americans, 74 percent of Native Americans, 70 percent of African Americans, 53 percent of Mexican Americans, and 15 percent of Caucasians.<sup>24</sup> Symptoms, which include gastrointestinal distress, diarrhea, and flatulence, occur because these individuals do not have the enzyme lactase that digests the milk sugar lactose. For those who can digest lactose, its breakdown products are two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. Nursing children have active enzymes that break down galactose. As we age, many of us lose much of this capacity.<sup>25</sup> Additionally, along with unwanted symptoms, milk-drinkers also put themselves at risk for development of other chronic diseases and ailments.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Vitamin D</strong>\nIndividuals often drink milk in order to obtain vitamin D in their diet, unaware that they can receive vitamin D through other sources. The natural source of vitamin D is sunlight. Five to fifteen minutes of sun exposure to the arms and legs or the hands, face, and arms can be enough to meet the body’s requirements for vitamin D, depending on the individual’s skin tone.<sup>26</sup> Darker skin requires longer exposure to the sun in order to obtain adequate levels of vitamin D. In colder climates during the winter months the sun may not be able to provide adequate vitamin D. During this time the diet must be able to provide vitamin D. Fortified cereals, grains, bread, orange juice, and soy- or rice milk are healthful foods that provide vitamin D. All common multiple vitamins also provide vitamin D.\n\n<strong>Contaminants</strong>\nMilk contains contaminants that range from pesticides to drugs. Milk naturally contains hormones and growth factors produced within a cow’s body. In addition, synthetic hormones such as recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) are commonly used in dairy cows to increase the production of milk.<sup>27</sup> Because treated cows are producing quantities of milk nature never intended, the end result can be mastitis, or inflammation of the mammary glands. Treatment of this condition requires the use of antibiotics, and antibiotic traces have occasionally been found in samples of milk and other dairy products. Pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dioxins are other examples of contaminants found in milk. These toxins do not readily leave the body and can eventually build to harmful levels that may affect the immune and reproductive systems. The central nervous system can also be affected. Moreover, PCBs and dioxins have also been linked to cancer.<sup>28</sup>\n\n<strong>Milk Proteins and Diabetes</strong>\nInsulin-dependent (type 1 or childhood-onset) diabetes is linked to consumption of dairy products.<sup>29</sup> A 2001 Finnish study of 3,000 infants with genetically increased risk for developing diabetes showed that early introduction of cow’s milk increased susceptibility to type 1 diabetes.<sup>30</sup>\n\n<strong>Health Concerns of Infants and Children</strong>\nMilk proteins, milk sugar, fat, and saturated fat in dairy products pose health risks for children and encourage the development of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.\n\nThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants below one year of age not be given whole cow’s milk,<sup>31</sup> as iron deficiency is more likely on a dairy-rich diet. Cow’s milk products are very low in iron.<sup>32</sup> If dairy products become a major part of one’s diet, iron deficiency is more likely. Colic is an additional concern with milk consumption. Up to 28 percent of infants suffer from colic during the first month of life.<sup>33</sup> Pediatricians learned long ago that cow’s milk was often the reason. We now know that breastfeeding mothers can have colicky babies if the mothers consume cow’s milk. The cow’s antibodies can pass through the mother’s bloodstream, into her breast milk, and to the baby.<sup>34,35</sup> Additionally, food allergies appear to be common results of cow’s milk consumption, particularly in children.<sup>36,37</sup> Cow’s milk consumption has also been linked to chronic constipation in children. Researchers suggested that milk consumption resulted in perianal sores and severe pain on defecation, leading to constipation.<sup>38</sup>\n\nMilk and dairy products are not necessary in the diet and can, in fact, be harmful to health. It is best to consume a healthful diet of grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fortified foods including cereals and juices. These nutrient-dense foods can help you meet your calcium, potassium, riboflavin, and vitamin D requirements with ease—and without health risks.\n\n<strong>References on request</strong>\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n</div>\n</div>','Health Concerns about Dairy Products','','inherit','closed','closed','','1482-autosave-v1','','','2020-09-24 21:04:39','2020-09-24 21:04:39','',1482,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1482-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4163,9,'2020-09-26 03:09:59','2020-09-26 03:09:59','<h2><strong>.Dry Needling of Tendons Is NOT a Placebo</strong></h2>\n[caption id=\"attachment_4166\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"402\"]<img class=\"wp-image-4166\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Prolo-definition-500x376.png\" alt=\"Prolotherapy Definition\" width=\"402\" height=\"302\" /> <strong><i>Encourage even more tendon healing than dry needling with Prolotherapy!</i></strong>[/caption]\n\nDry needling of tendons is not a placebo, but is a treatment in and of itself.\n\nWe have a couple of takeaways in this article:\n<ol>\n 	<li>Since dry needling is not a placebo, then when researchers do studies that compare such treatments as PRP to dry needling.

