After all, who really wants all the expense, additional pain, and recovery time that joint surgery always requires?\r\n<h4><em>And You\'ve Tried All Kinds of Treatments...</em></h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1685\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"405\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1685 \" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Peter-Fields-MD-DC.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery\" width=\"405\" height=\"643\" /> <em><strong>                  Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nYou may have tried physical therapy, chiropractic, cortisone shots, NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Naprosyn), or even a long list of home remedies...only to discover that if there was any relief from your pain at all, <strong>the relief was only temporary</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd now, since you\'ve tried all of these different things, you are faced with the question of whether you need to get surgery?! You don\'t want surgery, but you are so tired of the pain. What else can you?\r\n<h4><em>There Is An Alternative Ways to Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery. Let me tell you about it...</em></h4>\r\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter Fields</strong>, and I am the leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics. I am also uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that <strong>you do NOT need to have surgery</strong> to eliminate joint pain in many cases.\r\n\r\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery. And there’s an excellent chance that I can do the same for you.\r\n\r\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Prolotherapy. </strong> It is one type of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment that helps your body make new cells to repair your joint damage.\r\n<h4>Why Does My Knee/Hip/Back/Shoulder/Elbow/Neck STILL HURT After All This Time?</h4>\r\nLet\'s talk about what is behind a lot of the joint pain people experience. Most joint pain is caused by weakened, torn, or damaged tendons or ligaments. These types of soft tissues have very low blood flow. And that inhibits their ability to repair themselves on their own. Plus, to make things even worse, they also have a high number of nerves, causing you pain.\r\n\r\nYou may know that the job of tendons and ligaments is to keep your joints aligned and moving properly. But when they are injured, stretched out, and weak...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h4>The cartilage can degenerate and <strong>cause bone-on-bone friction...</strong></h4>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h4>Which causes <strong>arthritis-like</strong> pain...</h4>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h4>Plus, the nerves surrounding soft tissues become stretched and irritated...</h4>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h4>Causing you <strong>even more </strong><strong>pain</strong>.</h4>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUnless you strengthen your tendons and ligaments and restore your joint to its proper, natural alignment and motion, <strong>you will continue to be in pain</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd Regenerative therapies, like Prolotherapy, work to do just that! Prolotherapy is very effective at repairing and strengthening ligaments and tendons.\r\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Eliminate Chronic Joint Pain Without Surgery?</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works by increasing nutrient-rich blood cells to the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints. <strong>Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong, and vibrant tissue</strong>.\r\n\r\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.\r\n\r\nThat means you eliminate your pain with <strong>NO surgery, NO hospital stay</strong>, and <strong>NO general anesthesia</strong>. And isn’t that what you want most?\r\n<h4>Schedule Your Consultation Today</h4>\r\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> and set up a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, or Stem Cell Therapy.\r\n<h3>Listen to these testimonials from patients I have treated with Regenerative Orthopedics...</h3>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mc4Xo9RTwjw?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"video-text\"><strong>Christa - Knee </strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><em>Christa, a former college athlete, had a knee dislocation with pain and stiffness in her right knee.

Most of us have heard about rotator cuff tears and even impingement syndromes. We have probably seen and heard about them in the news. We often hear about professional athletes taken out of the game and possibly facing surgery. But these injuries affect the general public too!\n\nRotator cuff injuries are so common that they affect about a quarter of the population over 50 years of age.1 Many people are opting for surgery to fix their injury. The numbers of surgical repairs are going up and up! In some locations, surgeries are doubling in number, and particular surgeries, like arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, have increased by 353%. 2,3 But are all of these surgeries really necessary? Especially considering the economic costs, the time needed for rehabilitation, and other personal risks!\n<h3>Non-Surgical Options for Rotator Cuff Injuries</h3>\nIn so many rotator cuff injury cases, Regenerative Orthopedic techniques, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, can be used to repair the shoulder.

First and foremost, it gets to the root cause of the problem. What do we mean by that? Rotator cuff injuries affect the tendon and ligaments of the shoulder. And treatments like Prolotherapy are especially effective at healing soft tissue like tendons and ligaments.\n\nBesides, Regenerative Orthopedic options require much less rehabilitation time. They also help you avoid the risks associated with rotator cuff surgery, such as frozen shoulder, deep infection, and dislocation. And many patients who develop these complications also end up needing a second surgical procedure.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_4483\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4483\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/rotator-cuff-problem-400x500.png\" alt=\"Rotator Cuff Injuries\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>       Rotator Cuff Injuries Affect Your Sleep Too!</strong></em>[/caption]\n<h3>Who Is At Risk for Rotator Cuff Injuries?</h3>\nAs mentioned previously, many people are at risk for rotator cuff injuries. Among athletes, rotator cuff injuries are more common with pitchers, tennis players, swimmers, and any sport that involves a throwing motion or repeated over-the-head movements. Non-athletes who repeatedly use overhead movements are also at increased risk for rotator cuff injuries. For example, rotator cuff tendinitis occurs when the rotator cuff\'s small muscles become strained, causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis. Left untreated, a chronic condition of tendinosis can develop.\n<h4><em>Impingement Syndrome</em></h4>\nAnother shoulder condition involving the rotator cuff is impingement syndrome. This condition occurs when the <a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> tendon becomes pinched between the head of the humerus and the acromion process during the arm\'s motion raised above the head. This happens because the space gets narrowed, as occurs when the rotator cuff muscles weaken, and the humeral head rides high in the socket.\n\nImpingement can also ensue when bone spurs and calcium deposits narrow the space. Impingement also occurs when the contents of the subacromial space increase in size. This is most often due to a swollen rotator cuff tendon or bursa, which is painfully squeezed between the humeral head and the acromion process.\n<h3>Common Treatments for Rotator Cuff Injuries</h3>\nTreatment for rotator cuff injuries usually includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and cortisone injections. Cortisone has a substantial anti-inflammatory property, reducing the tendon and bursa\'s swelling and relieving the symptoms. Unfortunately, cortisone has also been found to lead to degeneration of the soft tissue eventually. It\'s so much better to regenerate the joint. And you can get regenerative results with Regenerative Orthopedics.\n\nMany common treatments only provide temporary help. That\'s because the underlying cause is not addressed, and the problem usually returns. Degenerative fraying and tearing of the tendon may occur when the tendon is allowed to be in a constant state of irritation over time. Non-Surgical Regenerative Orthopedics is a great way to address the underlying tendon and ligament injuries and repair all of the involved soft tissue. The result is a re-strengthening of the rotator cuff, an improved shoulder joint, and an excellent chance for a full recovery and performance.\n<h3><a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/Contact\">To Learn More, Contact Us Today!

And treatments like Prolotherapy are especially effective at healing soft tissue like tendons and ligaments.\r\n\r\nBesides, Regenerative Orthopedic options require much less rehabilitation time. They also help you avoid the risks associated with rotator cuff surgery, such as frozen shoulder, deep infection, and dislocation. And many patients who develop these complications also end up needing a second surgical procedure.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4483\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4483\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/rotator-cuff-problem-400x500.png\" alt=\"Rotator Cuff Injuries\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>       Rotator Cuff Injuries Affect Your Sleep Too!</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Who Is At Risk for Rotator Cuff Injuries?</h3>\r\nAs mentioned previously, many people are at risk for rotator cuff injuries. Among athletes, rotator cuff injuries are more common with pitchers, tennis players, swimmers, and any sport that involves a throwing motion or repeated over the head movements. Non-athletes who repeatedly use overhead movements are also at increased risk for rotator cuff injuries. For example, rotator cuff tendinitis occurs when the rotator cuff\'s small muscles become strained, causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis. Left untreated, a chronic condition of tendinosis can develop.\r\n<h4><em>Impingement Syndrome</em></h4>\r\nAnother shoulder condition involving the rotator cuff is impingement syndrome. This condition occurs when the <a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> tendon becomes pinched between the head of the humerus and the acromion process during the arm\'s motion raised above the head. This happens because the space gets narrowed, as occurs when the rotator cuff muscles weaken, and the humeral head rides high in the socket.\r\n\r\nImpingement can also ensue when bone spurs and calcium deposits narrow the space. Impingement also occurs when the contents of the subacromial space increase in size. This is most often due to a swollen rotator cuff tendon or bursa, which is painfully squeezed between the humeral head and the acromion process.\r\n<h3>Common Treatments for Rotator Cuff Injuries</h3>\r\nTreatment for rotator cuff injuries usually includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and cortisone injections. Cortisone has a substantial anti-inflammatory property, reducing the tendon and bursa\'s swelling and relieving the symptoms. Unfortunately, cortisone has also been found to lead to degeneration of the soft tissue eventually. It\'s so much better to regenerate the joint. And you can get regenerative results with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n\r\nMany common treatments only provide temporary help. That\'s because the underlying cause is not addressed, and the problem usually returns. Degenerative fraying and tearing of the tendon may occur when the tendon is allowed to be in a constant state of irritation over time. Non-Surgical Regenerative Orthopedics is a great way to address the underlying tendon and ligament injuries and repair all of the involved soft tissue. The result is a re-strengthening of the rotator cuff, an improved shoulder joint, and an excellent chance for a full recovery and performance.\r\n<h3><a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/Contact\">To Learn More, Contact Us Today!

