Podcast Welcome and Host Background 0:31 Welcome to The Natural Facts. 0:36 I'm Dr. 0:36 David Wickenheiser, a naturopathic physician and the host of the Natural Facts Podcast. 0:42 This is part two in my series on solving joint pain, the inevitable versus the possible. 0:50 You or someone you know may be suffering with joint pain. 0:54 Painful leaves, backs, hips, shoulders are common. 0:57 In your lifetime, it's a virtual certainty that you will experience joint pain at some point. 1:03 Some people experience joint pain for months or even years of their lives.
Part Two: Solving Joint Pain 1:07 However, joint pain is not a certainty. 1:09 If you have pain, it can be solved. 1:12 If you are worried about getting joint pain or if you've had it in the past and you want to avoid getting it again, I have a solution for you. 1:20 Regenerative medicine. 1:22 I've been treating patients, friends and family members with natural and regenerative medicine since 1995. In this video series, 1:31 I will share information on regenerative medicine treatments for solving joint pain that I found to work the best. 1:39 I have been both a doctor and a patient. 1:42 I'm a past member of the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine, AAOM. 1:47 Through the AAOM and other similar organizations, I have attended conferences and courses on solving joint pain with regenerative medical treatments.
Why Joint Pain Is Not Inevitable 1:57 An important bonus that comes from attending regenerative medical courses and conferences is volunteering as a treatment demonstration model. 2:04 I've done this many times. 2:06 I've had my own joints treated by the top regenerative medical doctors. 2:10 These treatments have provided me with first-hand experience on what to expect. 2:15 I know these methods work not just from my perspective as a doctor, what I've seen with patients, but from my experience as a patient, 2:21 what I've seen with my own body. 2:23 The shortcomings of interrupted pain. 2:26 Joint pain is commonly treated at traditional pain clinics in certain limited ways.
Regenerative Medicine as the Answer 2:33 The primary treatment goal of these clinics is to interrupt your pain, interrupt the symptom pain, not to solve the cause of the pain. 2:40 In the short term, this may be useful. 2:43 However, it can also be dangerous because pain can help us to avoid further injury. 2:49 Interrupting nerve pain signals may provide a false reassurance of long-term health. 2:55 Nerve pain interruption can be accomplished with drugs, temporary acting neurotoxins such as Botox, or even permanently by cutting nerves themselves. 3:06 Some doctors even recommend that you become mentally tough enough to endure your pain.
Clinical Experience and Patient Perspective 3:11 Drugs, surgery and mental processing all have a place in medical care. 3:15 But some of these treatments are so drastic that you will want to consider all your other treatment options before starting treatment. 3:22 The history of regenerative medicine. 3:23 Regenerative medicine has been around for decades. 3:26 Doctors George Hackett, Earl Getney, and David Shuman were performing and teaching regenerative dry treatments in the United States in the mid-20th century. 3:36 Dr. 3:36 Hackett published his textbook, Ligament and Tendon Relaxation Treated by Prolotherapy in 1956. Prolotherapy is a group of medical treatments that proliferate,
Limits of Traditional Pain Treatment 3:48 regrow, and regenerate the ligaments and tendons of injured joints. 3:53 The regenerative medical treatments for solving joint pain that I have had the greatest success with are platelet-rich plasma PRP prolotherapy, 4:01 prolozone, and ozone microdosing. 4:05 These and many other regenerative medical treatments will be discussed in detail later in this podcast series. 4:11 For more information on regenerative medical treatments, visit my websites drwik.com and thenaturalfacts.com.
