Most frequently, this revolves around cell therapies to kick start the healing process by taking cells from blood, fat, bone marrow and birth tissues and precisely injecting them into damaged tissue.
These advanced pain therapies to repair and regenerate damaged ligaments and tissues are effective on degenerative spinal discs, joints, muscles, tendons or ligaments.
They use your body’s own healing mechanisms rather than medicine or drugs to relieve pain and improve function. We began offering these procedures at Intervene MD because we are committed to providing you with access to the most affordable and advanced pain relief.
Dr. Joye has received advanced, specialized training in the administration and techniques of prolotherapy – i.e. regenerative medicine.
There are 4 primary types of regenerative therapy in use today.
Platelet Rich Plasma also called PRP or Platelet Injections, come from your own body. Inside your blood are platelets, and inside these platelets are many growth and healing factors which repair damaged tissue, fight inflammation, and accelerate injury recovery. When you have an injury, there’s a chemical alert system (in your immune system) that activates and attracts platelets to travel to the site of injury where they open up, releasing these wonderful healing factors that go to work to fix you. It doesn’t work within days because your body usually takes a little bit of time to do the repair work to heal itself, but they do work quite well within a few weeks or a couple of months. It’s critical that your physician have advanced equipment and training for the effective use, administration and quality of your results. View our PIVOT video below.
Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, is similar to Platelet Rich Plasma. HGH is administered as an injection that is placed in and around damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments, helping to heal them. Human Growth Hormone works by stimulating protein synthesis and the formation of new collagen that remodels your degenerated, damaged and painful tissues. You have human growth hormone in your body but not enough to repair these areas, so if you choose this regenerative therapy, we order HGH for you from a specialty pharmacy who delivers the HGH to our office where we then administer it to you using guided imaging.
Stem Cell therapy consists of using you own body’s repair cells to help heal injuries. These cells come from your own body and do a remarkable job of healing injuries. You cannot order stem cells, they have to come from your own body. They often come from your belly fat or they are harvested from your bone marrow in your lower back at your pelvis and hip area. So, stem cells are retrieved from your body, prepared and then placed directly into the damaged areas of your body using imaging guidance.
Birth Tissue Products are those taken from placentas and umbilical cords at the time of delivery. These products are taken from mothers who have been screened for disease. They are processed, frozen, and then thawed at the time of administration. There are no stem cells in these products, but they can still be helpful in attracting your body’s own native healing cells into the area.
Our bodies have the amazing ability to heal themselves.
Today we have the technology to accelerate your body’s healing of musculoskeletal injuries. We are able to trigger your body to use its own repair mechanisms to fix itself. We do so by gathering, concentrating, and preparing a variety of cells, such as platelets and stem cells, from both blood and tissue. These prepared cells are placed, by injection, at the site of a joint or tissue injury. Your body responds with an inflammatory process that initiates the building blocks of cellular repair.
As a result of regenerative medicine therapies, your tendons, ligaments, and tissues can grow stronger and your joints can gain increased range of motion. You can heal faster, regain lost flexibility, and improve endurance and flexibility in your treated tissues.
IV Wellness Infusions: The Revolutionary New Way to Feel Better
While no silver bullet can guarantee you a healthy body and mind, there are certainly ways you can improve your health without breaking the bank or consuming all your free time.
Here at Intervene MD, we’ve begun to use a ground-breaking treatment method for our patients, treating health issues such as headaches, dehydration, and asthma, boosting immune systems, and providing our patients with much-needed energy.
Our IV wellness infusions have become a popular way to improve general health, treat chronic illness, or simply give patients a boost when they’re feeling run down.
Let’s dive into what our wellness IV infusions involve and how they benefit patient health.
What are IV Wellness Infusions?
IV wellness infusions contain a balanced blend of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants that are provided intravenously to reach target cells faster. This method of vitamin intake allows you to feel the effects more quickly than if you took the same vitamins in oral supplement form.
Most infusions take around 45 minutes, and the benefits vary from person to person.
There’s no one situation where wellness infusions are needed – their benefits apply to all kinds of patients and circumstances.
Those overcoming jet lag, struggling with chronic illnesses, or in recovery mode are prime candidates for this type of treatment, as are people who struggle to get adequate nutrition from their food.
Here at Intervene MD, the team likes to use IV infusions when they’re feeling a little under the weather and experiencing headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms.
How Often are IV Wellness Infusions Needed?
The frequency of treatment varies from person to person. In general, you can expect your nutrient levels to remain elevated for 1-3 weeks after each treatment, and you’ll feel the benefit of your infusion treatment during this period.
Many patients with chronic health conditions prefer to schedule weekly sessions, while others prefer to seek treatment only when they feel fatigued or need a health boost.
The frequency with which you undergo treatment depends on your personal preference and needs. After your first session, see how long the treatment has a positive effect for, and use this to determine how frequently you might want treatment.
IV Infusions as Part of a Healthy Lifestyle
While IV infusions are an effective wellness treatment, they’re best utilized in conjunction with other strategies and treatments, such as a healthy diet, sufficient sleep, and plenty of physical movement.
Many patients are experimenting with intermittent fasting, which yields benefits such as weight loss and even helps you live longer.
Peptide therapy is another popular wellness treatment, boasting benefits such as lower blood pressure and improved immune function.
By combining healthy habits with our IV infusions, patients can enjoy a greater sense of general well-being and reduced symptoms such as headaches and fatigue.
Whether you’re struggling to recover from a marathon, feeling fatigued from a busy period at work, or dealing with the symptoms of a chronic illness, our IV infusions can help put the pep back into your step.
