At our office we offer advanced regenerative therapies designed to stimulate healing, including:

WHAT IS BPC-157??????
LET ME TELL YOU!!!!

BPC-157 is a peptide!

Other well known peptides
- insulin
- weight loss meds such as Ozempic
- collagen peptides for skin health

BPC-157 is a specific peptide that signals your muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments to heal. It goes in to your body and hooks to the receptors of injured or inflamed body parts and says HEAL HEAL HEAL!!!!!

What can It do for you? I’m glad you asked!!!!!

- Overcomes strained and ruptured muscles
- Faster recovery of ligaments, tendons, bones
- Stimulates blood flow
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Improve flexibility and mobility
- Enhances physical performance

I’ve done a lot of research and found a very reputable company that makes SYNAPEP, an oral peptide that is designed to make it past your digestive system and pulse doses your receptors in order to constantly signal your body to heal 24 hours a day. It’s amazing!

I also practice what I preach. My son broke his ankle and I have him taking them everyday to stimulate bone healing and soft tissue repair. I take them every day for general wellness and joint health and a side effect is weight loss which is nice! I even have my mom taking them!

If you want more information, please contact us and we’d be happy to help!

Thanks for reading this far.

Let’s get better together!!!! 💪👣

Sophie insists on doing her red light therapy every night! I love that it is safe for animals, too. She has suffered from skin allergies her whole life, and red light therapy has stopped her itching! Ok I know I’m not a “pawdiatrist”, but feet, paws, what’s the difference? 😂

If plantar fasciitis
Is stealing your break.

From arches that strain,
