Regenerative Medicine Step 3:  StemWave and SoftWave ESWT (Part 2 of 2)

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave ESWT (Part 2 of 2)

Cliff Notes for Both ESWT Blogs before we go forward:
1.  StemWave and SoftWave offer electrohydraulic ESWT that is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of conditions
2.  The science behind Electrohydraulic Shockwave Therapy is fascinating and has significant advantages over other forms of acoustic and pressure wave therapies
3.  StemWave and SoftWave regenerate tissues like nothing ever demonstrated before
4.  StemWave and SoftWave are unique and worth a try before more invasive intervention (ex. surgery)

**Please note that you do NOT need to be an active patient to benefit from StemWave and Softwave.  You can simply make an appointment.  This also applies to Hbot and NormaTec.

As we learned from Part 1, electrohydraulic shockwave therapy is an amazing technology.  Although no one treatment intervention can fix every problem, StemWave and SoftWave most certainly addresses conditions that no other intervention can help.  The excitement over shockwave therapy is palpable.  It’s real.  The research pool continues to grow and more and more treatment applications are being discovered as time goes on.

Integrative medical doctors and manual medicine doctors should move into ways to help patients regenerate muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves.  It’s THAT important.  It’s also important to be aware of what the international shockwave community is saying about extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).  Is this all a farce or is it legitimate?

How To Identify and Address Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

How To Identify and Address Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is described as numbness, tingling, and weakness on the medial ankle (inside part) and is similar in effect to what Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is in the wrist.  We have a piece of tissue, called a retinaculum, which is like a thin ligament, that holds certain structures and vessels in place. The retinaculum in the medial ankle is called the flexor retinaculum. When there is pressure or tension in the area and a particular nerve is compressed (in this case the tibial nerve), this creates the ‘syndrome.’  Regarding the wrist, the median nerve is compressed in the Carpal tunnel, causing tingling, numbness, and weakness.  In the medial side of the ankle, the tibial nerve is compressed in the Tarsal tunnel, causing tingling, numbness, and weakness in the medial foot/ankle and toes.

The Tarsal tunnel has more structures that course through the region and any/all of them can be affected by injury, repetitive use injury, or compression. Continue Reading →

Slouching Population Part 1 of 3: Good Posture Goes Beyond Just Looks!

Slouching Population Part 1 of 3: Good Posture Goes Beyond Just Looks!

Over the weekend, I met some new friends, and the topic turned to posture very quickly once they found out that I was a chiropractor, and when I found out that they were IT specialists. They began to make fun of themselves about the ridiculous positions in which they sit while working at the computer. Until that moment, I had just visualized poor posture as sitting with the head forward, rounded shoulders, and hunched upper back. After speaking with this group, a new picture popped into my head regarding bad posture. One demonstrated leaning so far back in his chair with his leg propped up on a waste basket he may has well have been lying down. Another was slanting to the side and turning in a way that only a contortionist could have achieved. How you position yourself with your posture, comfortable or not, you may be taking years off your life….or just making those years a bit more painful. Continue Reading →
