Your joints do not move the way they used to
You've had or been told you need cortisone or surgery for your back or joints, a pain block or other pharmaceutical injections
Degeneration of the ligament, tendon, or cartilage in your joints or back
Arthritis
Your joints have one or more of the following: swelling, pain, burning, tenderness, clicking, popping, grinding, catching, or giving way
Numbness, tingling, burning, aching, weakness, buckling of legs: bulging, protruding, herniated or degenerative disc
Chiropractic doesn't fix the problem, you must return for the same problem with only temporary relief
Going to a physical therapist does not improve your ability to use your joint or your back and/or the pain is the same or it's worse
You're seeing a massage therapist for muscular relief and relaxation but you still have pain in your joint or back
You're seeing a doctor for pain management and/or you're taking pain medicine but it's not helping
You have been fitted with custom orthotics but it's still not enough
You've tried "everything" and nothing seems to help

ABOUT REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

An almost quiet revolution is occurring in medicine. It's called regenerative medicine.

Regenerative medicine spans many innovative medical therapies and medical fields of application and research. In dentistry it's sometimes called reconstruction or grafting.. In orthopedics its called biological medicine. In biology, it's often called cell or stem cell therapy. In prolotherapy, it's offen termed regenerative injection therapy.

In each case it means the same, a modality which enables the body to repair, replace, restore and regenerate damaged or diseased cells, tissues and organs.

Scientists worldwide are engaged in research activities that may enable repair of damaged heart muscle after a heart attack, replacement of skin for burn victims, restoration of movement after spinal cord injury and regeneration of pancreatic tissue to produce insulin for people with diabetes. Regenerative medicine promises to extend healthy life spans and improve the quality of life by supporting and activating the body’s natural healing.

This broad field encompasses a variety of research areas including cell therapy, tissue engineering, biomaterials engineering, growth factors and transplantation science.

For decades in the United States, Prolotherapy, which literally causes the body to make a renewed attempt to heal ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, has been the most advanced treatment to stimulate a matrix of healing resources to the injured area.

With scientific advances, we can now put the healing matrix directly into the affected areas. One of the treatments we use in conjunction with Prolotherapy is Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP. Blood is drawn from the patient, the platelets are separated and then placed at the injured or diseased area.

With these treatments the body is able to regenerate healthy tissue where there had been torn, painful or debilitated tissue and to provide the raw materials on site to do so

Prolotherapists have the background knowledge, skills, and philosophy to be at the forefront of both a medical and a musculoskeletal revolution..

Andrew Taylor Still, the father of Osteopathy, focused on the musculoskeletal system and the body healing itself holistically.

Quotes of Andrew Taylor Still

My father was a progressive farmer, and was always ready to lay aside an old plough if he could replace it with one better constructed for its work. All through life, I have ever been ready to buy a better plough.

Of what value is a mind when placed in the brain of a coward? If mind is a gift of God to man for his use, let him use it. A mind is not in use when doing no good.

You find that all men are successes or failures. Success is the stamp of truth. I will say all men who fail to place their feet on the dome of facts do so by not sieving all truth and throwing the faulty to one side.

To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.

We look at the body in health as meaning perfection and harmony, not in one part, but as the whole.

A. T. Still

Dr.Douglas is foremost an Osteopathic physician. She focuses on bringing about a healing cascade from within the body to heal loose, stretched, torn, painful, injured and arthritic joints and vertebrae.

She does not treat with steroids or surgery. For those of you who want to treat more conservatively, you've come to the right place.

Our mission and intention is to assist the body in healing itself. We will continue to carefully and diligently support advances in medicine which first do no harm while stimulating the body to heal itself.

In that endeavor, we suggest supporting the body towards a healthy state in cases where the body may not be as optimal as preferred for this type of treatment. In most cases, we suggest some dietary changes and supplementation to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.

You bring us the solution, your body heals itself. Your body has the regenerative solution.

Be a part of the solution.
