And one of the most common things that holds people back, one of the things 0:23 that holds people back, one of the things 0:23 that holds people back, one of the things I hear about most often, is 0:25 I hear about most often, is 0:25 I hear about most often, is back pain. If you are
Why Common Back Pain Treatments Fall Short 0:27 back pain. If you are 0:28 back pain. If you are experiencing this, you may have already 0:29 experiencing this, you may have already 0:29 experiencing this, you may have already tried several methods. Maybe you've 0:32 tried several methods. Maybe you've 0:32 tried several methods. Maybe you've had steroid injections. 0:33 had steroid injections. 0:33 had steroid injections. Maybe you've had 0:34 Maybe you've had 0:34 Maybe you've had physical therapy. Maybe you take medication every 0:37 physical therapy. Maybe you take medication every 0:37 physical therapy. Maybe you take medication every day just to survive. Maybe 0:39 day just to survive. Maybe 0:39 day just to survive. Maybe someone suggested surgery, but 0:41 someone suggested surgery, but 0:41 someone suggested surgery, but you are still in pain. I want you 0:44 you are still in pain. I want you 0:44 you are still in pain. I want you to know something important. It's 0:46 to know something important. It's 0:46 to know something important. It's not your fault. You do what 0:48 not your fault. You do what 0:48 not your fault. You do what you are told. You 0:50 you are told. You 0:50 you are told. You follow the existing procedures. It's just that 0:52 follow the existing procedures. It's just that 0:52 follow the existing procedures. It's just that the procedure wasn't designed to 0:54 the procedure wasn't designed to 0:54 the procedure wasn't designed to fix the problem. I 0:56 fix the problem. I 0:56 fix the problem. I spent the beginning of my career doing
From Interventional Spine Care to a New Approach 0:58 spent the beginning of my career doing 0:58 spent the beginning of my career doing what I was taught. 1:00 what I was taught. 1:00 what I was taught. Interventional spine medicine. 1:02 Interventional spine medicine. 1:03 Interventional spine medicine. Steroid injections, nerve blocks, 1:06 Steroid injections, nerve blocks, 1:06 Steroid injections, nerve blocks, surgical referrals, pain management. I specialize in 1:09 surgical referrals, pain management. I specialize in 1:09 surgical referrals, pain management. I specialize in that area, and I see patients 1:11 that area, and I see patients 1:11 that area, and I see patients undergoing the same treatments over and over 1:14 undergoing the same treatments over and over 1:14 undergoing the same treatments over and over again, getting temporary relief, 1:16 again, getting temporary relief, 1:16 again, getting temporary relief, or getting worse. And I 1:19 or getting worse. And I 1:19 or getting worse. And I keep asking the 1:20 keep asking the 1:20 keep asking the same question. Why don't we fix 1:22 same question. Why don't we fix 1:23 same question. Why don't we fix this problem? Steroids reduce 1:25 this problem? Steroids reduce 1:25 this problem? Steroids reduce inflammation temporarily, but 1:27 inflammation temporarily, but 1:27 inflammation temporarily, but do not heal the tissue. In fact, 1:30 do not heal the tissue. In fact, 1:30 do not heal the tissue. In fact, repeated steroid injections can actually 1:32 repeated steroid injections can actually 1:32 repeated steroid injections can actually weaken the surrounding structures 1:34 weaken the surrounding structures 1:34 weaken the surrounding structures over time. Surgery 1:37 over time. Surgery 1:37 over time. Surgery addresses anatomy, but 1:39 addresses anatomy, but 1:39 addresses anatomy, but most back pain is not
Why MRI Findings Don't Always Explain Pain 1:41 most back pain is not 1:41 most back pain is not simply an anatomical problem. Physical therapy strengthens 1:45 simply an anatomical problem. Physical therapy strengthens 1:45 simply an anatomical problem. Physical therapy strengthens muscles, but if joint instability 1:48 muscles, but if joint instability 1:48 muscles, but if joint instability or tissue damage is not addressed, 1:51 or tissue damage is not addressed, 1:51 or tissue damage is not addressed, you are building on a 1:53 you are building on a 1:53 you are building on a broken foundation. Then what about 1:55 broken foundation. Then what about 1:55 broken foundation. Then what about pain relievers? The drug simply manages 1:57 pain relievers? The drug simply manages 1:57 