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

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

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

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

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

It is important for the injections to be given at the right spot, such as where the tendon connects to the bone, in order to receive maximum benefit. The injections are relatively painless and take only a few minutes.\r\n\r\nYou are then sent home to rest. And you will gradually begin working your damaged joint according to an agreed therapy schedule. It is important to follow the instructions given by Dr. Fields. You may be required to take follow-up injections, depending on the efficacy of the initial treatment. These injections will be spaced over a period of time to give your body the best chance to heal.\r\n\r\nOnce your Prolotherapy injection regimen is complete, you should enjoy the kind of change for the better in joint mobility and pain level that many patients of Dr. Fields have experienced. Your medical caregivers will continue to monitor you for some time to ensure that your Prolotherapy treatments are a success.\r\n<h4>Los Angeles Prolotherapy</h4>\r\nPeter A.

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

Leg-length discrepancies, an abnormally tilted pelvis, or bowed legs can cause the iliotibial band to become excessively tight or loose, which will increase the friction when the band as it crosses back and forth across the epicondyle, and change the stressors on the joint structures due to the abnormal way the anatomic issues cause the joint to move. All all of this will increase irritation, injury, and pain.\r\n<h3><em> Poor Training Habits: </em></h3>\r\nPoor training habits can have the same effect on the iliotibial band as the anatomic issues do. For example, runners who tend to always run on the same side of the road may repeatedly have one leg moving slightly downhill compared to the other. Also, always running downhill stresses the band. And cycling with the foot rotated inwards will increase the angle at which the band crosses over the epicondyle. All of these repeated activities can irritate the iliotibial band.\r\n<h3><b>Treatment for Iliotibial Band Syndrome</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conservative treatment, including rest, modification of activity, and physical therapy are commonly recommended. Surgery to cut the IT band and “release” tension are occasionally recommended for cases that will not resolve, but conservative treatment should be sought first. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the IT band and associated muscles are “tight,” a lot of strain is put on the ligaments, making muscle stretching and massage beneficial. The affected ligaments need to be treated as well because all of the involved structures become weakened by the abnormal motion. The joint instability in the hip and the knee needs to be properly diagnosed and treated in order to find the relief and the desired return to function. </span>\r\n<h3><strong>Treating Iliotibial Band Syndrome with Regenerative Orthopedics</strong></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedics is an effective and promising treatment option that can offer a non-surgical treatment solution for patients with persistent iliotibial band syndrome. Treatment into and around both the hip joint and the knee may very well be needed. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the hip is found to be stable upon evaluation, and the knee alone is affected, then the athlete with iliotibial band syndrome will receive Regenerative Orthopedic treatments to the area on the lower leg where the iliotibial band attaches. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if there are parts of the band itself that are tender, these areas can be treated as well. Generally, after just a couple of treatments, the athlete is able to start to work out again. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedics offers a successful and much-needed alternative by stimulating the body to repair the supportive ligaments around the joints, heal the iliotibial band, as well as promote cartilage regeneration when necessary. The treatment is safe and effective for athletes suffering from chronic lateral knee pain, such as that experienced in iliotibial band syndrome.</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/\"> Click here for more articles</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.orthoregen.com/testimonials/\">Read Patient Testimonials</a>','Iliotibial Band Syndrome Repair','','inherit','closed','closed','','2775-revision-v1','','','2020-10-10 21:59:01','2020-10-10 21:59:01','',2775,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2775-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4235,9,'2020-10-12 17:56:50','2020-10-12 17:56:50','<h3><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1185\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Foods-That-Burn-Fat.jpg\" alt=\"Foods That Burn Fat\" width=\"200\" height=\"313\" />Fat Fighting Foods</h3>\r\nTired of that spare tire? Sick of your love handles? You can increase your body’s fat-burning power by eating more fat fighting foods that strengthen your liver (your body’s main fat-metabolizing organ) to burn fat better. The result? A leaner you! There are many great liver boosting foods, but here are some of my favorites:\r\n<h3><strong>Leafy Greens</strong>:</h3>\r\nSpinach, spring mix, mustard greens, and other dark leafy greens are good sources of fiber and powerhouses of nutrition. Research demonstrates that their high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants helps prevent hunger while protecting you from heart disease, cancer, cataracts, and memory loss.\r\n<h3><strong>Beans and Legumes:</strong></h3>\r\nLegumes are the best source of  fiber of any foods. They help to stabilize blood sugar while keeping you regular. They are also high in potassium, a critical mineral that reduces dehydration and the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.\r\n<h3><strong>Garlic and Onions:</strong></h3>\r\nThis dynamic duo of foods contains phytochemicals that break down fatty deposits in the body. They also breakdown cholesterol; kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi; and protect against heart disease. With a little help from garlic and onions, you can burn fat while warding off illness.\r\n<h3><strong>Cayenne:</strong></h3>\r\nThis hot spice lessens the risk of excess insulin in the body by speeding metabolism and lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels before the excess insulin can result in fat stores. Spice up your next meal with cayenne and lessen those love handles.\r\n<h3><strong>Turmeric:</strong></h3>\r\nThe popular spice used primarily in Indian cooking is one of the highest known sources of beta carotene. It is an antioxidant that helps protect the liver from free radical damage. Turmeric also helps strengthen your liver while helping your body metabolize fats by decreasing the fat storage rate in liver cells. Add a teaspoon of turmeric into your next curry dish to help your body fight fat.\r\n<h3><strong>Cinnamon:</strong></h3>\r\nResearchers at the United States Department of Agriculture showed that a quarter to one teaspoon of cinnamon with food helps metabolize sugar up to twenty times better than food not eaten with cinnamon. Excess sugar in the blood can lead to fat storage. Before you sip that chai tea latte or eat your oatmeal, sprinkle on the cinnamon.\r\n<h3><strong>Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oil:</strong></h3>\r\nThese seeds and oil attract oil-soluble toxins that become lodged in the fatty tissues of the body. Once attracted, they help to escort fat-soluble toxins out. That spells fewer fat stores and a trimmer you.\r\n\r\nAnd if you are having a difficult time choosing to eat healthy foods like vegetables and fruit, it\'s important to remember to make them look good and palatable. Keep in mind that we are bombarded constantly with junk food advertisements.