And let\'s face it, most of us spend a lot of time on our feet. Every time we take a step, we put half of our body weight on our feet. Add running and jumping place into the mix, and you have even more stress placed on them. So, it doesn\'t come as any surprise then, that a bunch of Americans would end up with foot pain.\n\nPoorly fitting shoes can add to the pain too. And some foot shapes and conditions like flat foot can add to the problem too. Also, forefoot or toe problems, like hammer toe and bunions are conditions that can cause foot pain.\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n\nOftentimes, an underlying problem of ligament or tendon injury or weakness is at the core and is the pain causing culprit.\n<h3>What Helps Foot Pain Besides Surgery?</h3>\n<h3><em>Regenerative Orthopedics like Prolotherapy, PRP, and Stem Cell Therapy Can!</em></h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n\nRegenerative therapies, like <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy,</a> are becoming more and more widespread as a form of non-surgical pain management. And they are very often used in relieving pain associated with tendon and ligament injuries in the joints. But how effective is it?\n<h3>How Effective Is Prolotherapy and What Does the Research Show?</h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n\nStudies have shown that Prolotherapy boosts the production of new collagen.1 And they have also shown that Prolotherapy improves ligament and tendon diameter and strength.2 Therefore, Prolotherapy doesn\'t just take some pain away. It can actually repair the tendon or ligament. And that is great news. Very often then, in tendon and ligament injury, the person can avoid surgery by choosing this therapy instead.

Fields, MD, DC</strong>\r\n\r\nMy dad passed away just shy of his 85th birthday in 2004. Although he never even knew about COVID-19, I learned a lot from him to help survive this current horrible situation.\r\n\r\nHe was a man that believed actions speak louder than words. And it was his actions in his life that have helped me through tough times in my own life, and his example applies especially today. To me, he was not only my dad but my best friend and my mentor. He taught me so much.\r\n\r\nMy dad was raised in a middle-class Jewish family in Berlin, Germany, which was then a very modern and beautiful city. Life for him was pretty good, even though his parents were divorced, which was not the norm back then. He was raised by his mother and grandmother and he had a happy childhood.\r\n\r\nIn 1934, his life would change forever. At first, new laws were put in place that prohibited Jews from attending public school. Then, in 1935, Jews had their citizenship taken away. Life as he knew it was changing and things were not good.\r\n\r\nAfter that, he applied for a program where he could be sent to the United States to live with a family, since things were getting worse for Jewish people, and especially young men, in Germany. My dad was so excited when he was accepted into the program. He had a farewell party and said goodbye to his friends and relatives as he prepared for what was ahead.\r\n\r\nA few days before he was to leave, the monies for this program were delayed through the banks and they were going to have to wait a while. Eventually, when the program started up again, his 16th birthday had already passed and he was now too old for the program. For a 16-year-old, this was devastating. But he realized he could not do anything about it and knew he had to just keep looking forwards.\r\n\r\nThen on November 11th, 1938 Kristallnacht or the Night of the Broken Glass occurred. My dad\'s mother had been forewarned that something was about to happen, so a bunch of boys (including my father) left town for the night. Upon returning to Berlin, they saw the devastation and ruins that had been wrought upon the Jewish businesses.\r\n\r\nHe knew he had to get out. The noose was getting tighter. He did not know what was about to take place in the future, but he knew that Germany would eventually go to war with Russia. He also knew that as a 19-year-old Jewish boy, he would be the first to go.\r\n\r\nThere was only one place in the world he could go without his citizenship papers (they were taken away back in 1935), and that was Shanghai, China. All other countries had closed their doors, including the United States. But 8,000 miles was very far away, and although China was not really what he wanted, he had no other choice. He had to keep looking forwards to a better future.\r\n\r\nMy dad\'s mother said she would follow. So, at 19 years of age, off he went to a very strange and foreign land. From the modern country that had given the world Mozart, Beethoven, Einstein, and others, he now found himself in a city that lacked central heat (in the winter it was below freezing), had no central plumbing, and required one to relieve themselves in a bucket. He was happy that he at least still received letters from his mother.\r\n\r\nHe did what he could to survive, he kept moving forward, and looked to the future for better days.\r\n\r\nIn 1941, on December 7th, the United States entered the war. At that point, the Japanese took control of the city and made all the Jewish people live in a ghetto-like situation. There was no time for self-pity, he kept moving forward, just like he had all the other times.\r\n\r\nThe fateful day for him came in 1942 when he received what was to be the last letter from his mother. It started off with the very tragic line:\r\n<h4><em>“By the time you receive this, I will no longer exist.\"</em></h4>\r\nThese words struck like a lead pipe over his head.\r\n\r\nMy dad\'s mother had seen things collapse in Germany and she knew her days were numbered. She had been in hiding and figured she would be caught sooner or later. Unfortunately, she was right.\r\n\r\nHe could have just given up at that point. Not only was his mom murdered, but he also had lost generations of his family, which left him without 90% of his family and most likely most of his friends. Plus, he was living in squalor in a foreign city 8,000 miles away from his own country. Devastated would be too light of a word to describe how he felt.\r\n\r\nBut he knew that you cannot look back. He understood what was needed was to keep looking forward and always hope for brighter days in the future.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-3679\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Look-Forward-2-500x500.png\" alt=\"Look Forward\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n<h4>And so, he went on. He persevered for the rest of the war in Shanghai.</h4>\r\nTwo years after the war ended, in 1947, he finally received papers to enter the United States, which had always been a dream of his since his youth. Penniless, extremely thin, and without any family left, he had no idea of where he was supposed to go, or what he was supposed to do. But he just kept moving forward, taking one day at a time, and looking for the best the world could offer.\r\n\r\nThe rest is history. He met my mom, started a successful business, raised myself, my brother, and my sister, and had a wonderful life.\r\n\r\nMy dad’s life could be an example for all of us during COVID-19 and might encourage us to keep moving forwards and to not look back no matter how bad things are. Always hope for a wonderful future, strive to do the best you can, take care of yourself, look out for others, and always keep a cheerful smile on your face.\r\n\r\nThat was my father. Always looking forwards with a smile and gratitude, no matter how bad things got. If you met him you would never guess the hardships that he went thru.\r\n\r\nIn no way am I comparing our situation now to what my dad went thru, but hopefully this story and his words and actions will help you during these very difficult times.\r\n\r\nSo please be safe, be cautious, but keep looking forwards no matter how bad things get.\r\n\r\nThere is a bright future out there for all of us.\r\n\r\n~Peter A.

