Real Results: Catherine’s Success with Regenerative Treatments in Scottsdale AZ

Real Results: Catherine’s Success with Regenerative Treatments in Scottsdale AZ

Quite often, readers ask me to share patients’ success stories. Today, I’d like to share Catherine’s story. For any of my patients, you’ve probably met Catherine in my office or seen her testimonial videos on my website. She’s excited about the results she’s received from her regenerative medicine treatments in our office, compared to challenges she’s had elsewhere while seeking relief from chronic pain in Scottsdale AZ.


What conditions did Catherine have?

She’s had many different serious accidents, and chronic conditions from them. Her accidents and issues are too many to list. Some major ones include:

  • Falling from a very high ladder while she was painting.
  • Trampled by a horse, which caused her to have a rod placed in her right leg.
  • Surgery on her left leg in 1970, and was given steroid injections in her knee also.

What treatments in Scottsdale AZ did Catherine try prior to coming to Accurate Care?

As I mentioned above, she had leg surgery that rendered little if any results. The rod that was implanted into her right leg caused chronic pain and inflammation over the years. She would like to have it surgically removed, but it’s been recommended that she leave it in, as removing it may cause her symptoms to worsen.

She went to a nationally known stem cell clinic that advertises aggressively. They offer Bone Marrow Aspiration treatments, (BMAC). This has been proven to be ineffective for those over the age of 60. It is a punch bone marrow biopsy that is painful for most, and the pain has lasted over 2 years for Catherine and another patient who received that care. Neither of these patients felt improvement. (Please consult with me for more info on this)


Once she came to our office, what worked?

As I mentioned earlier, she’s been a success story in our practice.

Her regenerative treatments include IV and exosomes injections, stem cell injections, Cox Decompression Manipulation for her back issues.

Another condition that was improved for Catherine, was sleeping. In her own words, “I was tested for sleep apnea. My breathing stopped within an hour, and I pulled the mask off. After my IV exosome treatment, I was tested, and recorded for 6 hours, as not snoring.”

For any questions you have on this subject, please contact me.

Asthma, allergies, & other lung issues. It’s not if, it’s when. in Scottsdale AZ

Asthma, allergies, & other lung issues in Arizona. It’s not if, it’s when. in Scottsdale AZ

Yes, Arizona is a tough state for lung issues. The dry air, dust, and extreme temperatures allow inflammatory conditions to thrive in our lungs. Some people have already had inflammatory lung conditions, and some develop them within a few years of living here. As a physician, it’s frustrating knowing that there are usually only therapies that merely manage these conditions, and very few that actually diminish and reduce them to a level of not only comfort, but actual healing of the affected tissues.

Most every patient with lung conditions knows about steroidal treatments, albuterol inhalers, and medications. These are, in many cases, designed for emergency use, and not necessarily for chronic daily use. The challenge for patients here in Arizona, is that they end up using albuterol inhalers daily to just maintain a comfort of living with healthy breathing. This can lead to over use, and cause severe side effects, including rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, headaches, dizziness, low potassium levels, and sometimes it can lead to fatal asthma attacks. Overuse also causes increased inflammation in the airways, and that is what the drug was intended to reduce.


So how can inflammation of the airways be reduced safely and naturally? in Scottsdale AZ

Regenerative medicine, including HCT, formally known as stem cells, offers a great way to reduce the inflammation in the lungs, and allow the patient to heal safely, and promote healthy breathing. It does not involve injections either. There are a couple of different delivery methods that are very effective. These methods are specifically prescribed depending on the diagnosis of each patient’s condition. At Accurate Care Medical Wellness Center, I have a team of medical professionals who are specifically trained in these techniques. Our results speak for themselves, as we’ve been able to help patients with breathing issues get their lives back. They can exercise without fear of not getting the air they need or depending on drugs to do so.


So how long does this take to work?

