Joint and back pain regenerative treatments using shock wave and biologics.

Hi, I'm Dr. Dana Churchill. I'm here at my clinic in Fullerton. I'm, for people that don't know me, or maybe even patients that do know me, I'm actually a chef, a nutritionist, and a naturopathic doctor. And naturopathic doctor designation has expanded exceedingly in the last five years, where basically I'm doing functional medicine, regenerative medicine, and anti-aging medicine. I've combined the three together, mad scientist, taking the best of all, put different systems together, and had just some amazing, amazing results. You just have to come and see for yourself. But today what I want to talk about is joint pain, back pain, knee pain, shoulder problems, decreased range of motion. You can't play golf like you used to. You can't play tennis like you used to. You can't play pickleball like you used to. For all the people in south of me, Orange County, who love pickleball, many of my patients are extremely competitive. After 50, 60 years old, they're still very active and playing pickleball. They love that game. So, I fixed a lot of knees for those guys. I want to talk about the different treatments we have here and how powerful they really are. And you could save a lot of money and time and effort if you understood what they can do. So, the first thing is I have pages on my website. If you go to treatments and you go to the drop-down menu, there's one on ozone and there's one on stem cells, exosome injections, PRP injections. And also I have a new shockwave machine, which is basically from Germany. I got the one from Germany to tout it as being the best in the world. It has amazing properties of healing using acoustic wave therapy. It's also known as EPAT. EPAT, you can look it up, shockwave online. And it basically can heal any kind of ligament, tendon, joint problems, joint pain, decreased range of motion, sprains, strains, you name it. We've had intractable back pain go away. Helps with nerve pain, seriously helps with nerve pain, but I do excel in nerve pain because I use many different types of injections for nerve pain, obviously not in the nerve, but around the nerve and also systemically. We have homeopathics from Germany from HEAL, which work amazingly well. We have anti-inflammatory peptides, which are very powerful for healing. The shockwave machine itself takes maybe three to six treatments, and I haven't seen anything yet that didn't go away with the shockwave. I also combine the shockwave with PRP and ozone injections. So that's very powerful. That's the first line. The second line would be more like exosomes. And they say the third line or the highest level of treatment, we can actually inject stem cells and Morton's jelly into the joints, around the joints, into the tissue, and using the shockwave first as well. And then the shockwave after to keep the inflammation going, because with the biologics, you want to keep the inflammation going. The more inflammation time you have in there, the more the body's called to go and heal that area, because the body's very smart. As soon as you start to get inflammation in a certain area, or you will exfoliate the face with facials, or with the joints, you'll use the shockwave. You call the body's immune system to go there and heal it, where before that, especially with cartilage, ligaments, tendons, there isn't a whole lot of blood flow in there. So if we can get those areas to start calling out to the body, sending out the signals, hey, hey, I need some help. I need some help. Please come help me heal. That's exactly what happens. We see just amazing results. I had one young man who had shin splints. He was in his 20s, and he wanted to be a policeman, and he had to take the police exam in just a few weeks. And he came in, and we did three treatments, and nothing worked before. You know, they did x-rays. They checked very carefully what's going on. He did labs, and we did three treatments with the shockwave machine, and he's completely healed. He has no pain. On complete range of motion, he can run and jump on the leg, and no problem. We've seen that with knee pain, intractable knee pain. We've seen it with back pain, intractable back pain. We do do imaging, of course. You know, I have an orthopedist who comes here once a week, so the more serious cases, we work together. Other than that, I get imaging on every single joint, every single back pain, anything, because I want to make sure that it isn't a tendon that's literally cut through. A lot of times, you can ascertain that by doing the different types of physical exams, so you would know. But, you know, obviously, you want to be very careful and do all the imaging first. But when we're using these regenerative treatments, we see healing in a fraction of the time it took before. We see patients who don't need to do a joint replacement anymore or stall that joint replacement for a year or two years and have really great efficacy, and they can still work out. They can start running again. They can start swimming. So, it's like if you have a passion to some kind of sport, and you're getting older, and you can't do that anymore, you can't exercise, and it's really taking away your quality of life, because I've seen this many, many times. Please come to me, because we can get that quality of life back there. Not only do we have those treatments, we have about a thousand different nutraceuticals, homeopathics. I'm an herbalist. We do a lot of botanicals, and just usually with a peptide, with some ozone treatments, injections, with your own PRP, which is fairly inexpensive, and the shock wave treatments, for most injuries, we can get them healed in a month, less than a month a lot of times. So, please don't think that it's the end of the world, and check out my website, and you can learn a lot more. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Take care now.
