Examples
Broken Bones:
I have had great success using a two part supplement protocol that speeds bone metabolism and healing time. 90% of my clients that have used this protocol have had noticeable results. Essentially the supplements are made from a proprietary medical grade recipe of bone meal, bone salts and bone dna/rna.
This protocol helps speed the fibrosis formation of the bone callus, speeds the development of the protein based bone matrix so the mineralization process can deposit faster and more efficiently.
A 3 week supply of both supplements runs $45. Smaller bones usually need only two cycles of supplementation with larger bones needing more depending on the severity of the break.
Post surgery soft tissue injuries (examples: ACL or Rotator cuff):
I typically use a 3 part supplementation protocol of collagen, cartilage and muscle dna/rna to support a faster and more efficient healing response that will naturally produce less scar tissue. This not only speeds recovery time, but rehab time as well. Depending on the clients situation I can do rehab in house, but if they have insurance that covers physical therapy I prefer the client to utilize normal PT while coming in to my office once a week for energy based therapy. Basically, I cover everything else that PT does not cover including neurologic recovery. I combine a variety of fascia techniques with cold laser and cellular de-ionization therapies. Clients who combine standard PT with my protocols have experienced faster-problem free recoveries and return back to activity weeks ahead of schedule.
Pre surgery soft tissue injuries:
Sometimes my clients come in having problems post surgery or can’t take the time for surgery. In these cases I utilize the same protocols along with aggressive strength and conditioning and /or aggressive taping techniques to get the client through till the end of the season. I have had several clients that the pre surgery healing was so efficient that they never needed the full blown surgery as was initially diagnosed and determined to be necessary. In many of these cases the athlete was still able to practice and race.
Energy/endurance problems:
In my experience, energy problems are a common symptom often tied to either metal or chemical toxicities. Metals interfere with oxygen exchange at the red blood cell level and chemicals interfere with hormone utilization. Everyone is exposed to heavy metals and chemical burdens through the water, food and detergent/hygiene chains. It all comes down to how your body flushes these contaminants out. I have several nutritional protocols to draw upon to assist the natural detox mechanisms or even fine tune the functionality of the glandular system. Every case is independently assessed and protocols are custom tuned to each person’s needs and metabolism.