pain relievers? The drug simply manages the signals without ever asking 1:58 the signals without ever asking 1:58 the signals without ever asking the cause. I abandoned 2:01 the cause. I abandoned 2:01 the cause. I abandoned that model because I couldn't continue to 2:03 that model because I couldn't continue to 2:03 that model because I couldn't continue to offer patients a management plan 2:04 offer patients a management plan 2:05 offer patients a management plan when they needed a 2:06 when they needed a 2:07 when they needed a healing plan. This is something that may 2:09 healing plan. This is something that may 2:10 healing plan. This is something that may surprise you, and frankly, it 2:11 surprise you, and frankly, it 2:12 surprise you, and frankly, it should change the way you view 2:13 should change the way you view 2:13 should change the way you view your diagnosis. About 80% of people 2:17 your diagnosis. About 80% of people 2:17 your diagnosis. About 80% of people walking around today without 2:19 walking around today without 2:19 walking around today without back pain have bulging discs 2:22 back pain have bulging discs , arthritis, or
Ligament Laxity and the Root Cause of Instability 2:24 , arthritis, or 2:24 , arthritis, or degenerative changes on their MRI. 80% are 2:27 degenerative changes on their MRI. 80% are 2:27 degenerative changes on their MRI. 80% are asymptomatic, living their lives to 2:30 asymptomatic, living their lives to 2:30 asymptomatic, living their lives to the fullest. So, when your doctor 2:34 the fullest. So, when your doctor 2:34 the fullest. So, when your doctor shows you an MRI and points to a 2:36 shows you an MRI and points to a 2:36 shows you an MRI and points to a bulging disc or arthritis 2:38 bulging disc or arthritis 2:38 bulging disc or arthritis and says that's the problem, the science 2:40 and says that's the problem, the science 2:40 and says that's the problem, the science doesn't actually support 2:42 doesn't actually support 2:42 doesn't actually support that conclusion. Your imaging findings and 2:46 that conclusion. Your imaging findings and 2:46 that conclusion. Your imaging findings and your pain are often two 2:48 your pain are often two 2:48 your pain are often two separate things. This means that a 2:52 separate things. This means that a 2:52 separate things. This means that a scary-looking MRI result is not a death sentence. 2:55 scary-looking MRI result is not a death sentence.
Regenerative Treatments for Spine Healing 2:56 scary-looking MRI result is not a death sentence. That's not the end of everything. That 2:58 That's not the end of everything. That 2:58 That's not the end of everything. That is information, and information 3:00 is information, and information 3:00 is information, and information we can use. What we 3:02 we can use. What we 3:03 we can use. What we find in most 3:04 find in most 3:04 find in most chronic back pain patients is something 3:06 chronic back pain patients is something 3:06 chronic back pain patients is something that is almost never talked about, 3:08 that is almost never talked about, 3:08 that is almost never talked about, and almost never addressed in the 3:10 and almost never addressed in the 3:10 and almost never addressed in the standard model. Ligament laxity, 3:13 standard model. Ligament laxity, 3:13 standard model. Ligament laxity, joint instability. The connective tissue 3:17 joint instability. The connective tissue 3:17 joint instability. The connective tissue that holds your spine together 3:19 that holds your spine together 3:19 that holds your spine together has been stretched, strained, or damaged, and 3:22 has been stretched, strained, or damaged, and 3:22 has been stretched, strained, or damaged, and never healed properly. 3:24 never healed properly. 3:25 never healed properly. This instability creates a 3:27 This instability creates a 3:27 This instability creates a cascade of muscle tension, 3:30 cascade of muscle tension, 3:30 cascade of muscle tension, nerve irritation, and inflammation that manifests 3:33 nerve irritation, and inflammation that manifests 3:33 nerve irritation, and inflammation that manifests as daily pain. That's where 3:37 as daily pain. That's where 3:37 as daily pain. That's where prolotherapy comes in. 3:38 prolotherapy comes in. 3:39 prolotherapy comes in. Prolotherapy is an injection-based treatment 3:41 Prolotherapy is an injection-based treatment 3:41 Prolotherapy is an injection-based treatment that uses 3:43 that uses 3:43 that uses precision solutions to stimulate 3:45 precision solutions to stimulate 3:45 precision solutions to stimulate your body's own healing response, right 3:47 your body's own healing response, right 3:47 your body's own healing response, right in the damaged connective tissue. We 3:50 in the damaged connective tissue. We 3:50 in the damaged connective tissue. We don't cover up the pain. We 3:52 don't cover up the pain. We 3:52 don't cover up the pain. We spark real improvement. 