What Is Holistic Orthopedics?

Holistic Orthopedics is simply the evaluation and treatment of a painful area within the context of the whole person. Your knee is connected to YOU. 

With Regenerative Medicine therapies, you make your own medicine. We are utilizing your own body's healing response, so the healthier you are, the greater response we see. 

Joint pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction are often primarily local problems (knee pain is a problem in the knee). But there are also often instances in which systemic factors are contributing significantly to the pain and/or tissue damage. These can come in many different forms including hormone changes (menopause, low testosterone, hypothyroid, etc), immune system dysfunction (autoimmune conditions, allergies, etc), cardiovascular health, inflammatory toxins or foods, and trauma. 

Our holistic approach addresses any contributing metabolic, neurologic, and/or hormonal factors that can improve outcomes. It fills in the gaps between pain and lab work-- between the joint and your Health.

Pain does not exist in a vacuum and you'll be treated as a whole person.
