The CORE™ Advantage

prolo-flower_graphic-only

Exponential healing

Our bodies consist of an intricate network of biological mechanisms. From bones to musclesto nerves, to hormones, our we cannot heal properly without these all components functioning optimally.

Your regenerative treatment success is limited by overall lifestyle health. When introducing multiple modalities into the treatment plan, each facet of the body is allowed to function better, contributing to an optimal healing process. For example, helping our clients to lose weight and eat better improves cell health and produces better prolotherapy results. Successful prolotherapy, in turn,improves our patients’ ability to exercise more and lose even more weight. Each modality oered by CORE benets the success of the others, creating an exponential healing cascade.

A Well Rounded Approach

CORE’s integrative services ensure better recovery and retention when healing with multiple lines of care. We asses each patient individually to determine all possible aspects of their lifestyle that contribute to their pain. In this way CORE prescribes all treatments necessary to stop degeneration, and start regeneration.

Metabolic Testing through InBody

Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body composition, generally known as your body muscle, fat, and water. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body. Body composition analysis is the key to tracking and maintaining effective weight loss. Lose weight smarter, healthier, and happier like never before.

The InBody 770 is the best body analysis machine on the market today, used by hospitals, professional sports, and even NASA! Santa Cruz CORE has the only one available to the public on the Central Coast!

Regeneration

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is an injection based regenerative treatment that delivers proliferating solutions to injured soft tissue structures (like tendons or ligaments). A proliferant is a substance that induces cell division thus restoring cells in an injured tissue. These solutions are clinically proven to form new fibrous tissue via the inflammation healing cascade.

Regeneration

Prolotherapy techniques reinforce and repair the function of otherwise incompetent structures. Proliferating solutions used in prolotherapy injections include pro-inflammatory dextrose (sugar), Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and autologous Stem Cells (from own bone marrow or fat tissue).

Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cell injections are typically reserved for cases where dextrose and PRP treatments have been ineffective. Stem cells have a unique ability to “home-in” many tissue types and repair damage. They can become part of muscle, bone, and nervous tissue.

This prolotherapy uses autologous (your own) mesenchymal stems cells. The stem cells are acquired from the patient’s own bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. Mesenchymal stem cell prolotherapy helps with degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis, where there is bone and joint degradation.

PRP

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) prolotherapy injections are amongst the most effect regenerative treatments. PRP not only repairs soft tissue like tendons and ligaments, but dermal (skin) tissue as well. The injection of a platelet/plasma solution triggers the inflammation healing cascade and elicits repair.

Platelets are little pockets of fluid that release signal molecules to stimulate healing. Signal molecules released include cytokines and other growth factors, they recruit repair mechanism to the area. Platelets are activated by contact with injured tissue- which serves as the initial trigger and begins the healing cascade.

Acupuncture

At Santa Cruz CORE, we have a passion for what we do. We make an effort to spend significant time and energy with each patient to ensure their needs are met. For us, it’s more than just acupuncture; the acupuncturists work with multiple healing modalities during an acupuncture session to get you feeling better. Working to create positive change in the body, we use a combination of needling, moxa, gua sha, cupping, ear seeds, massage, and Tai Chi and Qi Gung. Each individual is treated as such, an individual with an unique body and we use our various tools to create the most healing we can in each session.

The primary focus of TCM is on correcting the underlying cause of an illness or disease and thus producing lasting relief. Symptoms can often be relieved in a matter of hours or days, but correcting the illness itself is a much longer process. It is important, therefore to take an adequate number of treatments to ensure the best results.

HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves placing a patient in an environment of pure oxygen under increased air pressure. This allows for an increase in oxygen uptake by the lungs and oxygen delivery to healthy or injured tissues. Normally, oxygen is solely transported in the body through red blood cells. Using HBOT, oxygen is dissolved and delivered into the body's fluids, plasma, bones, and more. In this way, it treats formerly unreachable damaged tissues. There is a higher oxygen demand associated with tissues undergoing repair in the body. This means that one requires more oxygen to recover from an infection or injury.

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy has been used for decades in wound management, toxicology, diving complications, and to treat vascular deficiencies. By its nature, it stimulates the immune system. It is now being used to treat concussions, migraines, and even to boost results of Prolotherapy. For example, HBOT increases the yield of stem cells harvested from adipose tissue for Stem Cell treatment.

Osteopathy

is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Retention

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), is a non-pharmacological treatment modality unique to the osteopathic profession. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing physical manifestations of diseases such as joint restriction, muscular imbalance, and fascial distortion.

Chirotherapy

The key to resolving chronic injury is to understand the compensations associated with the breakdown in functional movement, structural symmetry, muscle firing, and change in core communication. The Sports ChiroTherapy™ protocol allows identification and alleviation of incorrect compensations, restores structural symmetry, provides proper muscle firing, and establishes proper core communication. This enables the body to create a platform by which we can develop the patients' return to their highest level of performance.

The core theory of HMT is that muscular imbalance is the cause of injuries and decreased performance. HMT utilizes patient muscle feedback with indicator muscle testing to select the primary points of treatment for each individual condition. HMT is unique in that it combines acupressure meridian lines, muscle testing, and trigger point therapy to create a comprehensive soft tissue technique.

Personal Training

We provide consultations free of charge with the primary goal of determining the needs of the individual, this is our time to listen to you. Once we determine your functional state we design a program specific to the individual.