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

Fields, MD, DC  that covers Stem Cell Prolotherapy. If you\'ve ever wondered what it was all about, this article explains in detail.\r\n\r\nEver wonder how you can regenerative cartilage? Has joint replacement been recommended, but you\'d really rather not go that route? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a> is an effective treatment option that can meet your non-surgical and regenerative joint repair goals.\r\n\r\nStem Cells therapies are definitely a newer treatment option many are seeking. But not all therapies are the same. It\'s important to educate yourself on what this treatment really offers. This is an in-depth article that discusses bone marrow stem cells and adipose stem cells. Peter A. Fields, MD, DC will tell you what they are and how they work.\r\n\r\nThis article is a great place to find out more about a non-surgical alternative to joint replacement with this regenerative injection therapy. And remember...once surgery is done, it cannot be undone! We would like to help you to avoid that scenario!\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. And Stem Cell Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. Plus, Stem Cell Prolotherapy is one of the few treatments that encourages movement after the treatment. That\'s because movement actually aids the healing process. By contrast, surgery requires you reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nWould you like a <strong>second opinion before you have irreversible surgery</strong>? Are you a candidate for Stem Cell Prolotherapy?

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. But the ligaments or tendons are usually injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\n<h3><strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong></h3>\nThese injuries may involve a tear in the <strong>annular ligament</strong>, which wraps around the radius bone to the humerus bone. These ligaments take all the strain when the lower arm turns. Twisting a screwdriver, turning a key or hitting a baseball are all activities that use the annular ligament.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">Elbow pain</a> can also involve tendon injury, as in the cases of tennis or golfer’s elbow. The <strong>extensor tendons</strong> move the wrist up, and in tennis elbow, these can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow, it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong> that get injured, as they move the wrist down. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\n\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\nCommon symptoms of elbow injury are: pain, swelling, numbness, tingling in the arm, weakness, and changes in temperature or colour of the skin. A patient may not remember having a specific injury, especially if symptoms began gradually or during usual activities.\n<h3><strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong></h3>\n<strong>But eighty percent of chronic elbow pain is caused by spraining the annular ligament</strong>, which attaches the radius bone to the ulnar bone. Because of the heavy demands placed on the fingers and hands by performing repetitive tasks, the annular ligament is stressed daily and could become a source of chronic pain. Another source of chronic elbow pain is strain of the ulnar collateral ligament. This ligament supports the inside of the elbow and holds the ulnar bone to the humerus.\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem. That\'s why many patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not remove the cause of the pain.\n\nDr. Fields may be able to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat your chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\n\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\n\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected shoulder ligaments, tendons, or joints. And this leads to gentle, local inflammation in that specific area that boosts healing. Also, the localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. And new collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligaments that were injected, making them stronger.\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Elbow Pain?</h4>\nOur goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process.