In our office, we see patients who feel results as early as the next morning. One recent case in particular, was a man in his 70’s who had gotten Covid a month before coming in for treatment. He had developed what is known as, “Razor Blade Pneumonia” in another state. It is referred to that, because when someone who has it tries to swallow, it feels like swallowing razor blades. He then developed double pneumonia, or pneumonia in both lungs.

He had been a patient in our office and called to get a regenerative medicine treatment for his condition. He still had difficulty breathing from the double pneumonia and seemed to be developing scar tissue in his lungs. We started his treatment, and by the next morning, he reported that his breathing was almost back to normal! He was very grateful and was surprised that he felt better so fast. The regenerative treatment he received in our office was starting to break up the scar tissue in his, lungs, down regulating the inflammation, and opening up his airways so he could breathe much easier. We were all pleased with his quick recovery.

If you, or anyone you know suffers from a chronic lung condition, please call my office for a complimentary consultation. We will take a history of your condition and find the best method of treatment possible to help reduce your symptoms quickly, and determine if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime, while keeping up with your grandkids!

Peptides 101: What They Are and What They Do in the Aging Body in North Scottsdale AZ https://www.caringpainrelief.com/peptides-101/ Wed, 04 Feb 2026 21:14:33 +0000 https://www.caringpainrelief.com/?p=21956 Peptides 101: What They Are and What They Do in the Aging Body In North Scottsdale AZ So, everyone's either talking about peptides or taking peptides today.

Peptides 101: What They Are and What They Do in the Aging Body In North Scottsdale AZ

Woman sitting indoors holding a smartphone, appearing relaxed in a casual and comfortable setting.

So, everyone's either talking about peptides or taking peptides today. It seems like a new health fad, but these small molecules are making a big impact for those looking to include anti-aging into their health regimens. Not all the peptides out there are for anti-aging, but many of the benefits from them include properties that help patients feel great and have the energy to exercise, get things done, and improve their performance. The problem arises when I hear people are buying them online, getting them from a friend’s prescription, or from “the guy in the gym”. This is why I’m writing this article today, to explain about peptides in North Scottsdale AZ, what they do, and why you should understand why getting them from a trusted source is absolutely necessary. I will also explain how they are so important for us as we age.


What are peptides in North Scottsdale AZ?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a role in how the body communicates, repairs itself, and adapts over time. While they are present throughout life, their activity and availability change as we age, influencing processes such as tissue repair, immune function, metabolism, and hormone signaling. Understanding what peptides are, and what they do in the aging body, helps us to understand why certain functions slow down with age and how science is working  to support healthier aging.


Opting for surgery or injections for knee pain.

I’ve written articles you can see on my website about the damage to cartilage from steroid and hyaluronic acid injections. The research is there, and I feel passionate as to why a physician would continue to inject a patient’s joint with either drug, knowing they are causing more damage in the long run. I do realize that most insurances cover these procedures, but that does not make it an appropriate treatment that is in your best interest. Regenerative therapies, including stem cells, exosomes, ozone and PRP are designed to signal the body to regenerate the tissue that has been damaged due to age or injury. Do not have treatments that may ruin your joints by causing further damage.


So what do peptides really have to do with a healthy aging process?

Some of the main concerns we have as we age, are tissue repair and wound healing, collagen and connective tissue integrity, immune function, and muscle growth, mainly for independence, strength, and balance. These issues are all supported and enhanced healthily by specifically prescribed peptides. In a later article, I will review some specific peptides that are best suited for these issues and more.


Why is it so important to know the source of the peptides?

First of all, if you are injecting anything into your body, you should always know the source, and what is in it. The pharmacies that dispense peptides must have a specific license for different types of peptides. Many of the “pharmacies” out there do not.

Here are a few important things to know regarding the pharmacy that is dispensing the peptides, even on-line sources.


State Pharmacy License

Any pharmacy, whether it compounds medications or not—must be licensed by the state board of pharmacy in the state where it operates. There are other licences that allow pharmacies to compound and sell specific types of peptides only.

