Rejuvenation Medicine
Rejuvenation medicine harnesses the body’s natural ability to heal and restore damaged tissues or organs, transforming healthcare to a proactive rather than reactive process. This innovative approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms. In many cases rejuvenation medicine enables people to avoid surgery and dependence on medications and restore normal function and quality of life.

Novopulse© is an FDA-approved class 1 device to address osteoarthritis of the spine. Novopulse utilizes pulsating electro-magnetic force (PEMF) with heat to promote positive cartilage rejuvenation and decrease inflammation of the spine. The result is a reduction of back pain, nerve pain and enhanced mobility of the spine. This treatment is non-invasive and can be done at home. It has also been shown to restore cartilage and other connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments of other joints, and to promote bone fracture healing.
Joint Rejuvenation Therapy is a comprehensive program utilizing a wide range of therapies and modalities to support your body’s natural healing processes. A person’s joint rejuvenation therapy will be a custom designed combination of the tools available to meet their situation to ensure the greatest likelihood of success. It involves administering restorative materials directly into a joint to energize the body’s natural healing processes, and may also include supportive therapies that have been shown to make basic rejuvenation processes more successful.
Trigger Point Injections – trigger point injections are used to help break taut muscle fibers that cause pain. This therapy is used for muscle stiffness, tension, headaches and myofascial pain syndrome.
Rejuvenation joint injections are the process of injecting a restorative product into a joint. This process helps with tissue healing and repair. Restorative products help to reduce pain, calm inflammation and improve joint mobility and function. These injections are generally used for osteoarthritis and degeneration, supportive tissue injury and chronic joint pain.
Platelet Rich Plasma is collected from the plasma of your blood. A patient’s blood is drawn, placed in a centrifuge and spun to isolate and separate out PRP. Because a person’s own blood is used there is no chance of rejection. Injecting PRP into areas of damage helps promote your body to grow new healthy cells that then promote healing. This therapy is generally used for musculoskeletal injuries and tendonitis.
Corrective exercise is used to optimize movement quality to improve and enhance performance, injury resistance, movement efficiency, and recovery. Corrective exercise assesses and focuses on muscular imbalances that cause joint pain, decreased range of motion, and compensation during movement that cause poor posture and faulty movement pattern. The goal of corrective exercise is to reduce pain, increase range of motion, increase joint stability, increase strength, and improve mobility.
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin is a naturally occurring protein in the bloodstream that can also be isolated in a centrifuge. It has been shown to bind and neutralize enzymes that are involved in situations of chronic inflammation. The neutralization of the inflammatory process results in the reduction of pain and the promotion of healing. Delivery of A2M to a joint is clinically proven to inactivate cartilage damaging processes and increase collagen and cartilage production.
Cold laser therapy, also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment option that helps decrease pain and promote healing through the processes of super pulsed laser, red and infrared light and a magnetic field. The laser helps stimulate cellular healing. Cold laser can be used for multiple musculoskeletal conditions and injuries to accelerate healing and tissue repair.
Conditions Treated
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint pain diagnosis. Over 80% of all hip replacements and more than 90% of knee replacements are caused by osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is caused from injuries that do not heal – chronic injury – and results in pain (inflammation) which leads to the gradual degeneration of tissues and bones in the joint.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a more complex condition for which the exact cause is unknown but many factors are believed to have a role in this disease including genetics, smoking, obesity, infections, stress and gut health.
Other types of joint pain are caused by injury and tearing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the area of the joint.
Virtually any injury of any type is an injury to cells. Chronic injuries are injuries in which cells are not able to heal. Cells do have a natural ability to repair and replace themselves in order to heal and maintain normal function. When cells are limited in their ability to heal and rebuild, it’s often due to limited blood supply (blood being the source of nutrients and oxygen for cells).
Cell-stimulating and supporting therapies such as A2M, PRP, laser therapy, and PEMF (pulsating electromagnetic frequency) have been shown to moderate inflammation, and improve blood and oxygen supply to cells and promote healing of these chronic injuries.
Occipital nerve block is an injection of anesthetic medication near the occipital nerve to help alleviate headaches.