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. But the ligaments or tendons are usually injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\r\n<h3><strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong></h3>\r\nThese injuries may involve a tear in the <strong>annular ligament</strong>, which wraps around the radius bone to the humerus bone. These ligaments take all the strain when the lower arm turns. Twisting a screwdriver, turning a key or hitting a baseball are all activities that use the annular ligament.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">Elbow pain</a> can also involve tendon injury, as in the cases of tennis or golfer’s elbow. The <strong>extensor tendons</strong> move the wrist up, and in tennis elbow, these can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow, it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong> that get injured, as they move the wrist down. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\r\n\r\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\r\nCommon symptoms of elbow injury are: pain, swelling, numbness, tingling in the arm, weakness, and changes in temperature or colour of the skin. A patient may not remember having a specific injury, especially if symptoms began gradually or during usual activities.\r\n<h3><strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong></h3>\r\n<strong>But eighty percent of chronic elbow pain is caused by spraining the annular ligament</strong>, which attaches the radius bone to the ulnar bone. Because of the heavy demands placed on the fingers and hands by performing repetitive tasks, the annular ligament is stressed daily and could become a source of chronic pain. Another source of chronic elbow pain is strain of the ulnar collateral ligament. This ligament supports the inside of the elbow and holds the ulnar bone to the humerus.\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\r\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem. That\'s why many patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not remove the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields may be able to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat your chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected shoulder ligaments, tendons, or joints. And this leads to gentle, local inflammation in that specific area that boosts healing. Also, the localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. And new collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligaments that were injected, making them stronger.\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Elbow Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. And Prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment.