Many of these peptides online are research grade, not medical grade. Research grade peptides are mainly used for animal studies. This does not count as being dispensed under a pharmacy license and does not make the product legal , nor safe for human use.

There are still many other regulations and laws that pharmacies compounding and selling peptides must abide to, but there are more than I will add in this article.


Why is a medical history necessary before starting peptide therapy?

Especially as we age, it is absolutely necessary to have a medical history taken and, in some cases, a physical exam as well.

Peptides can influence hormone signaling, immune activity, inflammation, and cell growth. A medical history helps us to determine whether these are serious concerns or whether you have these conditions:

  • Prior or current cancer
  • Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Kidney or liver impairment

These factors can make certain peptides inappropriate or require very close monitoring. A history will also guide the prescriber as to the exact dosing that is best for you. Skipping this step increases the risk of potential side effects and other consequences.


Peptides are biologically active compounds, not supplements. They must be used safely, selectively, and responsibly, particularly in older adults where the margin for error is smaller. Peptides can be wonderful additions to your health regimen, just be sure and have trained, medical guidance throughout the process. At Accurate Care Medical Wellness Center, we have a team of physicians and other medical practitioners who are trained in peptide therapy and keep up on the most recent research. We are happy to be your source to turn to for safe, healthy peptide treatments, so you will get the best results, as we use the highest quality peptides possible for your treatment plan.

If you or anyone you know is interested in peptide therapy done the right way, please call my office. I offer a complimentary consultation to see if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime. My readers receive special discounts on treatment plans as well.

New Year Health Resolutions. This time let’s talk about what we shouldn’t do instead In North Scottsdale AZ

New Year Health Resolutions in North Scottsdale AZ

Every year, many people set resolutions for better health in North Scottsdale AZ. Then, in most cases, by February, the excitement of those resolutions has faded. It seems like the harder you are on yourself, the less chance the resolutions will stick. In the past 30 years of practice, I rarely see patients follow through on their health goals for the year. This is a major reason I’ve written articles in July suggesting rekindling those resolutions once again. Routinely, the resolutions are filled with things to do, instead of things not to do. I find that it’s easier to make a list of things we shouldn’t do to stay healthy instead. Let’s discuss some of these now.


Fast weight loss programs that involve injections in North Scottsdale AZ

Here we are approaching the new year. Most people set their main health goal as weight loss. Lately, the popular weight loss method is the injection of GLP-1. This was designed to be used by diabetics with difficulty losing weight. It was intended to be used for the rest of their life. At this time, most patients are on it for a short time, lose their weight, and then gain the weight back. This is very unhealthy. You do not need to be a doctor to figure this out. There is no quick fix for weight loss, or any health issue. The work has to be done, that’s all. I will suggest the next time you are offered a drug, ask yourself, or the pharmacist, what is the mechanism behind it, and what else in the body needs to happen for the drug to work? This is how things lead to dangerous effects. Side effects just don’t “happen”. They occur as a result of the other pathways that are affected by the drug. This is the reason I want you to understand that this is not a choice you should make for weight loss. In my office, I do not allow GLP-1 drugs. We offer, however, a drug free weight loss program that allows you to eat your own food, while losing weight, and keeping it off.


Opting for surgery or injections for knee pain.

I’ve written articles you can see on my website about the damage to cartilage from steroid and hyaluronic acid injections. The research is there, and I feel passionate as to why a physician would continue to inject a patient’s joint with either drug, knowing they are causing more damage in the long run. I do realize that most insurances cover these procedures, but that does not make it an appropriate treatment that is in your best interest. Regenerative therapies including stem cells, exosomes, ozone and PRP are designed to signal the body to regenerate the tissue that has been damaged due to age or injury. Do not have treatments that may ruin your joints by causing further damage.


Having ablation for spinal nerves, or even spinal surgery as the first option.

