Osteopathy Manual Treatments
Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) is holistic hands-on care performed by an osteopathic physician. Through a functional medicine approach, the doctor diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent injury or illness. OMT can be used to cure health problems such as treat muscle pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, sinus disorders, migraines, menstrual pain and more. Osteopaths focus on treating the source of the concern rather than just the symptom! Call to learn about our initial offers for O.M.T. therapies.
Prolotherapy Treatments
Prolotherapy (proliferation therapy), includes dextrose, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), or stem cell injections. It is a nonsurgical treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process and is also known as regenerative injection therapy. By adding growth factors, cytokines, and stem cells to the injured area the body can work to repair non-vascular tissue, musculoskeletal tissue, and painful joint areas.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy (PRP) is a groundbreaking non-operative treatment option that relieves pain by naturally promoting long-lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions.
Facial Rejuvenation Injections
With facial rejuvenation, the practitioners make all the difference. You will be astonished by the results, and you won't have to break the bank to get them.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The body thrives on oxygen. HBO therapy has been used for decades in wound management, toxicology, diving complications, and to treat vascular deficiences. By its nature, it stimulates the immune system and delivers additional oxygen to deprived tissues. It is now being used to treat head injuries, chronic migraines, to boost results in combination with Prolotherapy and more.
Stem Cell Therapies
Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or a health condition. Bone marrow transplant is the most widely used stem-cell therapy, but some therapies derived from umbilical cord blood are also in use. CONTACT US FOR AN INTRO OFFER...