Only to continue to suffer from continued back pain. The cycle is an attempt to manage the pain. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might think, “Of course, I want to manage the pain!” But what if there is a better way, and one that actually corrects the back pain problem. Regenerative Orthopedics can stop back pain and the cycle because it repairs the underlying source of pain. Since it treats at the source, it ends up resolving the pain.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chasing symptoms keeps the sufferer in the pain cycle. Correcting the problems with Regenerative Orthopedics can stop back pain and the endless cycle!</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>What Is the Reason Behind Most Back Pain?</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since back pain is so common and a leading cause of disability, it is important to look at the reason for it. The underlying cause of most back pain issues is </span><b><i>spinal instability</i></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is spinal instability you might ask? When you bend and twist and tweak your back, you injure soft tissue, like muscle and ligaments. Muscles have a great blood supply, so they heal quickly. Ligaments have a poor blood supply, and take quite a while to heal. In fact, they heal quite poorly. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unhealed ligaments are weak and lax, similar to stretched out rubber bands. Ligaments connect bone to bone. So if the ligaments are weak, then the bone connection will be weak and wobbly. That bone connection or joint is then unstable. </span>\r\n<h3>The Vertebral Spine</h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vertebral bones in the back make up the spine. So when the ligaments in the spine are weak or wobbly, that makes for spinal instability. When these ligaments remain unhealed, the problem gets worse and worse. The ligaments get more lax and the spine becomes more unstable. You can imagine that if the joints of the spine become wobbly, that the bony structures will have difficulty moving like they should. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When motion in the vertebral joint connections stops being smooth, the abnormal motion causes the joint structures to degenerate. Instability and abnormal joint motion is behind all types of painful back conditions. Painful problems like bulging discs, arthritis, sciatica, and degenerative joint disease can result from abnormal motion in the spine.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The underlying problem is ligament weakness, which creates the abnormal joint motion that will eventually damage the joint structures and elicit pain. Pain pills aren’t able to fix the weakened ligaments. And cortisone makes soft tissue weaker. So even if these things provide some short-term relief, they will eventually worsen the problem in the long run. Massage can’t strengthen weakened ligaments either.</span>\r\n<h4><em>Regenerative Orthopedics Can Stop Back Pain</em></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What’s the solution? The degenerative condition needs a regenerative treatment. Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy are all regenerative treatments that strengthen ligaments, restore normal joint motion, and regenerate joint structures. Good quality <a href=\"https://lyfebotanicals.com/health/turmeric-back-pain/\">supplements</a>, like turmeric, which can aid in the healing process, are also of benefit.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ligaments Are Structures that Provide Stability to the Joint</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, the most common cause of unresolved back pain is spinal instability, due to weakened and stretched out ligaments. Ligaments are very important for stability of the spine and for proper motion. In fact, they are some of the main stabilizing structure for the joint. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, those with back pain will definitely complain of muscle spasms and tightness, because muscles help with stability too. But muscles will spasm because they are overcompensating for the inability of the injured ligaments to keep the spine in place. Treatments that relieve muscle spasms will give temporary reprieve of the spasms. But they will not address the ligament weakness. Instability and pain will continue, because the ligaments are unable to hold the adjacent bones of the spine together properly.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>How Can You Stop Back Pain?</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year, thousands and thousands of people are disabled due to some type of painful back condition. Back pain is actually one of the main reasons people come to see us at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>. By the time they come to see us, they have usually tried numerous types of pills, treatments, and even surgery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they are in our office because the pain has not stopped!</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That’s because these other treatments are only short-lived and because they only provide temporary relief. Even surgical treatments end up with poor rates of success. Surgery may emphasize treatment of the disc, for example, but it misses treating the ligament injury which is the originating source of the pain. So pain continues.</span>\r\n<h3>Ligaments Can Refer Pain Too</h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The places where the ligaments attach to the bones are full of nerves, which elicit pain when stretched out or injured. Injured ligaments can send out referral pain down the back of the leg and even to the foot. They can also refer pain into the groin and pelvic floor. If weak ligaments exist, the physician knowledgeable in examination techniques can diagnose instability during the physical examination with varied maneuvers and positioning. Even palpating, or pressing with the thumb at the ligament attachments will elicit pain indicating ligament laxity.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back pain is one of the easiest conditions to treat with Regenerative Orthopedics. Most often, the pain is located in the lower back, where the vertebrae of the lumbar spine meet the pelvis. Four structures adjoin there in a pretty small area, with all of it held together by ligaments, connecting the sacrum to the sides of the iliac crest and the ilium, while the lower part of the lumbar spine connects to the sacrum. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedics to the ligaments in this area strengthens the ligaments and their connecting attachments, making the whole area stronger, more stable, and alleviating the pain. Treatment to the back results in a high rate of improvement, with increased functional abilities, a return to desired activities and exercise, and a reduction and usually the elimination of the need for pain medication. </span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Stop Back Pain with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','2760-revision-v1','','','2020-10-20 17:44:44','2020-10-20 17:44:44','',2760,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2760-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4251,9,'2020-10-20 18:33:50','2020-10-20 18:33:50','<h3>What Is the Cause of Back Pain?</h3>\nAlmost anything can cause back pain.

Subsequently, the new collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Regenerative Orthopedics?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. And Regenerative Orthopedics is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training, and living a normal life during the recovery process. Regenerative Orthopedics for chronic knee pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a>. By contrast, surgery requires you to reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nAre you a candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics for your chronic knee pain? Would you like a <strong>second opinion before you have irreversible knee surgery</strong>? The only way to know for sure is to get a consultation. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact Us today</a> for a consultation or call Peter A.

Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </i>\n\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Testimonials/Cellular-Regeneration-Testimonials/\">Testimonials Page</a>.\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment in Los Angeles?</h4>\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-5586\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/stem-cells.1-400x500.png\" alt=\"Stem Cells.1\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" />\n\nOur Stem Cell technique for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\n<ul>\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to produce a solution with the highest amount of stem cells.

