Among the more common uses for PRP are knee pain, shoulder pain and other painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, some types of low back pain. PRP can also be used in patients that have residual joint pain from having had orthopedic arthroscopic knee or shoulder surgery. PRP works to heal painful joints by using the patients’ own natural biological healing mechanism. The injured or damaged tissue in the joints, ligament and tendons or muscle send out chemical signals that there is injury or incomplete healing. PRP has receptors on the active platelets that seek out these damaged tissues. The PRP graft then biologically ...

But if you could change the way you live now to spare yourself a few of those aching bones later, would you? Even if it meant toning down your scandalous footwear? A study done by the National Institutes of Health revealed that chronic foot pain is exacerbated by shoes that don’t fit right, or that stress a particular part of your foot (four-inch heels, anyone?). Podiatrists suggest ditching wild shoes in favor of more sensible options. But guess what?  Comfortable shoes are generally not cute. You can buy inserts and orthotics to help with foot pain, but those can be expensive. Would you be willing to wear only sensible shoes for the rest of your life to keep foot pr...

As such, I treat patients for their pain without surgical intervention. Many patients with neck, back and joint pain (knee pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, etc.) can be successfully treated without invasive surgery and the many risk that go along with this. With surgery there is also a prolonged recovery time and need for extensive rehabilitation. The area of medicine that applies to successfully treating patients without surgery or use of narcotic medications is known as regenerative medicine. In this field, platelet rich plasma is injected into the affected joint, tendon, ligament or soft tissue area that has pain and is failing to heal completely. T...

The kind of shoes you wear as a young adult will have a strong impact on the health of your feet later on in life. I’d classify this particular study as a Duh study if it weren’t so serious. After all, we do know that certain types of shoes can cause problems, such as bunions, hammertoes and fallen arches. We also know that more women have foot problems than do men. So do we really need a study to tell us that we’re doing it to ourselves? Researchers in the United States studied 3372 people (1900 women) to evaluate the health of their feet. The study findings were published i...

I used to do it and really liked it. Any type of water exercise is a great way for diabetics to get into shape, especially if they are overweight or have joint problems. According to Diabetes Health Magazine, “Because the buoyancy of water mitigates the force of gravity, water exercise lowers the stress on joints, bones, and muscles. This is important for those who are experiencing weight gain or foot pain due to diabetes.” Water aerobics classes are available all over these days. Check your local YMCA, fitness center, or park and rec department. Tags: cardio, Diabetes, diabetics, exercise, exercising ...