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?\n<h3>Common Treatment Options for Unrelenting Back Pain</h3>\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.\n\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.\n<h3>Pain Will Continue Until the Underlying Cause Is Addressed</h3>\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n<h3>What Causes Back Pain?</h3>\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.\n\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>\n<h4>Let’s Explain What Happens In Disc Degeneration and Herniated Discs:</h4>\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n<h4>Does Fusion Surgery Help the Instability?</h4>\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.\n\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.\n<h4>Regeneration, Not Surgery</h4>\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]\n\nRegenerative Orthopedic physicians utilize regenerative injection therapies to stimulate the body to repair the ligaments. Our bodies have exceptional regenerative capabilities. The regenerative medicine approach triggers the body to strengthen the tissue on its own. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Therapy, stimulate the body to heal itself. In the case of unrelenting back pain, regenerative techniques specifically stimulate the repair of the ligaments through which the disc herniates and the ligaments connecting the vertebrae.\n\nOne of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is that the individual can maintain activity and get back to sports or other activities they enjoy without extensive downtime. Treatments are individually tailored to promote healing and return people to their active lives. It’s really an amazing transformation to see people regain their mobility and independence!\n\nWe strongly recommend looking into Regenerative Orthopedics for those with back pain because it is helpful for many back pain related conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease. Why continue to suffer when you can eliminate back pain with Regenerative Orthopedics.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>','Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','1410-autosave-v1','','','2022-03-26 16:10:11','2022-03-26 16:10:11','',1410,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1410-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4493,8,'2021-02-11 22:28:55','2021-02-11 22:28:55','<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"slider\">\r\n<div class=\"owl-carousel slider-carousel\">\r\n<div id=\"slide\" class=\"item\" style=\"background-image: url(\'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/header-orthoregen-santa-monica-pier.jpg\');\">\r\n<div class=\"carousel-caption\"><span class=\"header_text_first\">New Article:</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_second\">Keep Looking Forward Despite COVID-19</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_third\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">By Peter A.

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\nRegenerative Orthopedic physicians utilize regenerative injection therapies to stimulate the body to repair the ligaments. Our bodies have exceptional regenerative capabilities. The regenerative medicine approach triggers the body to strengthen the tissue on its own. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Therapy, stimulate the body to heal itself. In the case of unrelenting back pain, regenerative techniques specifically stimulate the repair of the ligaments through which the disc herniates and the ligaments connecting the vertebrae.\r\n\r\nOne of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is that the individual can maintain activity and get back to sports or other activities they enjoy without extensive downtime. Treatments are individually tailored to promote healing and return people to their active lives. It’s really an amazing transformation to see people regain their mobility and independence!\r\n\r\nWe strongly recommend looking into Regenerative Orthopedics for those with back pain because it is helpful for many back pain related conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease. Why continue to suffer when you can eliminate back pain with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>','Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','1410-revision-v1','','','2021-02-11 23:08:34','2021-02-11 23:08:34','',1410,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1410-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4498,8,'2021-02-11 23:52:56','2021-02-11 23:52:56','Palm Tree Sky Bg','Palm Tree Sky Bg','Palm Tree Sky Bg','inherit','open','closed','','palm-tree-sky-bg','','','2021-02-11 23:52:56','2021-02-11 23:52:56','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Palm-Tree-Sky-BG.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4499,8,'2021-02-12 00:03:10','2021-02-12 00:03:10','<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"slider\">\r\n<div class=\"owl-carousel slider-carousel\">\r\n<div id=\"slide\" class=\"item\" style=\"background-image: url(\'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/header-orthoregen-santa-monica-pier.jpg\');\">\r\n<div class=\"carousel-caption\"><span class=\"header_text_first\">New Article:</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_second\">Keep Looking Forward Despite COVID-19</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_third\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">By Peter A.

After all, who really wants all the expense, additional pain, and recovery time that joint surgery always requires?\r\n<h4><em>And You\'ve Tried All Kinds of Treatments...</em></h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1685\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"405\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1685 \" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Peter-Fields-MD-DC.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery\" width=\"405\" height=\"643\" /> <em><strong>                  Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nYou may have tried physical therapy, chiropractic, cortisone shots, NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Naprosyn), or even a long list of home remedies...only to discover that if there was any relief from your pain at all, <strong>the relief was only temporary</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd now, since you\'ve tried all of these different things, you are faced with the question of whether you need to get surgery?! You don\'t want surgery, but you are so tired of the pain. What else can you?\r\n<h4><em>There Is An Alternative Way to Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery. Let me tell you about it...</em></h4>\r\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter Fields</strong>, and I am the leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics. I am also uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that <strong>you do NOT need to have surgery</strong> to eliminate joint pain in many cases.\r\n\r\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery. And there’s an excellent chance that I can do the same for you.\r\n\r\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Prolotherapy. </strong> It is one type of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment that helps your body make new cells to repair your joint damage.\r\n<h4>Why Does My Knee/Hip/Back/Shoulder/Elbow/Neck STILL HURT After All This Time?</h4>\r\nLet\'s talk about what is behind a lot of the joint pain people experience. Most joint pain is caused by weakened, torn, or damaged tendons or ligaments. These types of soft tissues have very low blood flow. And that inhibits their ability to repair themselves on their own. Plus, to make things even worse, they also have a high number of nerves, causing you pain.\r\n\r\nYou may know that the job of tendons and ligaments is to keep your joints aligned and moving properly. But when they are injured, stretched out, and weak...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>The cartilage can degenerate and <strong>cause bone-on-bone friction...</strong></h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Which causes <strong>arthritis-like</strong> pain...</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Plus, the nerves surrounding soft tissues become stretched and irritated...</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Causing you <strong>even more </strong><strong>pain</strong>.</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUnless you strengthen your tendons and ligaments and restore your joint to its proper, natural alignment and motion, <strong>you will continue to be in pain</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd Regenerative therapies, like Prolotherapy, work to do just that! Prolotherapy is very effective at repairing and strengthening ligaments and tendons.\r\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Eliminate Chronic Joint Pain Without Surgery?</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works by increasing nutrient-rich blood cells to the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints. <strong>Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong, and vibrant tissue</strong>.\r\n\r\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.\r\n\r\nThat means you eliminate your pain with <strong>NO surgery, NO hospital stay</strong>, and <strong>NO general anesthesia</strong>. And isn’t that what you want most?\r\n<h4>Schedule Your Consultation Today</h4>\r\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> and set up a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, or Stem Cell Therapy.\r\n<h3>Listen to these testimonials from patients I have treated with Regenerative Orthopedics...</h3>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mc4Xo9RTwjw?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"video-text\"><strong>Christa - Knee </strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h5><em>Christa, a former college athlete, had a knee dislocation with pain and stiffness in her right knee.

Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair the painful area and starts developing new healthy, strong tissue. One’s body – and their own immune system – proliferates the tissue.\n\nProlotherapy is performed as an in-office injection procedure. And research has shown the treatment to be effective, trustworthy, and reliable. In many cases, it can be used as an alternative to surgical treatments. And Prolotherapy is often superior to other treatments because it gets to the root of the problem. This regenerative therapy relieves chronic joint and spine pain problems by getting to the source of the pain. The result? You can get back to your active lifestyle.\n<h3>What Can I Expect From Dextrose Prolotherapy at OrthoRegen?</h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li>In our clinic, we offer Comprehensive Prolotherapy.

Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair the painful area and starts developing new healthy, strong tissue. One’s body – and their own immune system – proliferates the tissue.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is performed as an in-office injection procedure. And research has shown the treatment to be effective, trustworthy, and reliable. In many cases, it can be used as an alternative to surgical treatments. And Prolotherapy is often superior to other treatments because it gets to the root of the problem. This regenerative therapy relieves chronic joint and spine pain problems by getting to the source of the pain. The result? You can get back to your active lifestyle.\r\n<h3>What Can I Expect From Dextrose Prolotherapy at OrthoRegen?</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In our clinic, we offer Comprehensive Prolotherapy. By using this Prolotherapy technique, it means that all of the affected soft tissue areas of the joint are treated for the best possible repair and outcome. (Platelet Rich Plasma and/or Stem Cell Therapy may be recommended in more serious joint degeneration cases. And at OrthoRegen, we use the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy.

Avoid Replacement2\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>                   Joint Replacement Alternative</strong></em>[/caption]\n<h3>What\'s Your Joint Replacement Alternative?</h3>\nJoint replacements are on the rise. In fact, they have increased so much that, in the last ten years, knee replacements have more than doubled and hip replacements more than tripled. <sup><strong>1</strong></sup> As life expectancy increases, this number will continue to go up. What\'s the reason for so many?Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee and hip pain, and this condition eventually leads to joint replacement. Other causes of knee and hip pain include bursitis, tendonitis, sports injuries, chondromalacia patellae, ligament injury, meniscal injury, hip impingement, and labral injury, all of which often lead to an eventual surgical recommendation or joint replacement intervention. With all of these problems, am I destined for joint replacement? Or is there a joint replacement alternative?\n<h4>Traditional Therapies for Joint Pain May Buy You Time. But They Aren\'t Joint Replacement Alternatives</h4>\nThere are a lot of common treatments that people with joint pain encounter prior to considering joint replacement. But why don\'t they fix the problem? It seems they just buy you time until the eventual joint replacement. So why is that?\n\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. They only buy you more time because they are unfortunately unable to actually repair the joint instability or source of the pain.\n\nLet\'s take a look at what\'s behind the problem. 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 that instability makes the soft tissue of the joint even more susceptible to further injury. What is the result? When left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis.\n\nAgain, 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.\n<h4>NSAIDS and Cortisone Interfere with Healing</h4>\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.\n\nThey do however, inhibit the properties of healing. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Did you know that NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis? Instead, they accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed, and are a catalyst towards joint replacement. That means, instead of being a joint replacement alternative, they actually propel you more quickly towards the problem.\n\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, the intra-articular use of steroids 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.\n<h4>What about the Popular Use of Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Joint Pain? Are They Joint Replacement Alternatives?</h4>\nUnfortunately, 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.\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\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, it will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. In the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement.\n\nEven athletes, when faced with 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. That\'s because surgery makes the joint instability worse, not better. Many 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.\n\nACL 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.\n\nThe 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.\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Is An Actual Joint Replacement Alternative Because It Repairs the Joint</h4>\nRegenerative Orthopedics can help you to avoid joint replacement by stimulating healing and by repairing the joint. Plus, it does not interfere with the normal healing process of the body. PRP, Prolotherapy, and the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy, as utilized at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics that stimulate the normal reparative mechanisms of the body by laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee and hip labrum, and boosting cartilage growth.\n\nAll of these regenerative therapies work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Platelet Rich Plasma, Prolotherapy, and Stem Cell Therapy offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and to those trying to avoid joint replacement. While surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery.\n\nHave you already had surgery, but continue to experience pain? Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery. Regenerative Orthopedics offers a promising alternative to joint replacement and the opportunity for healing and return to function for those suffering from chronic joint pain.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/\"><strong>Ever Wonder If There Is A Joint Replacement Alternative?Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>\n\n<em>1.

