Inflammation: Why do I have it and how can I prevent it? 🤷

Similar to how a wildfire spreads or as corrosion spreads rust to surrounding parts, inflammation reacts the same in our bodies. Oxidative stress results when the production of damaging compounds in our bodies (free radicals) exceeds the capacity of the available antioxidants to get rid of them. Inflammation can spread from one tissue region to the next and even from one organ system to a remote one.

Environmental, conditional and genetic factors determine why one person develops dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), another has thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid) while others suffer from colitis (inflammation of the colon) or multiple sclerosis (inflammation of the insulating layer of the nerves in the brain). The good news is that we have a considerable amount of control over the expression of these disease states.

Nerve Pain😫

What exactly is it?

⚡️Nerves are responsible for making muscles work and providing sensation. Think of them as wires, sending signals throughout the body to coordinate actions and send sensory information to the brain.

What does it feel like?

⚡️Damaged or inflamed nerves can create a variety of symptoms ranging from stabbing or lightning bolt sensations to burning, pins and needles, or numbness.

What kind of nerves are there?

⚡️Sensory Nerves, which carry signals from the body’s sensory receptors (your skin, connective tissue, bones, and muscles) to the spinal cord and brain. These allow you to feel pain and other sensations.

⚡️ Motor nerves, which carry signals away from the brain to the body’s muscles. These nerves control your movements and actions.

How can nerve pain be treated?

⚡️Rehabilitation or physical therapy
⚡️Regenerative Medicine (i.e. stem cell science)
⚡️Interventional pain management image-guided injections
⚡️Laser Therapy
⚡️Lifestyle and nutritional counseling

What is BMAC?

🩸The inner or spongy portions of our bones are formed like the inner matrix of a sponge, forming tiny apartments or incubators to cradle and nourish blood and stem cells. Stem cells are literally the cells that all other types of cells (including bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, nerve and blood vessels) “stem” or develop from to form new tissue. BMAC is the bone marrow fluid harvested or aspirated from bone marrow.

How is bone marrow aspiration concentrate obtained?

🩸If you rest your hands on the sides of your hip your thumbs are pointing at a part of the pelvic bones that are rich in stem cells. After the patient receives IV sedation the area is sterile prepped and draped. Generous amount of local anesthetic ensure the target site is anesthetized or numb. An aspiration needle is then guided into the bone under direct ultrasound visualization. Bone marrow is then aspirated from several sites.

🩸Benefits of BMAC

Treat areas of dying bone (osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis)
Decrease inflammation
Improve wound healing
Treat degenerative and osteoarthritis affecting joints
Delay progression of some diseases, including arthritis
Improve tendon and ligament function
