OUR UPCOMING EXPANSIONS AND ADVANCEMENTS

In the next few weeks, we will be adding new services to our regenerative medicine practice (in addition to the current PRP and stem cell injections). These new additions include cosmetic procedures that utilize PRP as well as stem cells; a new fluoroscopic room with a larger motion X-ray unit to better see the larger joints of the body like the hips and the spine; and ozone therapy, as the extra oxygen really supercharges the stem cells and helps dramatically reduce pain. Our extensive equipment, training, personnel, and results are why so many patients travel for hours to receive care and why doctors line up for the chance to learn at our center. We recently partnered with a stem cell clinic outside the United States. With no FDA, they can grow 2 million stem cells into 200 million cells to help those with chronic or severe problems like multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and more.

“I think we’re going to need a bigger boat!” Do you remember that line from the movie “Jaws”? It’s been on my mind lately because, well, I think we’re going to need a bigger office! We are looking at different plans for expansion, including possibly expanding our current building from an L-shape into a U-shape. Recently, we added two more VAX-D tables to further help those with degenerated and herniated discs in their neck or lower back, and our office has become a teaching center for VAX-D to train chiropractors, physicians, therapists, and surgeons worldwide. Over the years, we have helped teach, train, guide, and consult doctors from all 50 states, every providence in Canada, and 11 foreign countries. We have also added several more pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stations to further help patients ease their chronic pain and promote healing. We will soon be adding the Knee On Trac, which is gentle traction of the knee to increase the spacing of the knee joint, as well as to increase fluid, help ease pain, and promote the healing of the knee joint. This works fantastically alongside platelet rich plasma (PRP) or stem cell therapy for the knee; it also works well combined with proper foot levelers and can be used to ensure proper hip and spine alignment by taking strain off of the knee joint in conjunction with PEMF. We are in the process of developing a custom piece of equipment to help patients with neuropathy, chronic pain, Parkinson’s, and a host of other neurologic and chronic pain issues. It will be the first of its kind in the world and will set a new standard in low-level laser therapy. Our office will become the international teaching and training center for this ground breaking technology for chiropractors, physicians, therapists, and surgeons. We will also soon be expanding our biofeedback and neurofeedback departments to better help those with brain injuries, concussions, head trauma, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and chronic pain. We call this process brain brightening, and the results are amazing. This process, combined with neuro-spinal alignment and plant-based whole food nutrition is a world-class, cutting edge advancement, and there is no pill or any other technology that even comes close to achieving the results that this process accomplishes.

THE POWER OF PRP HOW YOUR OWN BLOOD CAN BE USED FOR REJUVENATION

celebrities taking advantage of them, but you probably don’t know much about the amazing, natural fluid that allows these services to work so well. It’s called platelet rich plasma (PRP), and it’s one of the exciting new frontiers in the science of healing and rejuvenation. PRP therapy uses your body’s own blood to stimulate cell growth. It does so by concentrating the platelets in your own blood into a protein-rich liquid. Platelets are one of the four major components of human blood — along with plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells — but they only account for less than 1% of your blood. They are responsible for aiding in the clotting of blood and supporting healthy cells. PRP allows you to concentrate this portion of your blood into a potent healing serum. It works by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then spun down in a centrifuge to concentrate the most beneficial compounds into PRP. This plasma is then injected into your skin to trick the body into thinking it’s experienced an injury. The “injury” prompts the body to kick into healing hyperdrive, creating new, healthy cells in an effort to replace the “damaged” ones. By increasing collagen and blood flow to the site, the tissue treated by PRP becomes newer and more vibrant. We are just beginning to understand all the possible applications of PRP, but we are proud to be on the front lines of this truly revolutionary service. Call our office today to learn about all the ways PRP therapy may be beneficial to you.

At Pain Relief & Wellness Strategies Center, we are proud to be an official provider of the Vampire Facelift and Vampire Facial procedures. We are certified by the Cellular Medicine Association, the only organization that trains providers in these services. You may have heard about these procedures from news stories or your favorite

financial reasons. We can find a payment plan to fit any budget, and we’ve added new staff to better assist our patients with this.

... continued from Cover

In addition to our twice-monthly in-office workshops on a variety of topics, we have invested heavily in new patient education videos, so patients can better understand their options.

We will also be expanding our metabolic and lifestyle nutrition programs to help with common diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune problems that are lifestyle driven. This process obtains results on a scale that no medication can reach. We are not treating the symptoms of the disease; we are literally reversing the disease. It’s a night and day difference. We have increased the number of days that our medical director is on site, and they will begin doing more procedures and more personalized nutritional and lifestyle counseling to help enhance the health and well-being of our patients.