Eventually, they will cause problems.\r\n\r\nThe 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 Is An Actual Joint Replacement Alternative Because It Repairs the Joint</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics can help you to avoid joint replacement by stimulating healing and by repairing the joint. Plus, it does not interfere with the normal healing process of the body. PRP, Prolotherapy, and the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy, as utilized at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics that stimulate the normal reparative mechanisms of the body by laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee and hip labrum, and boosting cartilage growth.\r\n\r\nAll of these regenerative therapies work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Platelet Rich Plasma, Prolotherapy, and Stem Cell Therapy offer hope to those suffering from various joint pain types and those trying to avoid joint replacement. While surgery is necessary for a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried before surgery.\r\n\r\nHave you already had surgery but continue to experience pain? Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis accelerated due to the surgery. Regenerative Orthopedics offers a promising alternative to joint replacement and the opportunity for healing and return to function for those suffering from chronic joint pain.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/\"><strong>Ever Wonder If There Is A Joint Replacement Alternative?

Our knees are called on so we can conquer even the simplest of tasks. We can\'t really accomplish our day to day living without them. How else can we get out of bed every morning? And for those who choose the more daunting endeavors like running a marathon, working knees are pretty important. Painful knees can sure get in the way!\n\nWhen our knees are healthy, we go about our daily activities without much thought. That\'s because our knees are strong, stable, and pain-free. Healthy knees can help us conquer uneven terrain, move around obstacles, walk over wet and slippery surfaces, run, jump and twist. It takes a complex balance of coordinated efforts between all of the structures of the knee to move normally, maintain performance, and remain healthy.\n\nBut once we sustain an injury, all of that changes. When our knees begin to hurt, we sure take notice! It\'s then that even simple, every-day tasks feels daunting. Besides causing pain, a knee injury alters the way the knee structures work together. Any change in the structures of the knee set it up for imbalance. That\'s because the muscles, tendons, ligaments, menisci, cartilage and bone cooperate together to ensure smooth function. And when they are injured, the distribution of stresses changes, allowing for instability of the knee, further injury, and pain.\n<h3>Strong Ligaments Are Crucial to Prevent Painful Knees</h3>\nLigaments are structures of the knee that play a crucial role in the health and stability of the knee. Yet they are particularly vulnerable when the loads placed on them exceed their allowed elasticity. If ligaments become injured, your knee will hurt! Why? Ligaments are full of nerve endings! When overloaded from an injury, the ligaments stretch out and weaken. And that creates an unstable knee joint, which causes those nerve endings to send out pain signals.\n\nThere are quite a few secondary conditions that arise from a knee joint that is unstable due to too much pressure placed on other knee structures. Some examples include conditions like patellar tendonitis, meniscal injuries, runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patella, and osteoarthritis. All of these conditions arise from altered joint mechanics and injured soft tissue of the knee which end up causing painful knees.\n\nInjury to the ligaments of the knee is quite common. Those who follow sports will frequently hear of athletes missing their entire season due to injuries like anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears? Since the knee structures all work together in a coordinated effort, an injury to one joint structure can also affect other structures of the knee.\n\nLigament Injury at the Time of the Trauma\n\nSometimes the injury to the other structure(s) occurs at the time of the trauma. For example, if the force during the injury is sufficiently excessive, it is capable of tearing the ACL along with the meniscus, and quite possibly injuring other ligaments as well. Secondary injury can also occur over time. This can happen when an injury to one structure allows for an abnormal balance of the knee joint. The imbalance negatively affects the structures as the uneven distribution of motion causes them to work harder.\n\nThe unstable knee joint transmits impaired forces to the bones, ligaments, tendons and menisci, resulting in pain, excessive joint displacement, lack of smooth motion and joint weakness. Each link is important, so if one link is affected, the dynamics of the rest of the knee are altered.\n\nThe assault to knee health doesn’t stop there. When injury to the soft tissue or articular surfaces of the knee takes place, it is very common for secondary arthritis to develop in the knee. Arthritis can occur within a few years with severe injuries, or take decades to occur when the injury is less severe. The end result is that your knee will hurt more.\n<h3>Treatment Options for Painful Knees</h3>\nCurrent treatment options for injured and painful knees generally focus on short-term relief of symptoms. They are utilized in an effort to stop your knees from hurting. Examples include treatments like physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, NSAIDS and intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections. These treatments may provide some pain relief, and stop your knees from hurting for a period of time.\n\n<em><strong>But not all treatments make your knee healthy.</strong></em> It is important to be aware that corticosteroids and NSAIDS have both been linked to the acceleration of the arthritic process, among other deleterious side effects. In the long run, they may make your knees hurt more.\n\nTo stop the knees from hurting, treatments need to address the injured joint structures. The soft tissue, such as the ligaments, need to be strengthened. And unfortunately, most treatments are unable to strengthen them. And so they often fail to resolve the pain, since injured ligaments are often at the core of the painful knee. A lack of knee health continues as do symptoms and progression of the disease process. If the root of the problem is not repaired, you are left with knees that continue to hurt.\n<h3>Will Surgery Stop My Knee from Hurting?</h3>\nAlthough surgical intervention may be needed in cases of fracture and complete tears, surgical arthroscopy for arthritis has been shown to lack benefit, even when compared to exercise and other non-surgical treatments.<sup><strong>1</strong></sup> Repair of meniscal injuries by arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has also been questioned in studies due to lack of efficacy.<sup><strong>2</strong></sup> These surgeries are also highly associated with acceleration of the arthritic process,3 which as you know, will cause your knee to hurt.\n<h3>What Treatment Stops the Knee from Hurting?</h3>\nThe knee needs to be repair and regeneration! Regenerative Orthopedics does just that. And it addresses knee pain, because it strengthens and repairs the underlying ligament injury and weakness. As a safe and effective non-surgical treatment option, Regenerative Orthopedics, including Prolotherapy, PRP and Stem Cell Therapy, actually repairs the knee joint.\n\nIt resolves the problem because it promotes healing of the knee structures such as ligaments, tendons, menisci and cartilage.\n\nIf knee pain has you side-lined, don’t put up with knees that continue to hurt. We can help get you back to doing the things you love, without the nuisance of painful knees!\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>\n<h3>References:</h3>\n<em>1.

Our favorite sport or activity might include swimming, golfing, bicycling, or 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?\n<h3>The Unique Shoulder Joint and How That Uniqueness Predisposes Us to Shoulder Injury</h3>\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.\n\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.\n<h3>What\'s Behind Rotator Cuff and Other Shoulder Injuries?</h3>\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.\n\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.\n<h3>Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injury</h3>\nHave you or someone you know suffered from a rotator cuff injury? It’s quite a common shoulder injury. The 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 transpires with overhead activities.\n\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.\n<h4>Glenoid Labral Tears of the Shoulder</h4>\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.\n\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.\n\nKeep this in mind when seeking repair, because all of 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.\n<h4>Should Surgery Be Sought in Shoulder Injuries?</h4>\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!\n\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.\n<h4><em>What About Other Conservative Treatment Options to Stop Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injuries?</em></h4>\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.\n\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.

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.\n\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.\n\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!\n<h3>References</h3>\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).\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.\n\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-autosave-v1','','','2022-04-05 00:11:12','2022-04-05 00:11:12','',1408,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1408-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4529,9,'2021-02-25 22:08:11','2021-02-25 22:08:11','<h2>Stop Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff Injuries</h2>\r\nMany of us really enjoy participating in indoor and outdoor activities.