He met my mom, started a successful business, raised myself, my brother, and my sister, and had a wonderful life.\r\n\r\nMy dad’s life could be an example for all of us during COVID-19 and might encourage us to keep moving forwards and to not look back no matter how bad things are. Always hope for a wonderful future, strive to do the best you can, take care of yourself, look out for others, and always keep a cheerful smile on your face.\r\n\r\nThat was my father. Always looking forwards with a smile and gratitude, no matter how bad things got. If you met him you would never guess the hardships that he went thru.\r\n\r\nIn no way am I comparing our situation now to what my dad went thru, but hopefully this story and his words and actions will help you during these very difficult times.\r\n\r\nSo please be safe, be cautious, but keep looking forwards no matter how bad things get.\r\n\r\nThere is a bright future out there for all of us.\r\n\r\n~Peter A.

It is more than not being sick. Rather than focusing on illness or specific parts of the body, this approach to health considers the whole person. The goal is to achieve maximum well-being, where everything is functioning at the best possible level. Often referred to as personalized or individualized medicine, healthcare based on the integrated/holistic model is considered by most practitioners today to be the future of medicine.\r\n\r\nIt couples current scientific advances with the best that alternative medicine has to offer. It expands our ability to preserve health, increase longevity and speed recovery. It does not end when you leave the office. As a lifestyle, it includes a personal commitment to move toward the right end of the wellness continuum. No matter what their current status of health, people can improve their level of well-being. Even when there are temporary setbacks, movement is always headed toward wellness.\r\n\r\nAn integrative/holistic approach to healing goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. For example, taking an aspirin for a headache would be like disconnecting the oil light on the dash of a car when it flashes. The irritation is eliminated, but the real problem still exists. In holistic/integrative medicine, a symptom is considered a message that something needs attention. So, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Then what really needs attention can be addressed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Contact_us2.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n\r\nHolistic Medicine utilizes the most effective, safest and least expensive treatments to help individual patients achieve the best health possible. It appreciates the value of good scientific information, but it is not confined to evidence-based medicine, which strives to limit variables and identify which treatments are helpful for the majority of patients. Holistic/Integrative Medicine recognizes that patients can be very complex individuals, who might benefit from a variety of treatments, not all of which are \"proven\" effective by expensive randomized clinical trials. Holistic/Integrative Medicine puts a premium on treatments that are very low risk and affordable to most people. It tends to choose natural remedies, as opposed to drugs and surgery. It emphasizes mind-body connections, balance, homeostasis, and restoring normal function. It tries to achieve confidence and peacefulness in a medical world that too often creates fear and anxiety.\r\n\r\nHolistic Medicine supports reaching higher levels of wellness as well as preventing illness. People enjoy the vitality and well-being that results from their positive lifestyle changes, and are motivated to continue this process throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nPacific Prolotherapy and Wellness Center focuses on disease prevention.

When hormones are in balance, studies show that your body operates at its healthiest and most efficient level. </strong>Unfortunately, the levels of the hormones your body needs to function optimally decreases as you age. And with the stresses of life, whether physical, mental or emotional, our hormone systems have added demands.<strong> Although originally thought of for women during the menopausal years, hormone deficiency can affect women and men at any age. More recent therapies promise anti-aging effects and possible deferral of the diseases of aging.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Some things that can be affected by a hormone deficiency are:</strong> hot flashes; memory loss; fatigue; muscle strength; libido; insomnia, effects of aging; irritability; mood; hair loss, immune function, stress; healing after a sprain, strain or injury; muscle aches; vaginal dryness; dry skin; bone density; insomnia; blood pressure; blood sugar levels; constipation and more.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Contact_us2.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>At Pacific Prolotherapy and Medical Wellness Center we use Bio-Identical Hormones</strong> to supplement what is out of balance in your body. <strong>Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses supplemental doses of hormones with a chemical structure identical to endogenous human hormones (hormones naturally produced in the human body).</strong> BHRT differs from conventional hormone replacement therapy which by definition uses animal or synthetic hormones whose structures differ from those produced in the human body. Conventional hormone replacement therapy also uses patented medicines that come in standard sizes. This is generally a one-size-fits-all dosage regime.\r\n\r\n<strong>In an individualized approach like the one at Pacific Prolotherapy and Medical Wellness Center</strong>,\r\nwe begin by evaluating your need for hormone replacement therapy with a thorough history followed up by comprehensive testing. Once we determine where hormonal deficiencies exist, patients are prescribed precise dosages of bio-identical hormones based upon their specific and particular needs. <strong>This hormone replacement therapy plan is aimed at helping you look and feel your best.</strong> Our hormones are made up especially for our practice at a holistic (compounding) pharmacy. Our goal is to get the desired results with the lowest possible dosages.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/self_test.pdf\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fields-hormone-level-quiz.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Once hormone replacement therapy helps bring your levels back to optimal concentration, it may help you feel more energized, achieve a leaner, stronger physique, stabilize blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increase bone strength, boost memory, improve skin tone and more.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>So what are you waiting for?

