They say that, “Youth is wasted on the young…”. I’ve pondered this often throughout the years. When we are young we are (for the most part), pain free, wrinkle free, carefree…but we forget to be thankful for all of those things. Being able to play the sports we love, engage in our favorite hobbies, or just feel attractive… By the time we realize how beautiful and amazing these things are, we’ve lost them. We wake up several times a night with aching bodies, it hurts to get out of bed in the morning, we struggle with the long term effects of illness and injuries, we can’t run after our children or grandchildren, our hair is thinner than we’d like, and our face…so many wrinkles! We still feel the same in our brains – but then we look in the mirror! Who is that!?

Part of aging is beautiful though. Growing our family, finding those special people who make life complete, serving and loving others…but the pain, the illnesses, the brain fog…why on earth didn’t anyone warn us! There’s another saying, “Growing old is not for sissies…” and it’s true. Feeling bad, being in pain, giving up the things we love, no longer recognizing ourselves in the mirror – it’s HARD. And it’s definitely not fun.

This is why, it comes as no surprise then, that the use of painkiller drugs is so high. According to NCBI.gov, NSAIDs, (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are one of the most commonly prescribed pain medications.1 The prevalence of NSAID use in patients over 65 years old is as high as 96% in the general practice setting. And who can blame us? We don’t want to be in pain every day…we want to function at our very best…we want to feel good. Unfortunately, the downside of long term NSAID use is frightening. Things like gastroduodenal ulcers; GI bleeding; hypertension; heart failure; stroke; electrolyte imbalance; kidney disease…the list goes on. So what then? Just tough it out? No.

There is hope.

There is a safe and effective alternative to the equally bad options of constant pain, NSAID use, and wrinkles…

If you’ve been looking for the fountain of youth…you just found it!

Imagine…youthfulness on the inside and the outside! What is it?

Regenerative Medicine!

What is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is exactly what it sounds like. It is the newest frontier in health, healing, and longevity. It harnesses the power of growth factors to actually regenerate and restore the health and function of the body’s cells, tissues and organs. Yes, you read that right… you can age backwards!

There are hundreds of ongoing scientific studies showing the great benefit of Regenerative Medicine for nearly everyone. It can be used to improve and restore the healthy normal function within areas of the body that have experienced deterioration, injury, illness, and/or distress.

Some of these include:

• Immune system health/function (Auto-immune disorders)
• Joints (chronic and/or acute pain; injury; tears; sprains; and strains)
• Musculoskeletal (pain, dysfunction)
• Gastrointestinal systems (IBS, IBD, Auto-immune)
• Brain (TBI, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Brain fog)
• Diseases: Kidney, diabetes, heart, thyroid, obesity
• Skin (signs of aging, acne scars, wrinkles, sagging skin)
• Hair (thinning/loss)

The two main forms of Regenerative Medicine are:

• Platelet Rich Plasma is harvested from your own blood. Your own growth factors are extracted from a blood sample and then reintroduced back to the areas of your body which need rejuvenation. This option is more affordable for those with limited resources who still want to experience the benefits of Regenerative Medicine…though it may require more than one treatment to reach the desired level of effectiveness.
• Stem Cell Properties are regenerative ‘super powers’. These are harvested from banked/donated umbilical cord blood and/or placenta of healthy, pre-screened donors. These have a slightly higher cost, however they are much more potent than PRP and therefore you may need fewer treatments.

At Center for Wellness it is our goal to provide you with medical care which seeks to not just bandaid issues; however, we seek to help you attain a higher level of actual wellness. We do this through specific training within the realm of functional, holistic, homeopathic, and regenerative medicine. Here, you will find someone who listens. Someone who cares. Someone with the expertise to find the root of a problem and utilize the myriad of tools at our disposal.

We are very excited to be now offering services in Regenerative Medicine, and at a much more affordable cost than many other offices in the Greater Los Angeles area. If you, or someone you know can benefit from holistic Regenerative Medical care, please contact us today. We would be honored to meet you and discuss whether this innovative therapy is right for your needs.