In this article, we are not referring to a catastrophic neck injury, but one that very often may be considered \"minor.\" Yet the sufferer still lives with symptoms that alter their ability to live normally. The cause may very well be cervical instability, a disorder of the neck or cervical spine that can result in a myriad of symptoms.\r\n<h3>The Uniqueness of the Cervical Spine</h3>\r\nThe neck is unique because it consists of vertebrae that are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck or cervical spine is necessary in order to move the head through all the different ranges of motion we put it through. Blood is also transported through the neck on the way to the brain by means of the vertebral artery. The artery goes up through an opening called the transverse foramina in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nWhy are these features important when discussing neck pain, symptoms, and instability? Well first of all, although the mobility of the neck is great and necessary in order to get things done and function like we like to, this same feature makes the neck vulnerable to injury.\r\n<h3>Ligaments are Affected by Neck Injuries Too. And When Injured, Cause Cervical Instability and Pain!</h3>\r\nSecondly, when an injury to the neck occurs, ligaments are affected. The ligaments are structures that are primarily responsible for joining bones. And they are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally, while remaining in proper alignment. All of this protects the blood vessels, nerves, and spinal cord. But an injury to the ligaments changes this whole dynamic because it causes the cervical spine to become unstable.\r\n\r\nWhen the neck is called upon to function, this new instability of the cervical spine can\'t provide adequate support. Neck alignment is changed and a cycle of imbalance is created between the different neck structures. This causes too much movement of the neighboring vertebrae which stresses the ligaments that support them. It also puts undue pressure on the nerve endings within those structures. The result is neck pain! A host of other possible symptoms are set into motion as a result of the various blood vessels and nerves running through the neck vertebrae.\r\n<h2><strong>Whiplash Injuries Are Examples of Cervical Instability </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3311\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-1-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />People who have experienced whiplash, often have symptoms that seem to last and last. <em>These symptoms are frequently a result of the instability of the vertebrae of the neck, or cervical instability.</em>\r\n\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common cause of cervical instability. The head is literally “whipped” in these injuries. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear-end collisions is an example of whiplash. During whiplash, a severe flexion is generated followed by an extension of the neck, in a whip-type motion forward and backward.\r\n\r\nThe backward hyperextension is often associated with more injury to the muscles and ligaments because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meets the chest in the forward “whip.” Excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments. This motion also compresses the adjoining vertebrae.\r\n\r\nLet\'s consider a person who is looking in the rearview mirror at the time of the collision. The rotated neck position puts the ligaments in even greater vulnerability for injury. Why? Well, these particular ligaments are those that help in side to side head movements and they are more susceptible when in this position.\r\n\r\nAs the ligaments become weaker, they are unable to provide a stable neck structure, which leads to even more injury and an ongoing provocation of the nerve endings. The ongoing provocation alters a part of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system which becomes increasingly activated. This can result in a myriad of symptoms, including a syndrome of symptoms referred to as Barré-Liéou Syndrome.\r\n<h2><strong>Symptoms from Cervical Instability</strong></h2>\r\nSymptoms of neck instability or cervical instability include neck pain, muscle spasms, cracking sounds, and numbness in the arms and legs. Also, remember how we discussed the unique anatomical relationship of the vertebral arteries through the transverse foramina?\r\n\r\nInstability of the neck can cause a change in the flow of the arterial blood through the vertebrae when they are moving excessively. This artery provides circulation to half of the brain, so the extra mobile vertebrae can pinch it off, fostering an insufficiency of blood supply as it travels up to the brain. The condition is called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). Symptoms of VBI include neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, dizziness, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and disturbances in hearing and vision.\r\n<h2><strong>How Can You Treat Neck Pain and Cervical Instability?</strong></h2>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3310\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"wp-image-3310 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>       Repair the spine &amp; Relieve Cervical Instability Symptoms</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAll of these symptoms can perplex many clinicians. Meanwhile, the sufferer lives with debilitating symptoms, oftentimes going from doctor to doctor, seeking some type of relief from the many and varied symptoms they experience.\r\n\r\nChiropractors do a great job at not only assessing these problems but treating them.  But when Chiropractors are not able to solve the problem or find a complete solution, one must look elsewhere.\r\n\r\nTalk with your chiropractor about Regenerative Orthopedics and what it can do to save your neck from surgery.

In this article, we are not referring to a catastrophic neck injury, but one that very often may be considered \"minor.\" Yet the sufferer still lives with symptoms that alter their ability to live normally. The cause may very well be cervical instability, a disorder of the neck or cervical spine that can result in a myriad of symptoms.\r\n<h3>The Uniqueness of the Cervical Spine</h3>\r\nThe neck is unique because it consists of vertebrae that are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck or cervical spine is necessary in order to move the head through all the different ranges of motion we put it through. Blood is also transported through the neck on the way to the brain by means of the vertebral artery. The artery goes up through an opening called the transverse foramina in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nWhy are these features important when discussing neck pain, symptoms, and instability? Well first of all, although the mobility of the neck is great and necessary in order to get things done and function like we like to, this same feature makes the neck vulnerable to injury.\r\n<h3>Ligaments are Affected by Neck Injuries Too. And When Injured, Cause Cervical Instability and Pain!</h3>\r\nSecondly, when an injury to the neck occurs, ligaments are affected. The ligaments are structures that are primarily responsible for joining bones. And they are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally, while remaining in proper alignment. All of this protects the blood vessels, nerves, and spinal cord. But an injury to the ligaments changes this whole dynamic because it causes the cervical spine to become unstable.\r\n\r\nWhen the neck is called upon to function, this new instability of the cervical spine can\'t provide adequate support. Neck alignment is changed and a cycle of imbalance is created between the different neck structures. This causes too much movement of the neighboring vertebrae which stresses the ligaments that support them. It also puts undue pressure on the nerve endings within those structures. The result is neck pain! A host of other possible symptoms are set into motion as a result of the various blood vessels and nerves running through the neck vertebrae.\r\n<h2><strong>Whiplash Injuries Are Examples of Cervical Instability </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3311\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-1-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />People who have experienced whiplash, often have symptoms that seem to last and last. <em>These symptoms are frequently a result of the instability of the vertebrae of the neck, or cervical instability.</em>\r\n\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common cause of cervical instability. The head is literally “whipped” in these injuries. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear-end collisions is an example of whiplash. During whiplash, a severe flexion is generated followed by an extension of the neck, in a whip-type motion forward and backward.\r\n\r\nThe backward hyperextension is often associated with more injury to the muscles and ligaments because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meets the chest in the forward “whip.” Excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments. This motion also compresses the adjoining vertebrae.\r\n\r\nLet\'s consider a person who is looking in the rearview mirror at the time of the collision. The rotated neck position puts the ligaments in even greater vulnerability for injury. Why? Well, these particular ligaments are those that help in side to side head movements and they are more susceptible when in this position.\r\n\r\nAs the ligaments become weaker, they are unable to provide a stable neck structure, which leads to even more injury and an ongoing provocation of the nerve endings. The ongoing provocation alters a part of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system which becomes increasingly activated. This can result in a myriad of symptoms, including a syndrome of symptoms referred to as Barré-Liéou Syndrome.\r\n<h3><strong>What Are the Symptoms of Cervical Instability?</strong></h3>\r\nSymptoms of neck instability or cervical instability include neck pain, muscle spasms, cracking sounds, and numbness in the arms and legs. Also, remember how we discussed the unique anatomical relationship of the vertebral arteries through the transverse foramina?\r\n\r\nInstability of the neck can cause a change in the flow of the arterial blood through the vertebrae when they are moving excessively. This artery provides circulation to half of the brain, so the extra mobile vertebrae can pinch it off, fostering an insufficiency of blood supply as it travels up to the brain. The condition is called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). Symptoms of VBI include neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, dizziness, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and disturbances in hearing and vision.\r\n<h3><strong>Repair the Neck, And Relieve the Pain of Cervical Instability with Regenerative Orthopedics</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3310\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"wp-image-3310 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>       Repair the spine &amp; Relieve Cervical Instability Symptoms</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAll of these symptoms can perplex many clinicians. Meanwhile, the sufferer lives with debilitating symptoms, oftentimes going from doctor to doctor, seeking some type of relief from the many and varied symptoms they experience.\r\n\r\nChiropractors do a great job at not only assessing these problems but treating them.  But when Chiropractors are not able to solve the problem or find a complete solution, one must look elsewhere.\r\n\r\nTalk with your chiropractor about Regenerative Orthopedics and what it can do to save your neck from surgery.

