Regenerative Medicine
Peptides, Exosomes, PRP, EMSculpt®, EMTT, ESWT,
NightLase®, OraLase™, ScalarWave lasers
…and the list keeps growing!
Only a few weeks ago I was telling someone that I thought traditional and alternative medicine
would evolve and transform into Regenerative Medicine.
And here is information that has landed in my lap within the last two weeks!
All of this information is a result of my experiences with PRP, NightLase® and EMSculpt®
which prompted research and investigation with lots of questions.
The changes that are unfolding in my back – after 50 years – are truly amazing.
ShapeShifting Structure with PRP
I am in a wondering mode as I go through pain in my upper back as changes unfold. The effects on my overall posture is significant, not to mention the skull base and mandibular reaction and change. My emotion goes up and down with the pain and the change. When I come out of a bad time, my amazement at what is happening to my physical body is overpowering, almost overwhelming, as my mind tries to grasp these events that seem impossible. It’s been fifty years since the fusion in my back and the dental traumas during 1975-1981. How is this possible so many years later and at my age – 78?
My main question: Has my Osteopath performed PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections for a 50-year ‘compensation’ before? PRP is being used after injury and/or surgery more and more in this era. My ‘injury’ (iatrogensis – harm caused to a patient by medical treatment) is definitely not recent.
When she decided to do this procedure, she said: “I’m going to treat your compensation as an injury.” My cervical spine contributes to a ‘head-forward’ posture which affects the jaw position. A fusion one-inch too anterior (1976) also contributes to 50 years of structural adaptation of my entire spine since the fusion was a L5-S1. Furthermore, the dental procedure of pulling my jaw forward (1977-178) creating a Class III malocclusion for six months accentuated the ‘forward’ posture and injury to the jaw.
Can the structure really change?! And the answer is materializing as a YES!
This ‘shapeshifting’ change has not been easy…and it is not finished.
How long will this continue?
There will be another round of cervical PRP injections in early October after the MR Neurography.
Osteopathic treatment is critical for my body to regain and maintain a different stature as this change unfolds.
And what will the long-term effect be on the jaw with ‘whatever’ is happening in that arena?
And I continue to walk in the Unknown and meet unbelievable physicians in the process –
and fortunate to have found those creative minds who can write their own protocols for treatment.
Laser Light
The unbelievable power of vibration:
nanometer (nm) frequencies of light and hertz (hz) frequencies of sound.
The music posted on this website can make me ‘shimmer’ as well .
A NightLase® treatment is commonly used for snoring and sleep apnea. The laser heats the tissue gently and tightens the tissues in the back of the throat. The success rate of NightLase® is up to 85%, usually with three treatments. This laser uses two frequencies of light: 1064 nm and 2940 nm.
In my case, tightening the tissue in the throat could potentially address Tensor ‘flopping around in the tissue’ as well as Raphe and his ligamentous instability.
Breathing can be integrated while using the laser. In fact, the ‘shimmering’ effect I feel from the light is sometimes reproduced with my breathing practice. Widening the palate/breath seems to increase the ‘effect’ of the light…more shimmering. The exhalation then can equally produce more shimmering when integrated with the Breath… and the quality of pain slowly shifts.
Metamorphosis?
“The Space Between the Breath”
Scalar Energy and Stillpoint
An Oralase,™ a 1064 hot laser, reduces pain and inflammation. This light therapy helped release the fibrous tissue in my neck and jaw that had violently reacted during first month of adjusting to the dental splint as my bite shifted to the right and my teeth were ‘whamming’ on the splint.
A cold laser was recommended for at-home treatment. My Scalarwave laser does a remarkable job of ‘shimmering’, shifting the quality of the sharp, painful sensation… and sometimes eradicating it completely. This cold laser is now my ‘go to’ for home change and/or relief. And the astounding discovery is that this ‘shimmering’ reflects back into the painful area from wherever the laser is resting on my body.
The cold laser ‘substitutes’ for Jin Shin in my practice since it takes one hand to use the laser and Jin Shin uses both hands. Breathing, Sunin Do (slow head movement) and meditation are companions with a cold laser treatment.
EMSculpt Neo®
EMSculpt® is a non-invasive procedure that builds muscle and reduces fat using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and, in the case of EMSculpt NEO®, radiofrequency (RF) technology.
It serves as a therapeutic tool for patients with muscle weakness, limited mobility, post-injury or post-surgical recovery, supporting rehabilitation by strengthening deep muscle layers and improving quality of life.
The contractions are so powerful that they are equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats in just a 30-minute session. Repetitive contractions cause the muscle to break down and rebuild, resulting in a noticeable increase in muscle mass. At the same time the HIFEM energy also causes the fat cells to heat up and die.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy | ESWT
ESWT is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves (shock waves) to stimulate healing in various musculoskeletal conditions.
Shock waves create micro-injuries in the affected area triggering a cascade of cellular response including inflammation, angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and collagen production (tissue repair).
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy | EMTT
EMTT is a regenerative, non-invasive therapy that uses high-energy magnetic pulses to stimulate deep tissue regeneration,
reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic and acute pain from musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and sports injuries.