In <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">dextrose prolotherapy</a>, a solution is injected that is created from organic substances, while PRP prolotherapy uses platelets from the patient\'s own body. While more expensive and time-consuming, PRP has worked well in some cases in which dextrose prolotherapy proved ineffective.\r\n\r\nPRP prolotherapy has been shown to be highly effective at stimulating tissue repair and regenerating weak muscles, joints and other body components. When injected into an injury or pain site, prolotherapy fluids often have remarkable outcomes in terms of patient recovery times and lack of side effects.\r\n\r\nPRP treatment specifically focuses on giving patients doses of their own platelets, derived from drawn blood. Blood contains a certain number of platelets per fluid unit. By concentrating those platelets and reinjecting them into the body, not only can tissues heal remarkably quickly but the patient is not exposed to drugs or other foreign substances that can cause reactions.\r\n<h4>PRP vs. Surgery and Other Methods</h4>\r\nWhile there are many methods, including surgery, for treating injury or pain, PRP has some distinct advantages, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Less pain and shorter recovery time when compared to surgery or other invasive methods</li>\r\n 	<li>No addictive drugs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Short recovery time</li>\r\n 	<li>Quicker healing time</li>\r\n 	<li>No long-term treatment outlook</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPRP prolotherapy is more expensive than other forms of prolotherapy, so the professionals at OrthoRegen may try other methods before recommending this particular treatment option.\r\n<h4>What Conditions Can Be Treated With PRP and Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, my Los Angeles PRP and Prolotherapy clinic, we use injections to treat a variety of disorders and chronic or acute pain conditions. These conditions include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>ACL</li>\r\n 	<li>Tears</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bulging discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Fibromyalgia</li>\r\n 	<li>Bone on Bone conditions</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip replacement</li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">Knee injury</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Knee replacement</li>\r\n 	<li>Lumbar or cervical spine instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Tendinitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff injuries</li>\r\n 	<li>Sciatica</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nLos Angeles PRP Doctor\r\n\r\nPeter A.

In <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">dextrose prolotherapy</a>, a solution is injected that is created from organic substances, while PRP prolotherapy uses platelets from the patient\'s own body. While more expensive and time-consuming, PRP has worked well in some cases in which dextrose prolotherapy proved ineffective.\n\nPRP prolotherapy has been shown to be highly effective at stimulating tissue repair and regenerating weak muscles, joints and other body components. When injected into an injury or pain site, prolotherapy fluids often have remarkable outcomes in terms of patient recovery times and lack of side effects.\n\nPRP treatment specifically focuses on giving patients doses of their own platelets, derived from drawn blood. Blood contains a certain number of platelets per fluid unit. By concentrating those platelets and reinjecting them into the body, not only can tissues heal remarkably quickly but the patient is not exposed to drugs or other foreign substances that can cause reactions.\n<h4>PRP vs. Surgery and Other Methods</h4>\nWhile there are many methods, including surgery, for treating injury or pain, PRP has some distinct advantages, including:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Less pain and shorter recovery time when compared to surgery or other invasive methods</li>\n 	<li>No addictive drugs.</li>\n 	<li>Short recovery time</li>\n 	<li>Quicker healing time</li>\n 	<li>No long-term treatment outlook</li>\n</ul>\nPRP prolotherapy is more expensive than other forms of prolotherapy, so the professionals at OrthoRegen may try other methods before recommending this particular treatment option.\n<h4>What Conditions Can Be Treated With PRP and Prolotherapy?</h4>\nAt OrthoRegen, my Los Angeles PRP and Prolotherapy clinic, we use injections to treat a variety of disorders and chronic or acute pain conditions.

But unfortunately, almost any type of sports activity can result in injuries to joints, ligaments and tendons.