3:54 spark real improvement. 3:54 spark real improvement. New collagen, restored stability, a 3:57 New collagen, restored stability, a 3:57 New collagen, restored stability, a spine that functions 3:59 spine that functions 3:59 spine that functions as it should. We 4:02 as it should. We 4:02 as it should. We combine it with PRP, 4:04 combine it with PRP, 4:04 combine it with PRP, shockwave therapy, and MLS laser. A tool 4:07 shockwave therapy, and MLS laser. A tool 4:07 shockwave therapy, and MLS laser. A tool that accelerates tissue healing, 4:10 that accelerates tissue healing, 4:10 that accelerates tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and restores 4:12 reduces inflammation, and restores 4:12 reduces inflammation, and restores function at the cellular level. This is a 4:15 function at the cellular level. This is a 4:15 function at the cellular level. This is a regenerative treatment applied 4:17 regenerative treatment applied 4:17 regenerative treatment applied to the spine, and the results are
Patient Results and a Call to Seek Real Healing 4:19 to the spine, and the results are 4:19 to the spine, and the results are amazing. We track our results 4:22 amazing. We track our results 4:22 amazing. We track our results closely because results are what 4:23 closely because results are what 4:23 closely because results are what matter most. Our patient satisfaction rate 4:26 matter most. Our patient satisfaction rate 4:26 matter most. Our patient satisfaction rate in spine 4:29 in spine 4:29 in spine and orthopedic care is approximately 93%. That's not a 4:31 and orthopedic care is approximately 93%. That's not a 4:31 and orthopedic care is approximately 93%. That's not a number we just mentioned. 4:33 number we just mentioned. 4:34 number we just mentioned. It is the result of actually 4:35 It is the result of actually 4:35 It is the result of actually fixing what is broken, rather than 4:37 fixing what is broken, rather than 4:37 fixing what is broken, rather than simply managing the pain. Patients 4:39 simply managing the pain. Patients 4:39 simply managing the pain. Patients who came to us after 4:41 who came to us after 4:41 who came to us after years of injections, 4:43 years of injections, 4:43 years of injections, failed physical therapy, and 4:45 failed physical therapy, and 4:45 failed physical therapy, and surgical recommendations, told there was 4:47 surgical recommendations, told there was 4:47 surgical recommendations, told there was nothing else to try, are now 4:49 nothing else to try, are now 4:49 nothing else to try, are now hiking, golfing, sleeping 4:51 hiking, golfing, sleeping 4:51 hiking, golfing, sleeping soundly, and holding their grandchildren. That's what 4:54 soundly, and holding their grandchildren. That's what 4:54 soundly, and holding their grandchildren. That's what healing looks like, and 4:56 healing looks like, and 4:56 healing looks like, and it's available to you. Most 4:59 it's available to you. Most 4:59 it's available to you. Most back pain patients have 5:00 back pain patients have 5:00 back pain patients have spent years being 5:02 spent years being 5:02 spent years being treated based on MRI images, not 5:04 treated based on MRI images, not 5:04 treated based on MRI images, not on the person in pain. If 5:07 on the person in pain. If 5:07 on the person in pain. If you're ready to find out what's causing 5:08 you're ready to find out what's causing 5:08 you're ready to find out what's causing your pain and fix it, 5:10 your pain and fix it, 5:10 your pain and fix it, we'd love to talk to you. Come see 5:13 we'd love to talk to you. Come see 5:13 we'd love to talk to you. Come see us at InterveneMD because you haven't 5:15 us at InterveneMD because you haven't 5:15 us at InterveneMD because you haven't failed treatment yet. It's 5:17 failed treatment yet. It's 5:17 failed treatment yet. It's the treatment that has let 5:19 the treatment that has let 5:19 the treatment that has let you down, and I think we can do 5:20 you down, and I think we can do 5:20 you down, and I think we can do better.