Most doctors will tell the patient that ablations may only last about 6 months, if they even relieve nerve pain at all. A number of things can go wrong when you burn a nerve, and the consequences are high. Many patients who come to me have had ablations, and are still in pain. Spinal surgery may fail up to 76%. This is quite a high number, and I understand that the patients who have found this to be true in my 30 years of practice. Receiving alternative spinal treatment that is scientifically proven, including specific protocols that work together, like Cox Technic, acupuncture, and electrical stimulation help reduce pain. I have helped  thousands of patients to get their life back without drugs or surgery, and even those who have had failed surgery. Please visit my website for testimonial videos on all of the above.


Increase exercise.

This is probably number one of all. Most patients tell me they want to increase their exercise in the new year. I caution them to increase slowly, and to try not to go back to the level they were at years ago or even 1 year ago. This is how injuries happen. We all want to get back to our old exercise routine when we felt and looked better, but it’s a process. Yes, you can increase your exercise, but please know that you can do the same exercise routine with more intensity and concentration. This will give you better results with a much less chance of injury. Joining a more expensive gym, increasing exercise classes, or taking longer hikes or bike rides may not be necessary. Please take the time to perfect the exercise you are doing, and it may save you time, money and possible injuries.

If you, or anyone you know may be interested in any of the treatments I mentioned above, please call my office to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime, and keeping your new year resolutions!

Stem cell myths that might be holding you back In North Scottsdale AZ

Stem cell myths that might be holding you back in North Scottsdale AZ

Let’s talk about things you may have heard about stem cells and what is real. So many of my patients have asked me to write on this subject, so here we go.


Does the baby’s mother donate the umbilical cord, or is she paid?

The umbilical cord is donated. There is no money being paid to the parents, doctor, or hospital for the tissue. There are also very stringent questions that must be answered in order for the donation process to be completed. With the lab we use for our stem cells at Accurate Care, there are approximately 90 questions on the form that the parents must answer. These questions include their personal and family history, travel history, work history, and toxic exposure. Prenatal and partner’s history. These questions are asked to determine the quality of that cord. The questions must be answered so the tissue bank can determine if there are any concerns whatsoever that may disqualify the donation.


Is stem cell therapy illegal or unregulated in the U.S.?

Stem cell therapy in the U.S. is regulated, not unregulated, and not illegal when conducted properly. The concern lies in the many clinics operating outside FDA oversight, offering unproven treatments marketed directly to consumers, which is illegal and potentially dangerous. At Accurate Care, we are cautious and specific as to what conditions we work with. We never make claims that are untrue, nor do we utilize treatments that have not been proven to be safe and effective for each condition. Please be wary of clinics that make promises to “cure” your condition. No clinic should ever make those claims.


Is stem cell research unethical?

Most stem cell research today involves adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), or umbilical cord blood—none of which involve destroying embryos. At Accurate Care, we use cells from a donated umbilical cord.


Are stem cell treatments covered by insurance?

About 99.9% of insurances do not cover stem cell treatments. Most insurance companies follow a medical model that pays for surgery and medications. For the rare company that does cover some treatments, (I have not personally come across one, but have been told there are a few) they have found that over time, the stem cell treatments will eventually save the company a lot of money in the future, as the conditions may be resolved to the point of no longer needing to be medically managed with drugs or surgery.


What do stem cells cost?

The cost of stem cells will eventually come down. The technology is improving and becoming more efficient. Many patients are seeking it out more frequently. They are frustrated with traditional treatments that involve necessary down time that our society today has no time for. In our office, here in Scottsdale, the cost may differ in different parts of the country. It depends on the type of method we use, whether it be a local injection, or a number of injections we plan on injecting. Or if we use intravenous, (IV). It also depends on the age, body weight, and health issues of the patient. Each person is unique, as is their condition, and how they will respond to the stem cells. In our clinic, the cost ranges from $1,500 to $13,000. I do my best to offer my patients different options, so that they can benefit from at least a level of treatment they can afford.