It may also be called \"regenerative injection therapy\" or \"proliferative injection therapy.\" Prolotherapy treatments consist of a series of injections that are designed to produce a gentle inflammation in injured tissue in order to spur the body\'s natural healing mechanisms to take over.\n\nWhen the body suffers an injury, it responds by producing growth factors. But the process that leads up to this production and how these growth factors help the body heal are topics that are extremely complicated. However, researchers have observed one fact that is very easy to understand. They say areas with high levels of blood flow and many blood vessels are far more receptive to healing than those areas without high levels of blood flow. And this means that ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which all have poor blood supplies, may not heal as quickly as other areas of the body.\n\nBut unfortunately, some of the drugs used to treat pain and swelling may also interfere with proper healing. Medications like NSAIDS may cause patients to heal more slowly or suffer complications from drug therapies. Ironically, the very nature of NSAIDS and what they do—reduce swelling and inflammation—may be the reason they interfere with natural healing. When the body suffers inflammation, it is a signal to produce the factors that will heal the wounded area.\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Work?</h4>\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a>, on the other hand, works with the body\'s natural processes to provide permanent healing. Prolotherapy basically tricks the body into healing itself! By injecting mildly irritating substances into the body, Prolotherapy treatments trigger a natural healing response. Prolotherapy can also include painkillers such as lidocaine to ease discomfort and soothe any sensations of irritation or swelling.\n<h4>Does Prolotherapy Work?</h4>\nDextrose Prolotherapy has been studied for many years and has been shown not only to help heal various injuries but in conjunction with PRP Prolotherapy and/or <a href=\"/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell</a> (Cellular Regeneration) triggers growth of new cartilage. This outcome has tremendous possibilities for patients with serious injuries or degenerative diseases.

Patients who are facing a knee replacement or who have suffered with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">shoulder</a> or hip pain for many months or years may be able to heal without the necessity of going \"under the knife.\"\n<h4>What Conditions Can Be Treated With Prolotherapy?</h4>\nAt OrthoRegen, my Los Angeles Prolotherapy clinic, we use injections to treat a variety of disorders and chronic or acute pain conditions.

George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall began research on how the body is able to heal itself with the proper support and treatment. Modern medicine has not been successful in treating many types of tendon and ligament damage and pain, so the surge in popularity of alternative treatments such as Prolotherapy is understandable.\n\nProlotherapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect for many patients. And it helps them <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/joint-surgery-think-again-learn-about-prolotherapy/\">avoid surgery</a> which should be a last resort to treat painful damaged joints and tendons. Just a few Prolotherapy treatments may restore joint function and ease pain permanently.\n<h4>What Can I Expect From Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\nBefore you can be treated using <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/ \">Prolotherapy</a>, you will be examined by Dr. Peter A. Fields, MD,DC. He is the premier Los Angeles Prolotherapy Doctor and an internationally renowned expert in the field of regenerative medicine. It is very important to take Prolotherapy treatments in a controlled environment to ensure the procedure is administered correctly. Dr. Fields will perform some simple manual tests to assess your condition. And he will also review any X-rays or MRI’s you may have received and determine the best site for Prolotherapy injections.\n\nProlotherapy treatments begin with a simple injection to the site of joint damage. It is important for the injections to be given at the right spot, such as where the tendon connects to the bone, in order to receive maximum benefit. The injections are relatively painless and take only a few minutes.\n\nYou are then sent home to rest. And you will gradually begin working your damaged joint according to an agreed therapy schedule. It is important to follow the instructions given by Dr. Fields. You may be required to take follow-up injections, depending on the efficacy of the initial treatment. These injections will be spaced over a period of time to give your body the best chance to heal.\n\nOnce your Prolotherapy injection regimen is complete, you should enjoy the kind of change for the better in joint mobility and pain level that many patients of Dr. Fields have experienced. Your medical caregivers will continue to monitor you for some time to ensure that your Prolotherapy treatments are a success.\n<h4>Los Angeles Prolotherapy</h4>\nPeter A.