Who would blame us?! So, we do everything we can think of to keep going and keep moving, even if we are hurting. And those who have an injured joint, who still want to exercise, may choose bicycling instead of running, or swimming instead of hiking. That way, they can still keep exercising since there is less stress on the joint and less pain with the different activities.\n\nAnd we may also try over-the-counter medications, rest, physical therapy, acupuncture, manipulation, and whatever else we can possibly find in an effort to get relief. But for some, that pain either never goes away, or it just keeps coming back.\n\n<strong>There is another way!</strong> Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, is one of the best ways to get relief from your pain without hospitalization or the need for surgery.\n<h3>With Regenerative Orthopedics, There Is:</h3>\n[caption id=\"attachment_4538\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"527\"]<img class=\" wp-image-4538\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Avoid-the-hospital-1-500x466.png\" alt=\"Avoid The Hospital (1)\" width=\"527\" height=\"490\" /> <em>   Stay Out of The Hospital and Avoid Surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics</em>[/caption]\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>No Hospitalization               </strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>No Surgery</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>No Steroids</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>No Drugs Just to Mask Painful Symptoms</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>No General Anesthesia</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<h3><strong>Plus, With Regenerative Orthopedics, You Get:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>Regeneration of Injured Soft Tissue</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Joint Repair</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>No Down Time</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Faster Recovery</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Pain Relief</strong></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>1. No Hospitalization with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\nAt OrthoRegen, we see you and treat you in our medical clinic. <strong>There is no need to go to a hospital! </strong>\n\nPlus, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC is dual degreed as both a<em> medical doctor <strong>and</strong> a chiropractor.</em> And his practice is exclusively Regenerative Orthopedics. That means you get a very experienced practitioner and a leader in regenerative medicine.\n\nAs a medical doctor with years of experience in regenerative medicine, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC will seek out the best natural medicine solution and perform the optimal type of regenerative therapy for you. And that means you get the treatment that\'s right for you and the best treatment possible to repair your joint quickly. And all of these regenerative therapies are available right in our clinic. As a chiropractor, Dr. Fields understands how the joints work. So, you don\'t have to step into the hospital for what is often unnecessary testing. Sure, if further testing is deemed necessary, they can be prescribed. But a chiropractor\'s familiarity with the joints and referral pain makes imaging less necessary.\n\nIn most cases, Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at eliminating joint<a href=\"/Chronic-Pain\"> pain</a> due to ligament and tendon injury 80 to 90 percent of the time. That\'s a high rate of success! Plus, all of these regenerative techniques help to stimulate the body’s ability to repair...naturally.\n<h3>2. No Surgery Is Needed with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\nRegenerative Orthopedics is an in-office injection treatment that both research and medical studies have shown to be an effective, trustworthy, reliable alternative to surgical treatments. We see so many patients in our clinic who are looking to avoid surgery. We are accustomed to that! And we see amazing results. In our opinion, Regenerative Orthopedics is superior to many other treatments in relieving chronic joint and spine pain. Plus, and most importantly, you get back to a happy and active lifestyle without the need for surgery.\n\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is:</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>A viable <strong>alternative to surgery</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>A safe and affordable option</strong> that allows you to keep working and/or training during treatment.</li>\n 	<li>Typically the best treatment to <strong>stabilize and repair injured ligaments and tendons</strong>. Plus, multiple joints and structures can be treated with each visit.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Reparative</strong> in nature. Instead of cutting and removing, it will regenerate and repair the joint.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3><strong>3. No Steroids or Cortisone Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</strong></h3>\nFirst of all, why is this a good thing? <strong>More and more research is pouring in on the detrimental effects of steroids or cortisone </strong><b>injections. Sure, cortisone shots may relieve your pain in the short-term. But they make the problem worse over the long haul.</b>\n\n<strong>Cortisone injections cause:</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\n 	<li>Cartilage surface deterioration</li>\n 	<li>Inhibition of new cartilage growth</li>\n 	<li>A decrease in <strong>protein and matrix synthesis</strong> (which refers to the nutrient and healing bed the cells grow in)</li>\n</ul>\n<h4><em>What do the studies show?</em></h4>\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>Mayo Clinic</strong> says cortisone may hinder the native stem cells in cartilage. \"Studies have shown the deleterious effects of corticosteroids on chondrocytes, suggesting a potentiation of degenerative joint disease.\" And, \"Corticosteroids frequently are used by physicians to reduce inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but these agents may hinder MSCs\' innate regenerative capacity in exchange for temporary analgesia.\" <strong>What are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?</strong> They are the building blocks of cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissue. And cortisone threatens their ability to build and repair in exchange for temporary pain relief.1</li>\n</ul>\n<h4><em>Many Physicians Routinely Use Cortisone When It Is Damaging to the Joint. We Do Not!</em></h4>\n<ul>\n 	<li>Another study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine revealed that \"The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. In addition, methylprednisolone did not mitigate the inflammatory effects of IL-1beta; rather, <strong>it further potentiated the chondrotoxicity.</strong>\"2</li>\n</ul>\nSo we can see that intra-articular injections of corticosteroids are toxic to the joint even though they are widely used in clinical practice. The truth is – <strong>When injected into joints, corticosteroids trigger cartilage cell death!</strong> Plus, they also suppress healing by their innate mechanism of action, which suppresses the immune system and blocks inflammation.\n<h3>4. No Drugs Just to Mask or Chase Pain...Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\nWe don\'t use addictive pain medications or other medications that just mask or chase the pain. In Regenerative Orthopedics, all of the therapies are natural treatment techniques. For example, the primary ingredient in the Prolotherapy injections is dextrose. This technique involves using the simple and safe base solution dextrose, which is given into and around the entire painful/injured area(s). Why treat the whole area? All of the affected areas are treated comprehensively, so you have the best results.\n\nIf Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended, we use your own blood.  PRP is used for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is a great option to repair particular soft tissue injuries to help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with various types of joint surgery. Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors that are exceptional at tissue repair. Again, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/platelet-rich-plasma-treatments-and-prolotherapy/\">Platelet Rich Plasma</a> naturally accelerates the normal healing process. Plus, it results in tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints.\n\nWhen Stem Cell Therapy is recommended, we use the <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy</a>. This is also a natural technique where we use all four kinds of Regenerative Orthopedics, including your own stem cells, to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\n<h3>5. No General Anesthesia Is Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\nAre you afraid of receiving general anesthesia? With Regenerative Orthopedics, it\'s not necessary! You not only stay out of the hospital and avoid surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics. But you avoid general anesthesia too! Surgery definitely has its risks. And general anesthesia adds to those risks. Especially for older people.\n\nA recent medical journal says, \"Postoperative mortality and complications after geriatric hip fracture surgery remain high despite efforts to improve perioperative care for these patients.\" And concludes, \"We found the use of general anesthesia and conversion from regional to general anesthesia were associated with a higher risk of mortality during the in-hospital stay compared with regional anesthetic techniques... We also found general anesthesia to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause readmission compared with regional.\"3\n\nIt is such a better idea to avoid anesthesia completely. And you can do that with Regenerative Orthopedics.\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is Your Answer to Resolve Joint Pain Without Needing to Go To the Hospital</h3>\nAt OrthoRegen, we use a comprehensive approach and a variety of regenerative techniques. And each treatment is individualized according to your unique needs as a patient. The appropriate technique is recommended depending on you and what is required to produce the best healing results and repair.\n\nAre you experiencing pain and trying to stay out of the hospital? Would you like to avoid surgery too? Regenerative Orthopedics can be your non-surgical alternative. Contact us!

But they make the problem worse over the long haul.</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cortisone injections cause:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage surface deterioration</li>\r\n 	<li>Inhibition of new cartilage growth</li>\r\n 	<li>A decrease of <strong>protein and matrix synthesis</strong> (which refers to the nutrient and healing bed that cells grow in)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>What do the studies show?</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Mayo Clinic</strong> says cortisone may hinder the native stem cells in cartilage. \"Studies have shown the deleterious effects of corticosteroids on chondrocytes, suggesting a potentiation of degenerative joint disease.\" And, \"Corticosteroids frequently are used by physicians to reduce inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but these agents may hinder MSCs\' innate regenerative capacity in exchange for temporary analgesia.\" What are Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)? They are the building blocks of cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissue. And cortisone threatens their ability to build and repair  in exchange for temporary pain relief.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>Physicians Routinely Use Cortisone When It Is Damaging to the Joint</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Another study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine revealed that, \"The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. In addition, methylprednisolone did not mitigate the inflammatory effects of IL-1beta; rather, it further potentiated the chondrotoxicity.\"2</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSo we can see that intra-articular injections of corticosteroids are toxic to the joint even though they are widely used in clinical practice. The truth is – <strong>When injected into joints, corticosteroids trigger cartilage cell death!</strong> Plus, they also suppress healing by their innate mechanism of action of suppressing the immune system and blocking inflammation.\r\n<h3>No Drugs Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nWe don\'t use addictive pain medications or any other medication. In Regenerative Orthopedics, all of the therapies are natural treatment techniques. For example, the primary ingredient in the Prolotherapy injections is dextrose. This technique involves using the simple and safe base solution dextrose that is given into and around the entire painful/injured area(s). And the entire joint is treated so you have the best results.\r\n\r\nIf Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended, we use your own blood.  PRP is used for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is a great option to repair particular soft tissue injuries to help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with various types of joint surgery. Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors that are exceptional at tissue repair. Again, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/platelet-rich-plasma-treatments-and-prolotherapy/\">Platelet Rich Plasma</a> naturally accelerates the normal healing process. Plus, it results in tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\r\n\r\nWhen Stem Cell Therapy is recommended, we use the <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy</a>. This is also a natural technique where we use all four kinds of Regenerative Orthopedics, including your own stem cells, to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<h3>No Anesthesia Is Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAre you afraid of getting anesthesia? With Regenerative Orthopedics, it\'s not necessary! You not only stay out of the hospital and avoid surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics. But you avoid anesthesia too! Surgery has its risks. And anesthesia adds to those risks. Especially for older people.\r\n\r\nA recent medical journal says, \"Postoperative mortality and complications after geriatric hip fracture surgery remain high despite efforts to improve perioperative care for these patients.\" And concludes, \"We found the use of general anesthesia and conversion from regional to general anesthesia were associated with a higher risk of mortality during the in-hospital stay compared with regional anesthetic techniques... We also found general anesthesia to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause readmission compared with regional.\"3\r\n\r\nIt is such a better idea to avoid anesthesia completely. And you can do that with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is Your Answer to Resolve Joint Pain Without Needing to Go To the Hospital</h3>\r\nWith a comprehensive approach at OrthoRegen, we utilize a variety of regenerative techniques. And each treatment is individualizing according to your unique needs as a patient.

And those who have a joint that hurts, but still want to exercise, may choose bicycling instead of running, or swimming instead of hiking, because their knee or hip hurts too much. And we try over-the-counter medications, rest, physical therapy, acupuncture, manipulation, and whatever else we can find for relief. But somehow that pain either never goes away or just keeps coming back. But there is another way! Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy is one of the best ways to get relief from your pain without the need for surgery.\r\n<h3>With Regenerative Orthopedics There Is:</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4538\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4538\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Avoid-the-hospital-1-500x466.png\" alt=\"Avoid The Hospital (1)\" width=\"500\" height=\"466\" /> <em>  Stay Out of The Hospital and Avoid Surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics</em>[/caption]\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Hospitalization               </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Steroids</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Drugs</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Anesthesia</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Plus, With Regenerative Orthopedics You Get:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Pain Relief</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Fast Recovery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Joint Repair</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regeneration of Injured Soft Tissue</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Down Time</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>No Hospitalization with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we see you in our medical clinic.