We are lifelong learners, and we are always studying to find better ways to help end our patients’ suffering.

We look forward to continuing to serve your health care needs for many years to come, and we do everything we can to make you feel comfortable in referring us to your family, friends, and coworkers.

Until next month!

We have recently added several new forms of patient financing, and now there should never be a reason for a patient to be denied care for

AN ANCIENT SOLUTION TO MODERN PROBLEMS

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

This is the first step in every meditation session. Though often associated with the New Age metaphysical movement, meditation isn’t all about incense and healing crystals. Meditation is an ancient practice that strengthens your mental focus, and recent research suggests that it offers real solutions to modern problems. WHAT IS MEDITATION? Meditation has strong roots in various religious and cultural traditions, but anyone can find value in practicing it. The purpose of meditation is to strengthen your mind by promoting mindfulness, focus, and awareness. DOES MEDITATION WORK? It depends on what you mean by “work.” Will meditation allow you to defy gravity and hover above the earth? Probably not. But there are so many benefits that will leave you feeling lighter in another way. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that mindful meditation lowers stress levels, and patients who habitually meditate report less chronic pain. Another study published in the same journal found that regular meditation also fights depression. HOW DO I MEDITATE? Meditating is as simple as sitting in a quiet place, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breathing for a few minutes. Whenever your mind starts to wander, gently bring it back to your breath. You don’t need to climb a mountain or pay for a week-long retreat to start meditating. That said, there are plenty of resources that help beginners build a strong foundation for meditation. Popular apps like Calm or Headspace are available on any smartphone and offer guided courses you can start anywhere, anytime. You could also check online or at your local community center for group classes if you would like some in-person guidance. Meditation isn’t a magical ritual that will cure all that ails you, but plenty of research suggests meditation does provide tangible benefits to our mental and physical well-being. Maybe one day, meditation will be as commonplace as daily exercise.

Inspired by Saveur magazine

Nothing feels more paleo-appropriate than digging into a giant rack of beef ribs. This largely hands-off recipe requires plenty of hands-on eating, making you feel like one of our cave-dwelling ancestors.

ingredients

• 1 5-lb. rack of beef ribs • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

directions

1. Heat a charcoal, wood-burning, or gas grill to medium-high. Once heated, move heat source to one side or turn off half of the burners to create an indirect heat zone. 2. Season ribs with salt and pepper and char on the hotter side of the grill, turning occasionally, for 12–15 minutes. Once charred, transfer to the other side of grill and cook until the thickest part of the rib reaches 130 F, about 2 1/2–3 hours. 3. Let meat rest for 15 minutes. If desired, serve alongside grilled veggies.

GROVE CITY’S BEST SHOPPING WHERE TO STOP WHEN YOU’RE IN TOWN

Many of our patients travel from miles away to be treated at Pain Relief & Wellness Strategies Center. Because they are arriving from near and far, many wonder how to fruitfully spend some time in Grove City before or after their appointment. Luckily, Grove City Town Center is packed with wonderful shops where you can find unique gifts and maybe even something for yourself. Here are a few of our favorites.

THE FARM TABLE ON 62 3952 Broadway

The Farm Table is a charming small business focusing on home goods, one-of-a-kind repurposed items, and giftables created by local artists and artisans. You’ll find jewelry, furniture, lighting fixtures, and many other items you can’t get anywhere else. The store also offers the finest food items from local farms and purveyors. The Farm Table is your go-to destination for an authentic experience of the sights, smells, and tastes of Grove City.

NEVER GROW UP BOUTIQUE 4048 Broadway

COUNTRY HEARTH PRIMITIVES 3937 Broadway

If you have young children, you’ll delight at the natural parenting products available at Never Grow Up Boutique. A family business run

by parents Mark and Andrea, the shop specializes in environmentally friendly clothes and items for infants and young children. In the past, you had to hunt down these alternatives online, but Never Grow Up allows you to browse them in-person at a beautiful shop. From cloth diapers to ethically made toys, Never Grow Up stocks it all.

If you have a taste for vintage goods, you could spend hours perusing the antiques at Country Hearth Primitives. Unlike many other antique shops, you’ll find a lot more treasure than trash here. When you see something you like, you’ll have to act fast. After all, you may never see the same item again.

We encourage you to check out these and other Town Center shops the next time you’re here for an appointment.