But unfortunately, almost any type of sports activity can result in injuries to joints, ligaments and tendons. And these activities can lead to damage and injuries, which is why so many active people become patients of Los Angeles Prolotherapy Doctor Peter A. Fields, MD,DC.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> are effective ways to treat tendon, ligament and musculoskeletal damage or pain naturally and without invasive surgery or addictive drugs. OrthoRegen and Peter A. Fields MD, DC, \"<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/the-athletic-doc/about-the-athletic-doc/\">The Athletic Doc®</a>,\" have made it possible to find quality treatment utilizing Prolotherapy in Los Angeles.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>What Is Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> is a shortened name for \"proliferation therapy.\" And it is named for the idea that this technique helps the body heal itself. It may also be called \"regenerative injection therapy\" or \"proliferative injection therapy.\" Prolotherapy treatments consist of a series of injections that are designed to produce a gentle inflammation in injured tissue in order to spur the body\'s natural healing mechanisms to take over.\r\n\r\nWhen the body suffers an injury, it responds by producing growth factors. But the process that leads up to this production and how these growth factors help the body heal are topics that are extremely complicated. However, researchers have observed one fact that is very easy to understand. They say areas with high levels of blood flow and many blood vessels are far more receptive to healing than those areas without high levels of blood flow. And this means that ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which all have poor blood supplies, may not heal as quickly as other areas of the body.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, some of the drugs used to treat pain and swelling may also interfere with proper healing. Medications like NSAIDS may cause patients to heal more slowly or suffer complications from drug therapies. Ironically, the very nature of NSAIDS and what they do—reduce swelling and inflammation—may be the reason they interfere with natural healing. When the body suffers inflammation, it is a signal to produce the factors that will heal the wounded area.\r\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Work?</h4>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a>, on the other hand, works with the body\'s natural processes to provide permanent healing. Prolotherapy basically tricks the body into healing itself! By injecting mildly irritating substances into the body, Prolotherapy treatments trigger a natural healing response. Prolotherapy can also include painkillers such as lidocaine to ease discomfort and soothe any sensations of irritation or swelling.\r\n<h4>Does Prolotherapy Work?</h4>\r\nDextrose Prolotherapy has been studied for many years and has been shown not only to help heal various injuries but in conjunction with PRP Prolotherapy and/or <a href=\"/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell</a> (Cellular Regeneration) triggers growth of new cartilage. This outcome has tremendous possibilities for patients with serious injuries or degenerative diseases. While more research is needed to explore all of Prolotherapy\'s possibilities, the future looks bright for Prolotherapy patients.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest advantages of Prolotherapy is that it helps patients <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/how-prolotherapy-can-eliminate-joint-pain-without-surgery/\">avoid joint surgery</a>. Patients who are facing a knee replacement or who have suffered with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">shoulder</a> or hip pain for many months or years may be able to heal without the necessity of going \"under the knife.\"\r\n<h4>What Conditions Can Be Treated With Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, my Los Angeles Prolotherapy clinic, we use injections to treat a variety of disorders and chronic or acute pain conditions. These conditions include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>ACL</li>\r\n 	<li>Tears</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bulging discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Fibromyalgia</li>\r\n 	<li>Bone on Bone conditions</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip replacement</li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">Knee injury</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Knee replacement</li>\r\n 	<li>Lumbar or cervical spine instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Tendinitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff injuries</li>\r\n 	<li>Sciatica</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>How Did Prolotherapy Begin?</h4>\r\nProlotherapy is based on principles from ancient Greek medicine , but did not become accepted by the modern medical community until the 1950s when Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall began research on how the body is able to heal itself with the proper support and treatment. Modern medicine has not been successful in treating many types of tendon and ligament damage and pain, so the surge in popularity of alternative treatments such as Prolotherapy is understandable.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect for many patients. And it helps them <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/joint-surgery-think-again-learn-about-prolotherapy/\">avoid surgery</a> which should be a last resort to treat painful damaged joints and tendons. Just a few Prolotherapy treatments may restore joint function and ease pain permanently.\r\n<h4>What Can I Expect From Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\nBefore you can be treated using <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/ \">Prolotherapy</a>, you will be examined by Dr. Peter A. Fields, MD,DC. He is the premier Los Angeles Prolotherapy Doctor and an internationally renowned expert in the field of regenerative medicine. It is very important to take Prolotherapy treatments in a controlled environment to ensure the procedure is administered correctly. Dr. Fields will perform some simple manual tests to assess your condition. And he will also review any X-rays or MRI’s you may have received and determine the best site for Prolotherapy injections.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy treatments begin with a simple injection to the site of joint damage. It is important for the injections to be given at the right spot, such as where the tendon connects to the bone, in order to receive maximum benefit. The injections are relatively painless and take only a few minutes.\r\n\r\nYou are then sent home to rest. And you will gradually begin working your damaged joint according to an agreed therapy schedule. It is important to follow the instructions given by Dr. Fields. You may be required to take follow-up injections, depending on the efficacy of the initial treatment. These injections will be spaced over a period of time to give your body the best chance to heal.\r\n\r\nOnce your Prolotherapy injection regimen is complete, you should enjoy the kind of change for the better in joint mobility and pain level that many patients of Dr. Fields have experienced. Your medical caregivers will continue to monitor you for some time to ensure that your Prolotherapy treatments are a success.\r\n<h4>Los Angeles Prolotherapy</h4>\r\nPeter A.

These injuries can happen in sports, at work, and even at home. The majority involve a ligament injury. Annular ligament injuries from repetitive motion, like constant computer usage, is often the culprit. Other ligaments can be the pain-causing culprit too. And so can tendons.\r\n<h3>How Are the Injuries Treated?</h3>\r\nConventional treatment often involves icing, NSAIDS, or even surgery. But icing and NSAIDS both inhibit healing. And many of us prefer avoiding surgery. Right? Remember...once surgery is done, it cannot be undone. And it\'s better to not get into that predicament if it can be avoided.\r\n\r\nThe great news is that Prolotherapy, a <strong>non-surgical</strong> regenerative treatment option works great at healing both ligament and tendon injuries.\r\n\r\nAnd Regenerative Orthopedics for elbow pain is regenerative. What does that mean? Treatments like <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> <strong>regenerate</strong> collagen tissue which means the treatment repairs the injury. And it does it naturally.