But for some, that pain either never goes away, or it just keeps coming back.\r\n\r\n<strong>There is another way!</strong> Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, is one of the best ways to get relief from your pain without hospitalization or the need for surgery.\r\n<h3>With Regenerative Orthopedics, There Is:</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4538\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"489\"]<img class=\" wp-image-4538\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Avoid-the-hospital-1-500x466.png\" alt=\"Avoid The Hospital (1)\" width=\"489\" height=\"455\" /> <em>  Stay Out of The Hospital and Avoid Surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics</em>[/caption]\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Hospitalization               </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Steroids</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Drugs</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Anesthesia</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Plus, With Regenerative Orthopedics, You Get:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Pain Relief</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Fast Recovery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Joint Repair</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regeneration of Injured Soft Tissue</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Down Time</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>1. No Hospitalization with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we see you and treat you in our medical clinic. <strong>There is no need to go to a hospital! </strong>\r\n\r\nPlus, Dr. Peter Fields is dual degreed as both a<em> medical doctor <strong>and</strong> a chiropractor.</em> And his practice is exclusively Regenerative Orthopedics. That means you get a very experienced practitioner.\r\n\r\nAs a chiropractor, he understands how the joints work. So, you don\'t have to step into the hospital for what is often unnecessary testing. Sure, if further testing is deemed necessary, they can be prescribed. But a chiropractor\'s familiarity with the joints and referral pain makes imaging less necessary. Plus, as a medical doctor with years of experience in regenerative medicine, he is able to recommend and perform the best type of regenerative therapy for you. And that means you get the right treatment for you and the best treatment to repair your joint quickly. And all of these regenerative therapies are available right in our clinic.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at eliminating joint<a href=\"/Chronic-Pain\"> pain</a> due to ligament and tendon injury 80 to 90 percent of the time. That\'s a high rate of success! Plus, all of these regenerative techniques help to stimulate the body’s ability to repair...naturally.\r\n<h3>2. No Surgery Is Needed with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is an in-office injection treatment that both research and medical studies have shown to be an effective, trustworthy, reliable alternative to surgical treatments. We see so many patients in our clinic who are looking to avoid surgery. We are accustomed to that! And we see amazing results. In our opinion, Regenerative Orthopedics is superior to many other treatments in relieving chronic joint and spine pain. Plus, and most importantly, you get back to a happy and active lifestyle without the need for surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A viable <strong>alternative to surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>A safe and affordable option</strong> that allows you to keep working and/or training during treatment.</li>\r\n 	<li>Typically the best treatment to <strong>stabilize and repair injured ligaments and tendons</strong>. Plus, multiple joints and structures can be treated with each visit.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Reparative</strong> in nature. Instead of cutting and removing, it will regenerate and repair the joint.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>3. No Steroids or Cortisone Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</strong></h3>\r\nFirst of all, why is this a good thing? <strong>More and more research is pouring in on the detrimental effects of steroids or cortisone </strong><b>injections. Sure, cortisone shots may relieve your pain in the short-term. But they make the problem worse over the long haul.</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cortisone injections cause:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage surface deterioration</li>\r\n 	<li>Inhibition of new cartilage growth</li>\r\n 	<li>A decrease in <strong>protein and matrix synthesis</strong> (which refers to the nutrient and healing bed the cells grow in)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>What do the studies show?</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Mayo Clinic</strong> says cortisone may hinder the native stem cells in cartilage. \"Studies have shown the deleterious effects of corticosteroids on chondrocytes, suggesting a potentiation of degenerative joint disease.\" And, \"Corticosteroids frequently are used by physicians to reduce inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but these agents may hinder MSCs\' innate regenerative capacity in exchange for temporary analgesia.\" <strong>What are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?</strong> They are the building blocks of cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissue. And cortisone threatens their ability to build and repair in exchange for temporary pain relief.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>Many Physicians Routinely Use Cortisone When It Is Damaging to the Joint. We Do Not!</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Another study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine revealed that \"The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. In addition, methylprednisolone did not mitigate the inflammatory effects of IL-1beta; rather, <strong>it further potentiated the chondrotoxicity.</strong>\"2</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSo we can see that intra-articular injections of corticosteroids are toxic to the joint even though they are widely used in clinical practice. The truth is – <strong>When injected into joints, corticosteroids trigger cartilage cell death!</strong> Plus, they also suppress healing by their innate mechanism of action, which suppresses the immune system and blocks inflammation.\r\n<h3>4. No Drugs Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nWe don\'t use addictive pain medications or any other medication. In Regenerative Orthopedics, all of the therapies are natural treatment techniques. For example, the primary ingredient in the Prolotherapy injections is dextrose. This technique involves using the simple and safe base solution dextrose, which is given into and around the entire painful/injured area(s). Why treat the whole area? All of the affected areas are treated comprehensively, so you have the best results.\r\n\r\nIf Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended, we use your own blood.  PRP is used for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is a great option to repair particular soft tissue injuries to help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with various types of joint surgery. Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors that are exceptional at tissue repair. Again, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/platelet-rich-plasma-treatments-and-prolotherapy/\">Platelet Rich Plasma</a> naturally accelerates the normal healing process. Plus, it results in tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints.\r\n\r\nWhen Stem Cell Therapy is recommended, we use the <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy</a>. This is also a natural technique where we use all four kinds of Regenerative Orthopedics, including your own stem cells, to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<h3>5. No Anesthesia Is Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAre you afraid of getting anesthesia? With Regenerative Orthopedics, it\'s not necessary! You not only stay out of the hospital and avoid surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics. But you avoid anesthesia too! Surgery definitely has its risks. And anesthesia adds to those risks. Especially for older people.\r\n\r\nA recent medical journal says, \"Postoperative mortality and complications after geriatric hip fracture surgery remain high despite efforts to improve perioperative care for these patients.\" And concludes, \"We found the use of general anesthesia and conversion from regional to general anesthesia were associated with a higher risk of mortality during the in-hospital stay compared with regional anesthetic techniques... We also found general anesthesia to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause readmission compared with regional.\"3\r\n\r\nIt is such a better idea to avoid anesthesia completely. And you can do that with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is Your Answer to Resolve Joint Pain Without Needing to Go To the Hospital</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we use a comprehensive approach and a variety of regenerative techniques. And each treatment is individualized according to your unique needs as a patient. The appropriate technique is recommended depending on you and what is required to produce the best healing results and repair.\r\n\r\nAre you experiencing pain and trying to stay out of the hospital? Would you like to avoid surgery too? Regenerative Orthopedics can be your non-surgical alternative. Contact us!

In this article, we are not referring to a catastrophic neck injury, but one that very often may be considered \"minor.\" Yet the sufferer still lives with symptoms that alter their ability to live normally. The cause may very well be cervical instability, a disorder of the neck or cervical spine that can result in a myriad of symptoms.\r\n<h3>The Uniqueness of the Cervical Spine</h3>\r\nThe neck is unique because it consists of vertebrae that are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck or cervical spine is necessary in order to move the head through all the different ranges of motion we put it through. Blood is also transported through the neck on the way to the brain by means of the vertebral artery. The artery goes up through an opening called the transverse foramina in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nWhy are these features important when discussing neck pain, symptoms, and instability? Well first of all, although the mobility of the neck is great and necessary in order to get things done and function like we like to, this same feature makes the neck vulnerable to injury.\r\n<h3>Ligaments are Affected by Neck Injuries Too. And When Injured, Cause Cervical Instability and Pain!</h3>\r\nSecondly, when an injury to the neck occurs, ligaments are affected. The ligaments are structures that are primarily responsible for joining bones. And they are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally. And that\'s because it is remaining in proper alignment. Plus, proper alignment and function protects the blood vessels, nerves, and spinal cord. But an injury to the ligaments changes this whole dynamic because it causes the cervical spine to become unstable.\r\n\r\nAn unstable cervical spine cannot provide adequate support to function properly. But why does the instability make a difference? The instability alters the alignment of the neck which creates a cycle of imbalance between the different neck structures. It also causes too much movement of the neighboring vertebrae. And that stresses the ligaments that support the vertebrae. It also puts undue pressure on the nerve endings within those structures. The result is neck pain! A host of other possible symptoms are set into motion as a result of the various blood vessels and nerves running through the neck vertebrae.\r\n<h2><strong>Whiplash Injuries Are Examples of Cervical Instability </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3311\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-1-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />People who have experienced whiplash, often have symptoms that seem to last and last. <em>These symptoms are frequently a result of the instability of the vertebrae of the neck, or cervical instability.</em>\r\n\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common cause of cervical instability. The head is literally “whipped” in these injuries. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear-end collisions is an example of whiplash. During whiplash, a severe flexion is generated followed by an extension of the neck, in a whip-type motion forward and backward.\r\n\r\nThe backward hyperextension is often associated with more injury to the muscles and ligaments because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meets the chest in the forward “whip.” Excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments. This motion also compresses the adjoining vertebrae.\r\n\r\nLet\'s consider a person who is looking in the rearview mirror at the time of the collision. The rotated neck position puts the ligaments in even greater vulnerability for injury. Why? Well, these particular ligaments are those that help in side to side head movements and they are more susceptible when in this position.\r\n\r\nAs the ligaments become weaker, they are unable to provide a stable neck structure.  And that leads to even more injury and an ongoing provocation of the nerve endings. The ongoing provocation alters a part of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). And then the SNS becomes increasingly activated. The result of an overactive SNS is a myriad of symptoms, including a syndrome of symptoms referred to as Barré-Liéou Syndrome. We\'ll talk about some of the symptoms of cervical instability below.\r\n<h3><strong>What Are the Symptoms of Cervical Instability?</strong></h3>\r\nSymptoms of neck instability or cervical instability include neck pain, muscle spasms, cracking sounds, and numbness in the arms and legs. Also, remember how we discussed the unique anatomical relationship of the vertebral arteries through the transverse foramina?\r\n\r\nInstability of the neck can cause a change in the flow of the arterial blood through the vertebrae when they are moving excessively. The vertebral artery provides circulation to half of the brain. Therefore, the extra mobile vertebrae can pinch off this artery, fostering an insufficiency of blood supply as it travels up to the brain. The condition is called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). Symptoms of VBI include neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, dizziness, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and disturbances in hearing and vision.\r\n<h3><strong>Repair the Neck, And Relieve the Pain of Cervical Instability with Regenerative Orthopedics</strong></h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3310\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"wp-image-3310 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Cervivcal-Instability-v271119-500x500.png\" alt=\"An Answer for Life Altering Neck Pain and Instability\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>       Repair the spine &amp; Relieve Cervical Instability Symptoms</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAll of these symptoms can perplex many clinicians. Meanwhile, the sufferer lives with debilitating symptoms. Oftentimes, they go from doctor to doctor, seeking some type of relief from the many and varied symptoms they experience.\r\n\r\nChiropractors do a great job at not only assessing these problems but treating them.  But when Chiropractors are not able to solve the problem or find a complete solution, one must look elsewhere.\r\n\r\nTalk with your chiropractor about Regenerative Orthopedics and what it can do to save your neck from surgery. Many chiropractors know Peter A. Fields, MD, DC, and have heard him lecture, as Dr. Fields is both an MD and a chiropractor.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is actually a great solution to the puzzle of neck pain and cervical instability. Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy are types of regenerative therapies that repair the injured ligaments at the core of the problem. Regenerative Orthopedics involves regenerative injection therapies that tighten, repair, and regenerate the ligaments involved in neck instability. The treatments eliminate the unstable movement, associated neck pain, and multiple symptoms.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is a safe non-surgical option that brings stability back to the neck and its structures, which results in increased functional ability. Those who suffer from all of these symptoms as a result of the instability of the neck or cervical spine can finally get relief from this life-altering condition.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/\"> Click here for more articles</a>','Cervical Instability: Neck Pain That Changes Your Life','','inherit','closed','closed','','3301-revision-v1','','','2021-03-09 03:03:00','2021-03-09 03:03:00','',3301,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/3301-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4544,9,'2021-03-12 03:46:23','2021-03-12 03:46:23','<h3>Why Choose OrthoRegen<strong><sup>®</sup></strong>?</h3>\nAt OrthoRegen<strong><sup>®</sup></strong>, we want to help you achieve your goals of optimal health and sustained wellness.