This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\n\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once the surgery is done, it cannot be undone!</em></strong>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\nStem cells are contained within the bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross-reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\n\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments, and more.  All this allows for the repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone, and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments, and tendons.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\nOn the other hand, adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle, or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate the above tissues and to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar but not identical to bone marrow cells.\n\n<img class=\"wp-image-5587 size-medium\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/stem-cells.-1-500x500.png\" alt=\"Stem Cells.\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nNot all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries, or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\n\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulate full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\nSeveral human studies have been done using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers successfully studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.\n\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-735 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity, and marrow-stimulation procedures such as microfracture, osteochondral grafts, and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients, the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\n\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\n<h3><strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong></h3>\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near-normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\n\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1-year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\n\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-735 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n<h3><strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong></h3>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Surgery can always be done but never un-done, which is why people in increasing numbers are seeking non-surgical alternatives to joint and spine surgery. Cutting out a part of a joint or injecting it with steroids is not the answer. Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </i>\r\n\r\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Testimonials/Cellular-Regeneration-Testimonials/\">Testimonials Page</a>.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment?</h4>\r\nStem Cell Treatment for Joints and Spine is a great alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft wp-image-732 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell1\" width=\"215\" height=\"167\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven.

Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy, or PRP Prolotherapy) are treatments for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury or pain that can help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\n<h4>Why Does PL Treatment Work?</h4>\n[caption id=\"attachment_642\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<img class=\"wp-image-642 size-full\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/running.jpg\" alt=\"Running\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" /> <em>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments can help to keep you running</em>[/caption]\n\nYour blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that can greatly and naturally accelerate the normal healing process. The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n<h4>PRP Treatment vs. Dextrose Prolotherapy Treatment</h4>\nThe main difference between PRP Prolotherapy treatment and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> treatment is the solution being used. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.), which causes an inflammatory response that stimulates the healing process.\n\nBy contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood.

PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\n<h4><em>What does PRP mean?</em></h4>\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood that contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The Harvest Method that OrthoRegen and Peter A.

Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\n<h4><em>What conditions are treated with PRP?</em></h4>\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci, or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures treated.

And it can be weakened by a lot of different things. Eventually, the cumulative injuries cause arthritis to develop. And before long, people find themselves in the surgeon\'s office receiving the news that they need a hip replacement. But do they really?\r\n\r\nHip surgeries are going through the roof. With close to 10 million hip surgeries performed annually. That\'s a lot of surgery. And many of us would prefer to avoid surgery if at all possible.\r\n<h3>Are there treatments that can help me avoid surgery?</h3>\r\nDifferent non-surgical treatments are commonly recommended before the surgical recommendation. These include non-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections. But these treatments are not curative. And although they may help you endure the pain, they will not prevent the eventual hip replacement.\r\n\r\nIt is important to address the cause and not just the effect of the wearing out hip. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Dextrose Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma, and Stem Cell Prolotherapy, are all non-surgical treatment options that get to the root of the problem. They actually stimulate ligament, tendon, and cartilage repair. And most people have pain because of injury to one or all of these structures.\r\n\r\nInjury to soft tissue, like the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, causes the joint to become unstable. And this instability breaks the joint down further. Eventually, the person with a worn-out hip will experience loss of motion. Bone spurs will develop, and the bones will \"bump\" into one another. These symptoms probably sound familiar because they are experienced with arthritis. And pain medication won\'t fix the cause.\r\n\r\nSurgery that takes out parts will alter the structure and function of the joint. Eventually, more surgery will be needed. Yes, surgery is sometimes needed. But unnecessary hip replacements should be avoided.