The iliotibial band runs along the outside of the thigh, from the pelvis to the shinbone. The band crosses both the hip and the knee and is a structure that helps the knee to bend and straighten smoothly and in a stable fashion.  The injury occurs most often because of overuse, as the band gets irritated from repeatedly crossing over the femoral epicondyle, a bony prominence on the thighbone, every time the knee bends and straightens. Those with this condition will notice pain at the outside of the knee, especially when their heel strikes the ground while running.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>More About the Iliotibial Band</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iliotibial (IT) band is a dense band of tissue beginning at the iliac crest of the pelvis extending over the hip joint running down the outside part of the thigh, crossing over the outside of the knee and attaching to the shinbone. The iliotibial (IT) band forms from something called the tensor fascia lata and two of the gluteal muscles in the buttock and then it stretches across the knee. Along with ligaments and other joint structures, the iliotibial (IT) band plays a role in providing stability to both the knee and hip. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band works to help abduct the leg, especially during walking, and it keeps the legs from crossing while walking. The IT band helps stabilize the outside part of the knee through its range of motion. The band moves back and forth when the knee is in motion. While the knee is bent, the iliotibial band is located behind the femoral epicondyle near the knee joint. The band moves forward across the epicondyle when the knee is straightened. With iliotibial band syndrome, the band becomes irritated, and pain is experienced on the outer aspect of the knee</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>What is Behind Iliotibial Band Syndrome?</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although iliotibial band syndrome has generally been recognized as an injury caused by the friction that occurs as the band rubs back and forth over the bony epicondyle, recent studies have challenged this concept. When the knee is bent, the iliotibial band is also compressed against the thigh bone, as it braces the knee when stress is placed on it. In instances when the knee is turned or rotated too much, the band can be injured as well. Therefore, another theory is that the injury occurs when the band is compressed at the epicondyle, causing irritation and inflammation there. Additionally, researchers suggest there is a fat pad full of nerves that are compressed between the iliotibial band and the epicondyle as the IT band is pulled towards the epicondyle. </span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><em>Theories of How Iliotibial Band Syndrome Develops: </em>Although there are different theories of how iliotibial band syndrome develops, most are in agreement that there is a component of irregular compression forces between the iliotibial band and the femoral epicondyle that generates the irritation and inflammation. Most likely, iliotibial band syndrome is the result of a combination of issues, including poor training habits, weakened soft tissue (muscle, ligament, and tendons), mechanical imbalances, and joint instability, especially involving the low back, pelvis, hips, and knees. The injury occurs to the joint tissue because the joint begins to move in an abnormal fashion, irritating the tissue and altering the joint motion further. The irritation of the joint tissues in iliotibial band syndrome is both the cause and effect of altered joint mechanics.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><em> Instability Adds to the Problem: </em>As an added problem, when instability is present, the sufferer will begin to walk in an altered pattern in an attempt to brace the knee, but this change in the walking pattern puts additional stress on the joint and can injure or tear the cartilage. Since the iliotibial band crosses both the hip and knee joints, injury can cause abnormal motion and instability at both the hip and knee, which puts more and more stress on the iliotibial band. The increased stress will rotate the kneecap and put increased pressure on the cartilage. If the symptoms are ignored, the irritation and inflammation will continue, and even scarring can develop, which can decrease the knee range of motion and cause pain even with reduced activity.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><em> Anatomic Issues: </em>Anatomic issues can predispose folks to the development of iliotibial band syndrome. Leg-length discrepancies, an abnormally tilted pelvis, or bowed legs can cause the iliotibial band to become excessively tight or loose, which will increase the friction when the band as it crosses back and forth across the epicondyle, and change the stressors on the joint structures due to the abnormal way the anatomic issues cause the joint to move, which all will increase irritation, injury, and pain.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><em> Poor Training Habits: </em>Poor training habits can have the same effect on the iliotibial band as the anatomic issues do. For example, runners who tend to always run on the same side of the road may repeatedly have one leg moving slightly downhill compared to the other. Always running downhill also stresses the band, and cycling with the foot rotated inwards will increase the angle at which the band crosses over the epicondyle. All of these repeated activities can irritate the iliotibial band.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Treatment for Iliotibial Band Syndrome</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conservative treatment, including rest, modification of activity, and physical therapy are commonly recommended. Surgery to cut the IT band and “release” tension are occasionally recommended for cases that will not resolve, but conservative treatment should be sought first. When the IT band and associated muscles are “tight,” a lot of strain is put on the ligaments, making muscle stretching and massage beneficial. The affected ligaments need to be treated as well because all of the involved structures become weakened by the abnormal motion. The joint instability in the hip and the knee needs to be properly diagnosed and treated in order to find the relief and the desired return to function. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Treating Iliotibial Band Syndrome with Regenerative Orthopedics</strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedics is an effective and promising treatment option that can offer a non-surgical treatment solution for patients with persistent iliotibial band syndrome. Treatment into and around both the hip joint and the knee may very well be needed. If the hip is found to be stable upon evaluation, and the knee alone is affected, then the athlete with iliotibial band syndrome will receive Regenerative Orthopedic treatments to the area on the lower leg where the iliotibial band attaches. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if there are parts of the band itself that are tender, these areas can be treated as well. Generally, after just a couple of treatments, the athlete is able to start to work out again. Regenerative Orthopedics offers a successful and much-needed alternative by stimulating the body to repair the supportive ligaments around the joints, heal the iliotibial band, as well as promote cartilage regeneration when necessary. The treatment is safe and effective for athletes suffering from chronic lateral knee pain, such as that experienced in iliotibial band syndrome.</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/\"> Click here for more articles</a>','Iliotibial Band Syndrome Repair','','inherit','closed','closed','','2775-revision-v1','','','2020-10-10 21:36:43','2020-10-10 21:36:43','',2775,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2775-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4233,9,'2020-10-10 21:37:24','2020-10-10 21:37:24','Iliotibial Band Repair','Iliotibial Band Repair','Iliotibial Band Repair with Regenerative Orthopedics','inherit','open','closed','','it-band','','','2020-10-10 21:38:12','2020-10-10 21:38:12','',2775,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IT-band.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4234,9,'2020-10-10 21:59:01','2020-10-10 21:59:01','<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4233 alignright\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IT-band-400x500.png\" alt=\"&quot;&lt;yoastmark\" />\r\n<h3>Iliotibial Band Repair</h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Athletes are the ones who commonly suffer with this painful condition.