But some can actually make you worse, or affect different parts of the body in a negative way. What good is it if it cures your specific ailment only to give you a different one.\r\n\r\nWhen you make a financial investment, you measure it by how much it grows each year. Investing in your health pays off in many different ways: wellness, health stability, quality of life, energy, happiness and more. There is an underlying cause for each of your symptoms and that will take time and effort on our part and yours to find out what that may be. For this reason, more and more people are starting to get concerned about and involved in, their own health care. Just treating the symptoms will not make the problem go away; one must get to the cause of the problem and fix that. This approach is what Integrative/Holistic medicine is all about.\r\n\r\nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the key factors influencing an individual\'s state of health have not changed significantly over the past 20 years. Heredity accounts for 18% and the environment is 19%. Everyday lifestyle choices are 53%. The decisions people make about their life and habits are therefore by far the largest factor in determining their state of wellness.\r\n\r\nPeter A.

We will do so using the most effective, least invasive path. After all, this is your health that we are talking about.\r\n<h4><strong>The Future of Your Health in This Changing World</strong></h4>\r\nInvesting in your health is now more important than ever. Most of us are looking for ways to keep our immune system strong so we don\'t get sick. It is a new world out there! And we all want to do everything we can to avoid the hospital!  Since the future of health care is changing, you must know what choices are available to you.\r\n<h3>OrthoRegen Is Exclusively a Regenerative Orthopedics Medical Office</h3>\r\nThe medical office of OrthoRegen offers Regenerative Orthopedics exclusively. We don\'t do surgery. And we don\'t use anesthesia. Nor do we give out a bunch of medications. Plus, we don\'t just dabble in regenerative medicine or do a procedure once in a while. That\'s all we do. And we have been offering regenerative medicine options for many, many years. So that means your practitioners are very experienced.\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, our goal is to ensure that you will have an exceptional experience throughout your entire process. <strong>We offer safe, expedient, and effective treatments to resolve many painful conditions without the need for surgery.</strong> And when more advanced treatment is needed, such as in cases of very degenerated joints, OrthoRegen offers the state-of-the-art Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy. What does that mean? The Gold Standard refers to four different types of regenerative therapies. That\'s four! Most clinics use just one.\r\n\r\nAnd that\'s why many Los Angeles residents choose us as their regenerative medicine alternative to surgery and joint replacement. With all of that regenerative capability, in most cases, we can resolve the majority of painful musculoskeletal conditions and ultimately enhance the quality of your life and get you back to the activities you love.\r\n<h3>Peter A. Fields, MD, DC Is An Athlete Too</h3>\r\nAs an athlete himself, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC, also understands how important it is to stay in the game.  That, along with his extensive expertise, ensures a higher level of ability and understanding as a regenerative medicine physician because his experience encompasses a much broader knowledge base.\r\n<h3>Dr. Peter A. Fields is Dual Degreed as Both a Medical Doctor <strong>and</strong> a Chiropractor</h3>\r\nPlus, Dr. Peter Fields is dual degreed as both a<em> medical doctor <strong>and</strong> a chiropractor. </em>As a chiropractor, he understands the ins and out of every joint. That helps ensure that you won\'t need all of the imaging that many physicians order due to their lack of experience in locating the problem via manual examination. Sure, if further testing is deemed necessary, it can be prescribed. But a chiropractor\'s familiarity with the joints and possible referral pain patterns makes imaging less necessary.\r\n\r\nAs a medical doctor with years of experience in regenerative medicine, he can recommend and perform the best type of regenerative therapy that is right for you. And that means you get the right treatment for you and the best possible treatment to repair your joint.  And all of these regenerative therapies are available right in our clinic.\r\n\r\nOrthoRegen has provided hope for patients from all over who are trying to avoid joint surgery.

