SPORTS INJURIES
Sports medicine has evolved over the years into a highly respected specialty of orthopedics that treats both elite athletes and weekend warriors. Although the specific nature of the injury may vary from group to group, the main goal of this specialty is to return the athlete to his or her prior high functioning state. Many injuries are acute, and the goal of the sports medicine physician is to make sure they do not become chronic.
The causes of athletic injury vary from microtrauma from overuse to major impact trauma to a joint or limb. (Sports injuries usually more involve limbs and joints, but can include the spine.) Orthopedic surgeons have been joined to a small degree by pain management physicians since many of our techniques overlap.
Correct diagnosis (cause) of the injury is important. In many cases the diagnosis is obvious. More and more, sports medicine physicians are using diagnostic ultrasound to fine tune their examination.
Treatment of injuries, especially overuse injuries, is to stop doing that particular activity. This is not desirable in sports medicine. Treatment options are many, and include: 1) careful reconditioning and retraining; 2) non-pharmacologic interventions such as acupuncture, massage, etc.; 3) directed injections of anything from local anesthetics to PRP to stem cells; or 4) surgery.
At the Neuropathy & Pain Centers of America, we have a new option: electronic cell signaling treatment (EST). Much of the microtrauma is manifested by an inflammatory response as the body tries to heal itself. Muscles can spasm and pain inhibits performance. EST can affect both muscle and nerve cells directly through a variety of actions. Pain can be diminished by direct muscle relaxation, blocking inflammation and blocking nerve pain signals temporarily or permanently.
Serial treatment is usually required: 2-3 times per week for several weeks. Healing is a process, and patients must be patient! Sample applications of EST are accomplished by the simple application of our electrodes to the involved body part and the choice of the correct specific parameter program, whether anti-inflammatory, boosting of circulation or reducing edema. In this way we can assist in healing your minor or major injuries which include joint sprains, superficial or deep muscle sprain/strains in any part of the body. Commonly treated conditions include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, shoulder sprains, ankle injuries and low back sprain/strain. The application of the Sanexas EST device will substantially speed up healing time. It has been used successfully by the Atlanta Hawks pro basketball team, USC Trojan football team and other sports teams.
If you or anyone you know has an acute or subacute joint, limb or back injury, please do not hesitate to come in for an evaluation.
VETERANS ISSUES
Health care for our Veterans has taken front and center stage over the past several months, partly because of the VA access scandals. We owe our Veterans – who put their very lives on the line to preserve, protect and defend our freedoms and way of life – the very best of medical care no matter whether they are veterans of Vietnam, Desert Storm/Shield or more recently the multiple conflicts in the Middle East.
The health issues affecting our current and former service men and women run the gamut from acute traumatic injuries and the negative after effects to severe neuropathic pain from Agent Orange in Vietnam, other toxic exposures in the Middle East, and post-traumatic stress syndrome. Many of the Veterans’ health problems center around the chronic pain associated with musculoskeletal trauma and systemic disease, and are enhanced by psychological trauma.
At Neuropathy & Pain Centers of America, we have been working diligently to give Veterans access to our unique forms of healing through application of energy medicine. We have successfully treated several Veterans with phantom limb pain as well as chronic pain from training or combat operations. If you are a Veteran, or if you know any Veterans, who suffer from chronic pain from trauma, please do not hesitate to call our clinic. Veterans of all ages may now see us with a referral from the VA system. The long term chronic pain from many “permanent” injuries can often be improved with our advanced electromedical devices and unique approaches. We do not emphasize medication management, but rather healing.
Peripheral neuropathy is very common in many of the older Veterans who were exposed to toxic agents such as Agent Orange in the Vietnam or the toxic agents of the first Gulf War 24 years ago. Our unique approach to neuropathic pain affords about an 80% chance of improvement.
