If you’ve been battling stubborn, painful symptoms, and looking into different treatments to help you regain some of your lost comfort, our team may be able to help. Revive MD Center is located in Glen Allen, VA, and we offer a wide range of pain management treatments. Our goal is to pair each patient with the right treatment for their unique needs, so they can start feeling better and get back to enjoying their lives.
Acute pain can be distressing and debilitating, whereas chronic pain and the discouragement that comes with it can make patients wonder if they’ll be able to enjoy a day free of discomfort again. Our team is dedicated to offering versatile pain management options for our patients regardless of whether their pain is chronic or acute.
When our joints or musculoskeletal system gets strained, a combination of anti-inflammatory drugs and rest is usually enough to correct minor issues. Once the pain extends beyond a few weeks, treatment may become necessary to encourage proper healing and improve comfort levels and joint functionality.
Treatments like nerve blocks or steroid injections can help improve comfort levels by shutting off the patient’s pain signals, or reducing inflammation.
If the nerves around your joints, especially the knees or elbows, are acting up and causing issues, applying harmless heat with laser therapy can help resolve the issue and improve comfort levels.
If you want a treatment that’s effective, but don’t want to rely on surgery or opioids, our class IV laser therapy treatment could be a good option for you. This FDA-cleared therapeutic treatment helps accelerate tissue regeneration while managing inflammation and pain at the same time.
By improving circulation, this treatment helps to draw in vital nutrients, water, and oxygen to the treated area. This helps create a more effective environment for the body to heal. The result should be a reduction in stiffness and pain. It can also improve symptoms like muscle spasms and address inflammation and swelling throughout the affected area.
The laser we use is the Summus Laser Class IV. It delivers therapeutic red and near-infrared light wavelengths that can reach down to tissues on a cellular level. This induces a photochemical reaction, which helps encourage its restorative benefits.
Our experienced specialists are excited to offer this laser treatment as part of our treatment protocol for neuropathy and various musculoskeletal injuries. Since this treatment can help stimulate cells of all types, it’s an excellent choice when it comes to nerve, cartilage, ligament, and soft tissue regeneration.
In addition to addressing joint issues and neuropathy concerns such as a loss of sensation and tingling, this laser can also be used to improve the following concerns:
Stem cell therapy can help to both speed up your healing process and make you feel better. It can help repair damaged tissues, or it may encourage the growth of new tissue.
There is a range of conditions stem cell therapy can be useful for. These conditions can include, but are not limited to:
Stem cells can be procured from several sources. Umbilical cord tissue is an excellent source for stem cells, as these cells tend to be extremely versatile. When compared to stem cells from bone marrow donations, using stem cells from umbilical cord tissue tends to reduce the risk of your body rejecting the treatment.
These cells can help your tissues regenerate, reduce inflammation, and module your immune system. Our team’s extensive research has led us to the opinion that these cells can offer a range of benefits, including anti-aging benefits and the improvement of several health concerns. We also offer amniotic stem cell therapy, which is a great choice when it comes to knee pain in particular but can also be used for a range of bodily pains.
While stem cells can be injected right into the problem area, our office offers IV delivery for patients who want to treat the body as a whole instead of being restricted to treating a specific area. We do offer both options and would be happy to discuss which method of delivery would be best suited to your needs.
For IV delivery, the process involves the patient being attached to an IV bag that will gently deliver stem cells in a saline solution. The treatment lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, in which time the stem cells will already begin to travel throughout the body. Since stem cells seek out damaged tissue, these cells can discover problem areas and specialize themselves to begin repairs.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells that can communicate with other cells. They contain both DNA and microRNA, and can attach to new cells as they move through the body.
They act almost like a flash drive. They give cells information that the cells can use to alter their behavior. Exosomes from young stem cells can help “reprogram” and regenerate older cells in this way, which can help fight age-related concerns and tissue damage. By restoring certain cells to a more youthful functionality, this treatment can help these cells work at their best.
When you’re experiencing chronic pain, exercise may sound impossible. The truth is that safe, guided exercise, or massage to carefully work the affected joints, may be one of the best tools for lasting pain management.
Physical therapy can take many different forms. It can involve massage, or joint and bone manipulation. Manual therapy can use either hands or tools to work soft tissue, and movement therapy involves safe exercise to promote motion and wellness.
The patient’s individual needs will help determine which kind of physical therapy has the best chance of managing and improving their symptoms. Various treatments can be paired with physical therapy to help improve results.
Physical therapy can help alleviate many different kinds of chronic pain. Pain caused by injury, autoimmune disease, arthritis, and other types of neuropathic and musculoskeletal disorders can all potentially be helped with physical therapy.
A physical therapist has the knowledge to teach patients how to alter their movement so they can move with improved functionality and safety. Physical therapy can also help those who have been inactive due to pain. It does this by helping patients recover their muscle strength, so they can regain some of that lost independence and stay healthier.
PRP, also known as platelet-rich plasma, is a non-invasive treatment we use for a variety of concerns. Platelets are cell fragments. When they find blood vessels that have been damaged, these fragments have the ability to bind together and form blood clots. They also promote healing through the growth factors they contain.
Plasma, on the other hand, is the fluid portion of blood. It’s responsible for carrying platelets and both red and white blood cells all throughout the body. When platelet-rich plasma is used for treatment, the high concentration of platelets can help targeted areas heal more effectively.
PRP is completely derived from your own blood, making it an all-natural treatment option. A small sample of blood will be drawn, which will then be separated into different layers using our centrifuge machine. This process creates the layer that is known as platelet-rich plasma, which can be drawn back up and used to treat conditions ranging from joint pain to aesthetic concerns.
While joint injuries and soft tissue damage are very common in athletes, anyone can experience them, and it becomes a significant concern as the body ages and loses its ability to heal as effectively. Direct trauma or overuse can cause injuries to various parts of the body. This treatment provides patients with a non-invasive option to try before surgery, or to pair with other treatments in hopes of boosting effectiveness and healing rate.
This treatment doesn’t cover up symptoms, but it can help reduce inflammation and the pain associated with it. PRP can help heal the body from the inside out for benefits you can enjoy in the long run.