Who would blame us?! So, we do everything we can think of to keep going and keep moving, even if we are hurting. And those who have an injured joint, who still want to exercise, may choose bicycling instead of running, or swimming instead of hiking. That way, they can still keep exercising since there is less stress on the joint and less pain with the different activities.\r\n\r\nAnd we may also try over-the-counter medications, rest, physical therapy, acupuncture, manipulation, and whatever else we can possibly find in an effort to get relief. But for some, that pain either never goes away, or it just keeps coming back.\r\n\r\n<strong>There is another way!</strong> Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, is one of the best ways to get relief from your pain without hospitalization or the need for surgery.\r\n<h3>With Regenerative Orthopedics, There Is:</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4538\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"489\"]<img class=\" wp-image-4538\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Avoid-the-hospital-1-500x466.png\" alt=\"Avoid The Hospital (1)\" width=\"489\" height=\"455\" /> <em>  Stay Out of The Hospital and Avoid Surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics</em>[/caption]\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Hospitalization               </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Steroids</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Drugs Just to Mask Painful Symptoms</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Anesthesia</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Plus, With Regenerative Orthopedics, You Get:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regeneration of Injured Soft Tissue</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Joint Repair</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>No Down Time</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Faster Recovery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Pain Relief</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>1. No Hospitalization with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we see you and treat you in our medical clinic. <strong>There is no need to go to a hospital! </strong>\r\n\r\nPlus, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC is dual degreed as both a<em> medical doctor <strong>and</strong> a chiropractor.</em> And his practice is exclusively Regenerative Orthopedics. That means you get a very experienced practitioner and a leader in regenerative medicine.\r\n\r\nAs a medical doctor with years of experience in regenerative medicine, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC will seek out the best natural medicine solution and perform the optimal type of regenerative therapy for you. And that means you get the treatment that\'s right for you and the best treatment possible to repair your joint quickly. And all of these regenerative therapies are available right in our clinic. As a chiropractor, Dr. Fields understands how the joints work. So, you don\'t have to step into the hospital for what is often unnecessary testing. Sure, if further testing is deemed necessary, they can be prescribed. But a chiropractor\'s familiarity with the joints and referral pain makes imaging less necessary.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at eliminating joint<a href=\"/Chronic-Pain\"> pain</a> due to ligament and tendon injury 80 to 90 percent of the time. That\'s a high rate of success! Plus, all of these regenerative techniques help to stimulate the body’s ability to repair...naturally.\r\n<h3>2. No Surgery Is Needed with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is an in-office injection treatment that both research and medical studies have shown to be an effective, trustworthy, reliable alternative to surgical treatments. We see so many patients in our clinic who are looking to avoid surgery. We are accustomed to that! And we see amazing results. In our opinion, Regenerative Orthopedics is superior to many other treatments in relieving chronic joint and spine pain. Plus, and most importantly, you get back to a happy and active lifestyle without the need for surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A viable <strong>alternative to surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>A safe and affordable option</strong> that allows you to keep working and/or training during treatment.</li>\r\n 	<li>Typically the best treatment to <strong>stabilize and repair injured ligaments and tendons</strong>. Plus, multiple joints and structures can be treated with each visit.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Reparative</strong> in nature. Instead of cutting and removing, it will regenerate and repair the joint.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>3. No Steroids or Cortisone Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</strong></h3>\r\nFirst of all, why is this a good thing? <strong>More and more research is pouring in on the detrimental effects of steroids or cortisone </strong><b>injections. Sure, cortisone shots may relieve your pain in the short-term. But they make the problem worse over the long haul.</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cortisone injections cause:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage surface deterioration</li>\r\n 	<li>Inhibition of new cartilage growth</li>\r\n 	<li>A decrease in <strong>protein and matrix synthesis</strong> (which refers to the nutrient and healing bed the cells grow in)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>What do the studies show?</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Mayo Clinic</strong> says cortisone may hinder the native stem cells in cartilage. \"Studies have shown the deleterious effects of corticosteroids on chondrocytes, suggesting a potentiation of degenerative joint disease.\" And, \"Corticosteroids frequently are used by physicians to reduce inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but these agents may hinder MSCs\' innate regenerative capacity in exchange for temporary analgesia.\" <strong>What are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?</strong> They are the building blocks of cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissue. And cortisone threatens their ability to build and repair in exchange for temporary pain relief.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>Many Physicians Routinely Use Cortisone When It Is Damaging to the Joint. We Do Not!</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Another study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine revealed that \"The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. In addition, methylprednisolone did not mitigate the inflammatory effects of IL-1beta; rather, <strong>it further potentiated the chondrotoxicity.</strong>\"2</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSo we can see that intra-articular injections of corticosteroids are toxic to the joint even though they are widely used in clinical practice. The truth is – <strong>When injected into joints, corticosteroids trigger cartilage cell death!</strong> Plus, they also suppress healing by their innate mechanism of action, which suppresses the immune system and blocks inflammation.\r\n<h3>4. No Drugs Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nWe don\'t use addictive pain medications or any other medication. In Regenerative Orthopedics, all of the therapies are natural treatment techniques. For example, the primary ingredient in the Prolotherapy injections is dextrose. This technique involves using the simple and safe base solution dextrose, which is given into and around the entire painful/injured area(s). Why treat the whole area? All of the affected areas are treated comprehensively, so you have the best results.\r\n\r\nIf Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended, we use your own blood.  PRP is used for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is a great option to repair particular soft tissue injuries to help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with various types of joint surgery. Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors that are exceptional at tissue repair. Again, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/platelet-rich-plasma-treatments-and-prolotherapy/\">Platelet Rich Plasma</a> naturally accelerates the normal healing process. Plus, it results in tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints.\r\n\r\nWhen Stem Cell Therapy is recommended, we use the <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy</a>. This is also a natural technique where we use all four kinds of Regenerative Orthopedics, including your own stem cells, to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<h3>5. No Anesthesia Is Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAre you afraid of getting anesthesia? With Regenerative Orthopedics, it\'s not necessary! You not only stay out of the hospital and avoid surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics. But you avoid anesthesia too! Surgery definitely has its risks. And anesthesia adds to those risks. Especially for older people.\r\n\r\nA recent medical journal says, \"Postoperative mortality and complications after geriatric hip fracture surgery remain high despite efforts to improve perioperative care for these patients.\" And concludes, \"We found the use of general anesthesia and conversion from regional to general anesthesia were associated with a higher risk of mortality during the in-hospital stay compared with regional anesthetic techniques... We also found general anesthesia to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause readmission compared with regional.\"3\r\n\r\nIt is such a better idea to avoid anesthesia completely. And you can do that with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is Your Answer to Resolve Joint Pain Without Needing to Go To the Hospital</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we use a comprehensive approach and a variety of regenerative techniques. And each treatment is individualized according to your unique needs as a patient. The appropriate technique is recommended depending on you and what is required to produce the best healing results and repair.\r\n\r\nAre you experiencing pain and trying to stay out of the hospital?

Fields, MD, DC is dual degreed as both a<em> medical doctor <strong>and</strong> a chiropractor.</em> And his practice is exclusively Regenerative Orthopedics. That means you get a very experienced practitioner and a leader in regenerative medicine.\r\n\r\nAs a medical doctor with years of experience in regenerative medicine, Peter A. Fields, MD, DC will seek out the best natural medicine solution and perform the optimal type of regenerative therapy for you. And that means you get the treatment that\'s right for you and the best treatment possible to repair your joint quickly. And all of these regenerative therapies are available right in our clinic. As a chiropractor, Dr. Fields understands how the joints work. So, you don\'t have to step into the hospital for what is often unnecessary testing. Sure, if further testing is deemed necessary, they can be prescribed. But a chiropractor\'s familiarity with the joints and referral pain makes imaging less necessary.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at eliminating joint<a href=\"/Chronic-Pain\"> pain</a> due to ligament and tendon injury 80 to 90 percent of the time. That\'s a high rate of success! Plus, all of these regenerative techniques help to stimulate the body’s ability to repair...naturally.\r\n<h3>2. No Surgery Is Needed with Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is an in-office injection treatment that both research and medical studies have shown to be an effective, trustworthy, reliable alternative to surgical treatments. We see so many patients in our clinic who are looking to avoid surgery. We are accustomed to that! And we see amazing results. In our opinion, Regenerative Orthopedics is superior to many other treatments in relieving chronic joint and spine pain. Plus, and most importantly, you get back to a happy and active lifestyle without the need for surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A viable <strong>alternative to surgery</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>A safe and affordable option</strong> that allows you to keep working and/or training during treatment.</li>\r\n 	<li>Typically the best treatment to <strong>stabilize and repair injured ligaments and tendons</strong>. Plus, multiple joints and structures can be treated with each visit.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Reparative</strong> in nature. Instead of cutting and removing, it will regenerate and repair the joint.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>3. No Steroids or Cortisone Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</strong></h3>\r\nFirst of all, why is this a good thing? <strong>More and more research is pouring in on the detrimental effects of steroids or cortisone </strong><b>injections. Sure, cortisone shots may relieve your pain in the short-term. But they make the problem worse over the long haul.</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cortisone injections cause:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\r\n 	<li>Cartilage surface deterioration</li>\r\n 	<li>Inhibition of new cartilage growth</li>\r\n 	<li>A decrease in <strong>protein and matrix synthesis</strong> (which refers to the nutrient and healing bed the cells grow in)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>What do the studies show?</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Mayo Clinic</strong> says cortisone may hinder the native stem cells in cartilage. \"Studies have shown the deleterious effects of corticosteroids on chondrocytes, suggesting a potentiation of degenerative joint disease.\" And, \"Corticosteroids frequently are used by physicians to reduce inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but these agents may hinder MSCs\' innate regenerative capacity in exchange for temporary analgesia.\" <strong>What are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?</strong> They are the building blocks of cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissue. And cortisone threatens their ability to build and repair in exchange for temporary pain relief.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><em>Many Physicians Routinely Use Cortisone When It Is Damaging to the Joint. We Do Not!</em></h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Another study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine revealed that \"The combination of methylprednisolone and lidocaine was toxic, with virtually no cells surviving after treatment. In addition, methylprednisolone did not mitigate the inflammatory effects of IL-1beta; rather, <strong>it further potentiated the chondrotoxicity.</strong>\"2</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSo we can see that intra-articular injections of corticosteroids are toxic to the joint even though they are widely used in clinical practice. The truth is – <strong>When injected into joints, corticosteroids trigger cartilage cell death!</strong> Plus, they also suppress healing by their innate mechanism of action, which suppresses the immune system and blocks inflammation.\r\n<h3>4. No Drugs Are Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nWe don\'t use addictive pain medications or any other medication. In Regenerative Orthopedics, all of the therapies are natural treatment techniques. For example, the primary ingredient in the Prolotherapy injections is dextrose. This technique involves using the simple and safe base solution dextrose, which is given into and around the entire painful/injured area(s). Why treat the whole area? All of the affected areas are treated comprehensively, so you have the best results.\r\n\r\nIf Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is recommended, we use your own blood.  PRP is used for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is a great option to repair particular soft tissue injuries to help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with various types of joint surgery. Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors that are exceptional at tissue repair. Again, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/platelet-rich-plasma-treatments-and-prolotherapy/\">Platelet Rich Plasma</a> naturally accelerates the normal healing process. Plus, it results in tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints.\r\n\r\nWhen Stem Cell Therapy is recommended, we use the <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy</a>. This is also a natural technique where we use all four kinds of Regenerative Orthopedics, including your own stem cells, to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<h3>5. No Anesthesia Is Used in Regenerative Orthopedics:</h3>\r\nAre you afraid of getting anesthesia? With Regenerative Orthopedics, it\'s not necessary! You not only stay out of the hospital and avoid surgery with Regenerative Orthopedics. But you avoid anesthesia too! Surgery definitely has its risks. And anesthesia adds to those risks. Especially for older people.\r\n\r\nA recent medical journal says, \"Postoperative mortality and complications after geriatric hip fracture surgery remain high despite efforts to improve perioperative care for these patients.\" And concludes, \"We found the use of general anesthesia and conversion from regional to general anesthesia were associated with a higher risk of mortality during the in-hospital stay compared with regional anesthetic techniques... We also found general anesthesia to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause readmission compared with regional.\"3\r\n\r\nIt is such a better idea to avoid anesthesia completely. And you can do that with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics Is Your Answer to Resolve Joint Pain Without Needing to Go To the Hospital</h3>\r\nAt OrthoRegen, we use a comprehensive approach and a variety of regenerative techniques.