With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.\n\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"#\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall. But the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells. And it strengthens lax or torn tendons and ligaments. Ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly. These weakened areas may have <strong>little or no blood flow</strong>, but they have lots of nerves. That’s why you may feel a significant amount of pain.\n\nRelaxed and weak ligaments lead to increased cartilage degeneration and finally bone-on-bone friction, which may result in arthritis type pain. Additionally, nerves around the soft tissues become stretched and irritated, also producing pain.\n\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-644\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple1\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" />\n<h4>What is Prolotherapy Treatment Like?</h4>\nThe Prolotherapy technique involves the injection of a proliferant that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. A local anesthetic is used so there is <strong>minimal discomfort</strong> with the injections. This results in a stronger or larger tendon or ligament that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the <strong>patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated</strong>.\n\nProlotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Cortisone-Is-it-Really-Good-for-You\">cortisone injections</a>, which long-term studies have shown can actually weaken tissue.\n\nMost patients require about 4 to 6 Prolotherapy treatments to restore function and relieve pain, but many find improvement after only one session. The treatments are usually given at two to four week intervals.\n\nProlotherapy has been shown to be effective at eliminating the pain of such conditions as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, some headaches, degenerated joints, fibromyalgia, and more.

All we have is 24 hours each day to get done all the things we need to get done. Exercising often takes a back seat to work, shopping, cooking, cleaning, getting the kids ready for school, and ready for bed. And all of the other million-and-one little details that demand our attention every day.\r\n\r\nMost of us have the motivation to exercise. we want to do it and we know it\'s important and good for us. But when to fit it in? A few hardy souls bite the bullet and get up at 5:00 AM - making more time in the day by getting less sleep. Others exercise at the end of a long day, but sometimes that\'s stressful and counterproductive. However they do it, many people make real efforts to exercise a few times each week.\r\n\r\nMost likely - over time - our good intentions get stymied by our daily concerns. Deadlines and scheduling take precedence and the most easy-to-jettison item on our to-do list - exercise - gets lost in the process. And sooner rather than later we\'re back to not exercising at all. Public health experts and policymakers have been struggling, too, with this apparent no-win situation.\r\n\r\nThe outcome is brand-new recommendations relating to short bursts of activity during the day. These three- to five-minute bursts have been studied and shown to provide real health benefits to real people under real-world circumstances.\r\n\r\nInstead of taking coffee breaks at work, people are beginning to take activity breaks. Three to five minutes of climbing office building stairs or brisk walking outside the building or a quick series of calisthenics are all it takes. Six to ten such breaks fulfills the daily requirement of 30 minutes of exercise. No separately scheduled exercise time is necessary. You\'re already at work, you\'re already taking breaks. So the breaks become exercise breaks. And you get your exercise done. And you feel great for the entire day, due to bursts of endorphins occurring throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThese bursts of activity are also ideal for people working at home, as well as for school children. Studies in schools are showing increased attention spans and increased learning as a result of short bursts of intense physical activity.\r\n\r\nEveryone can do this; everyone can have a workable system for getting the exercise they need.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lean Muscle Mass</strong>\r\n\r\nWe often hear that building \"lean muscle mass\" is one of the key benefits of strenuous exercise. The human body adapts to environmental stresses, and building lean muscle mass is an important adaptation. Lean muscle mass is a metabolic furnace - muscle cells are high-energy cells that actually burn calories when your body is at rest.\r\n\r\nYour internal thermostat is turned up owing to your increased amount of lean muscle mass, and so you burn fat to fulfill these increased energy needs.\r\n\r\nLean muscle mass is not only energy-efficient, but it is also much more shapely than the pounds of fat it replaces. Lean muscle mass creates long lines, outlines, and bulk along your arms, torso, and legs. The result is a supple, shapely body, filled with energy and purpose.\r\n\r\n1Pate, Russell R., James F.