Sick of your love handles? You can increase your body’s fat-burning power by eating more fat fighting foods that strengthen your liver (your body’s main fat-metabolizing organ) to burn fat better. The result? A leaner you! There are many great liver boosting foods, but here are some of my favorites:\r\n<h3><strong>Leafy Greens</strong>:</h3>\r\nSpinach, spring mix, mustard greens, and other dark leafy greens are good sources of fiber and powerhouses of nutrition. Research demonstrates that their high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants helps prevent hunger while protecting you from heart disease, cancer, cataracts, and memory loss.\r\n<h3><strong>Beans and Legumes:</strong></h3>\r\nLegumes are the best source of  fiber of any foods. They help to stabilize blood sugar while keeping you regular. They are also high in potassium, a critical mineral that reduces dehydration and the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.\r\n<h3><strong>Garlic and Onions:</strong></h3>\r\nThis dynamic duo of foods contains phytochemicals that break down fatty deposits in the body. They also breakdown cholesterol; kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi; and protect against heart disease. With a little help from garlic and onions, you can burn fat while warding off illness.\r\n<h3><strong>Cayenne:</strong></h3>\r\nThis hot spice lessens the risk of excess insulin in the body by speeding metabolism and lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels before the excess insulin can result in fat stores. Spice up your next meal with cayenne and lessen those love handles.\r\n<h3><strong>Turmeric:</strong></h3>\r\nThe popular spice used primarily in Indian cooking is one of the highest known sources of beta carotene. It is an antioxidant that helps protect the liver from free radical damage. Turmeric also helps strengthen your liver while helping your body metabolize fats by decreasing the fat storage rate in liver cells. Add a teaspoon of turmeric into your next curry dish to help your body fight fat.\r\n<h3><strong>Cinnamon:</strong></h3>\r\nResearchers at the United States Department of Agriculture showed that a quarter to one teaspoon of cinnamon with food helps metabolize sugar up to twenty times better than food not eaten with cinnamon. Excess sugar in the blood can lead to fat storage. Before you sip that chai tea latte or eat your oatmeal, sprinkle on the cinnamon.\r\n<h3><strong>Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oil:</strong></h3>\r\nThese seeds and oil attract oil-soluble toxins that become lodged in the fatty tissues of the body. Once attracted, they help to escort fat-soluble toxins out. That spells fewer fat stores and a trimmer you.\r\n\r\nAnd if you are having a difficult time choosing to eat healthy foods like vegetables and fruit, it\'s important to remember to make them look good and palatable. Keep in mind that we are bombarded constantly with junk food advertisements.

Regenerative Orthopedics Gets You Back To Doing What You Love!</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nMany of us have aches or pains that just won’t go away no matter what we do. Medications, rest, physical therapy, acupuncture, and manipulation just aren\'t doing the trick. Somehow that joint pain either never goes away or just keeps coming back. But have you tried Regenerative Orthopedics?\r\n<h3>What\'s Regenerative Orthopedics?</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is a technique that helps to stimulate the body’s ability to repair a painful area when the natural healing process isn\'t cutting it. <em><strong>In most cases, Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at eliminating persistent joint pain due to ligament and tendon weakness 80 to 90 percent of the time</strong></em>.\r\n<h3>Why Can\'t I Get Rid of This Joint Pain?</h3>\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months, or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. These areas may have little or no blood flow, <em><strong>but they have lots of nerves</strong></em>. When the structures that stabilize the joint become weak, the nerves around them (ligaments and tendons) become stretched and irritated. That produces pain.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics involves the injection of a solution that causes a healing response that stimulates the healing process. This results in a stronger tendon or ligament that can hold these joint structures in place more effectively.\r\n<h3>A Repaired Joint Is the Result</h3>\r\nThe weakened area heals, and the patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated. It is also an excellent alternative to cortisone injections. Many doctors still recommend cortisone. That\'s unfortunate because long-term studies have shown cortisone to actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\nMost patients require about 4-6 treatments to restore function and relieve pain. The treatments are usually given at about 3-week intervals.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Regenerative Orthopedics</a> is effective for all types of persistent joint pain. It works for the neck, shoulder, knee, elbow, and other joints.
