Medical Services Offered at Body care REgenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine

At the core of regenerative medicine is growth factors, cytokines, proteins and mesenchymal stem cells. Our regenerative medicine products focus on using cells to help your body heal from within. With mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), your body may heal itself from the inside, using the cells to counteract inflammation that perpetuates tissue damage. These cells (MSCs) are a key component of regenerative medicine and our doctors and patients both love the results.

Large Joint Injections

We also do large joint injections, including the knee, hip, feet and ankles, shoulder, and wrist. Our large joint injections are done under ultrasound guidance. The ultrasound is a safe and effective way to ensure patient safety as well as make sure that the injection is done in its proper place. It improves the effectiveness of the injection by insuring that the needle and fluid are going exactly where the practitioner wants. Ultrasound equipment is both non-invasive and safe.

Trigger Point Injections

(TPI) are a simple procedure widely performed to relieve myofascial pain. It involves injections into trigger points, or knots that form when muscles do not relax. TPI is used to treat a wide variety of pain syndromes and other painful conditions. A common application for TPI is treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic musculoskeletal pain condition in which painful trigger points develop within muscle and fascia. Another pain syndrome commonly treated with TPIs is fibromyalgia, a chronic condition involving widespread pain, fatigue, sleep abnormalities, and often distress. These trigger point injections are done to promote healing in the dysfunctional muscle. They take a few minutes and are very effective in the rehabilitation process.

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems- oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. You don’t have to have a disease to benefit from functional medicine.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy means disease or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, typically causing numbness or weakness, especially in the arms, legs, hands or feet. The peripheral nervous system refers to nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, and connect the central nervous system to sensory organs, such as the eye and ear, and to other organs of the body and muscles. These nerves can become damaged by a variety of causes, including diabetes, chemo-therapy, inflammatory infections and more.

Chiropractic

What is a chiropractic adjustment? It’s a steady, controlled, and specific adjustment applied to your spinal joints to restore maximum movement and function. This is a proven technique, particularly effective for reducing pressure off spinal nerves.

There are a variety of techniques, here are the techniques we utilize in our office: Gonstead, SOT, Activator, Thompson, Cranium Therapy and Sinus Therapy.

Spinal Decompression

Thousands of patients that would have had to endure surgery have opted for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression.

Body Care Spine & Nerve Center offers the latest cutting edge technology in the non-surgical treatment of serious chronic lower back pain and sciatica.

In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now.

Today, you don’t have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, Spinal Decompression was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.

What is a nutrition all about? It’s much more than cutting calories, skipping meals, diet drinks and suppliments.

Physician Referrals

MDs (Doctors of Medicine), DOs (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine ), LAcs (Acupuncturists), and DCs (Doctors of Chiropractic) regularly refer patients to Body Care. Typically, other specialists refer either patients with issues outside of their normal case type, such as car accident victims, or patients with musculoskeletal issues, such as low back or neck pain. DCs typically send us referrals for specialized skills that they cannot provide. We also make referrals when a case falls outside of our areas of expertise.