All we have is 24 hours each day to get done all the things we need to get done. Exercising often takes a back seat to work, shopping, cooking, cleaning, getting the kids ready for school, and ready for bed. And all of the other million-and-one little details that demand our attention every day.\r\n<h3>Finding the Time to Exercise</h3>\r\nMost of us have the motivation to exercise. We know exercise provides health benefits. Therefore, we want to do it and understand it\'s good for us. But when can we fit it in? A few hardy souls bite the bullet and get up at 5:00 AM - making more time in the day by getting less sleep. Others exercise at the end of a long day. But sometimes that\'s stressful and counterproductive. However they do it, many people make real efforts to exercise a few times each week.\r\n\r\nMost likely, over time,  our good intentions get stymied by our daily concerns. Moreover, deadlines and scheduling take precedence. And the most easy-to-jettison item on our to-do list, exercise, gets lost in the process. And, sooner rather than later, we\'re back to not exercising at all. Public health experts and policymakers have been struggling, too, with this apparent no-win situation.\r\n<h3>Short Bursts of Exercise Provides Health Benefits Too</h3>\r\nThe outcome is brand-new recommendations relating to short bursts of activity during the day. These three- to five-minute bursts have been studied and shown to provide real health benefits to real people under real-world circumstances.3\r\n\r\nInstead of taking coffee breaks at work, people are beginning to take activity breaks. And three to five minutes of climbing office building stairs or brisk walking outside the building or a quick series of calisthenics are all it takes. Six to ten such breaks fulfills the daily requirement of 30 minutes of exercise. Above all, no separately scheduled exercise time is necessary.\r\n\r\nYou\'re already at work, you\'re already taking breaks. So, the breaks become exercise breaks. And you get your exercise done. And you feel great for the entire day, due to bursts of endorphins occurring throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThese bursts of activity are also ideal for people working at home. Plus, they work for school children too. Studies in schools are showing increased attention spans and increased learning as a result of short bursts of intense physical activity.\r\n\r\nEveryone can do this. And everyone can have a workable system for getting the exercise they need.\r\n<h3><strong>Lean Muscle Mass</strong></h3>\r\nWe often hear that building \"lean muscle mass\" is one of the key benefits of strenuous exercise. The human body adapts to environmental stresses. And building lean muscle mass is an important adaptation. Moreover, lean muscle mass is a metabolic furnace. Muscle cells are high-energy cells that actually burn calories when your body is at rest.\r\n\r\nYour internal thermostat is turned up owing to your increased amount of lean muscle mass. And so you burn fat to fulfill these increased energy needs.\r\n\r\nLean muscle mass is not only energy-efficient, but it is also much more shapely than the pounds of fat it replaces. Lean muscle mass creates long lines, outlines, and bulk along your arms, torso, and legs. The result is a supple, shapely body, filled with energy and purpose.\r\n\r\n1Pate, Russell R., James F.

According to researchers, vitamin D may reduce or eliminate <a href=\"/chronic-pain-overview/\">chronic pain</a> due to arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, headaches, and other types of pain.2\n\nMoreover, the vitamin can help with hypertension, psoriasis, several autoimmune diseases (including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis), and reduced fractured bones incidence.\n\nResearch has also indicated that deficiency is linked to colon cancer and, more recently, to breast cancer. And researchers have found that individuals who had higher levels had a 50 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those with low levels. A deficiency has also been associated with a higher risk of a heart attack in men. And a recent study in the journal <em>JAMA Network Open</em> reported about its affect on our newest pandemic stating, \"In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, likely deficient vitamin D status was associated with increased COVID-19 risk.\"3\n\nMore than half of the people in the United States, and the rest of the world, are deficient in vitamin D. \"In order to maintain levels associated with the lowest risk of several types of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and all-cause mortality with minimal sunlight exposure, a person would require ingestion of 4000–6000 IUs of vitamin D daily, which would maintain serum vitamin D levels in the range of 20–40 ng/mL (50–100 nmol/L) and serum 25(OH)D levels in the range of 40–60 ng/mL (50–100 nmol/L).\"4\n\nThere are basically two types of Vitamin D. The natural one is D3 (cholecalciferol), which is similar to what your body makes when exposed to sunshine. The synthetic one (also made by plants) is vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).

And that is true even if sleep needs to be sacrificed. Why sleep a lot when you can get more done without it, right? But that\'s not what studies show. Sleep boosts our productivity because it helps our memory. \"Not only does a daytime nap appear to facilitate the formation of direct associative memories, but we now conclude that napping also facilitates the formation of relational memories, such that associations between items in memory acquired before sleep are strengthened and reorganized by sleep to be flexibly retrieved at a later time.\"2\n\nWe all know that young children need to nap.
