NATURAL JOINT REJUVENATION Written by David A. Tallman, NMD, DC |
| Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), is a
minimally invasive, non-surgical approach to pain, arthritis and degenerative
joint conditions. It is indicated for joint areas that have produced pain
for longer than four weeks or pain that reoccurs in the same location after
certain activities or exercises. Natural substances such as dextrose can
be deposited around areas of degenerated or weakened tissue. The body
responds to this stimulus by increasing the manufacture of normal tissue and
engulfing/replacing the degenerative tissue. Pain and arthritis symptoms
diminish as the treated areas are strengthened. Building blocks for
cartilage growth may also be deposited around the treated area to assist the
body's repair mechanisms. |  |
| Ligaments are responsible for holding our
bones together. When they are strong, the cartilage grows at a healthy
rate and allows for smooth, pain-free motion. When ligaments are weak,
cartilage breakdown leads to arthritis, painful joints and general aches and
pains. Not only does the cartilage suffer, but the capsule lining the
joint produces sparse, thin joint fluid that provides poor lubrication. |
| Some of the most painful conditions have been
successfully treated by RIT such as arthritis, herniated disks, carpal tunnel
syndrome, ligament sprains, meniscal tears, plantar fasciitis, damage to the
rotator cuff, sciatica, sports injuries, spondylolisthesis, TMJ syndrome,
tendonitis, tennis and golfer's elbow and post surgery pain. Regenerative
Injection Therapy often works even when all other treatments such as surgery,
physical therapy, medications, and chiropractic have failed. |
| Remember, pain is not an anti-inflammatory
medication deficiency. Pain is the body's call for help. Instead of
masking the pain with pills or other "band-aid" treatments, why not repair the
painful area? If you are suffering or know someone who is, please call our
office to find out more information (480) 951-0111. A 15-minute
consultation is provided at no charge to answer questions/concerns or to
determine if you are a candidate for Regenerative Injection Therapy. |