Why can’t I just go to Mexico or another country and get the same treatment for less money?

First of all, you have to ask where are the donors from? The prenatal care is quite often at a particular level that is not at the level we have here in the US. The US still has the highest level of screening out infectious diseases and genetic disorders. The processing of the cells is also very important. How are the cells being checked, and how are the labs validating exactly what is in the product. Without going into all of the issues involved, I believe I’ve given you enough questions here that we have to answer to in the US. You cannot count on these questions being answered at the same level in other countries. There are a couple of clinics I refer to in 2 other countries, however, they are American clinics that are held to American standards. The reason I refer patients to them is because here in the US, there are some conditions that we cannot treat here. Once a patient decides to go to one of those clinics out of the US, the patient’s pre and post treatment care is done in our clinic. This ensures that the patient is watched closely, both legally and ethically.

I hope this helps to debunk some questions you may have regarding stem cell treatments, and you won’t be held back in making your decision to have the treatments you deserve.

My purpose is to help as many people as I can with stem cells. Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to extend 30% off for another 30 days. Please call my office to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime.

the top questions we get from patients about healing from regenerative therapies In North Scottsdale AZ

chiropractic care for sciatica and back pain

Most recently, the Naturopath in my office and I shared some of the most common questions patients ask us about their recovery after receiving regenerative treatments in our North Scottsdale AZ office.


“How long does it take to feel better?”

We agreed that this is the top question asked, and the answer we give is, “It depends.” The condition, the patient’s health and inflammation prior to the therapy, the patient’s age, diet, and a few other factors that may either accelerate their results or slow them down. We coach our patients to follow a non-inflammatory diet prior to their treatments, and to be cautious about taking NSAIDS and some supplements that are anti- inflammatory, for a couple of weeks prior. Tylenol/ acetaminophen is not an NSAID, and is allowed. NSAIDs are not recommended, because we actually want to have some inflammation where the site of the injection is, so the cells will know where to go. We recommend a non-inflammatory diet at the same time. Why? Because if the entire body is inflamed, the cells may go to many areas and will not be as potent in the area we want them to go. Healing mechanisms take approximately 3-4 weeks to fully activate. Healing continues for 12-18 months


“Does it hurt?”

With most injections, there may be some discomfort that lasts only a short while. You may experience an increase in pain or symptoms in the days following treatment. Otherwise, these treatments are generally pain free. Provided you stay out of tubs and swimming pools for at least 2 days, you should not be exposed to anything that may cause an infection at the injection site.


“Can I eat and drink what I want?”

Maintain good nutrition as mentioned above, and hydration. Discontinuing smoking and alcoholic beverage consumption during the healing process will ensure the best results.


“When can I exercise?”

No excessive activity immediately following treatment. No heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity for at least 1 week following treatment.


“Can I drive myself home?”

Yes. There are no restrictions on driving after your treatments, unless there were restrictions prior to your appointment.


“What else can I do on my own to increase my results in North Scottsdale AZ?”

Trying to eat foods as recommended by us is one of the easiest ways to increase your results. We show you sites and an app that helps you to make better choices at the grocery store. Reducing your stress is always a good idea to decrease internal inflammatory pathways that may interfere with your healing of any type of treatments, not only regenerative ones. Ask questions to myself and my Naturopath here in my office. Trying to search for answers online that may not be the best for you, may also interfere with your treatment plan we have designed especially for your condition.


Should you or anyone else you know want a second opinion on joint surgery, I offer complimentary consultations to see if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime.

We also offer therapies for nerve damage as well. Please call my office for an appointment.

Prioritizing Your Health: Is It Really Worth Compromising in North Scottsdale AZ?

You've spent years building a lifestyle defined by comfort, success, and rewarding experiences. Now, as you embrace your later years, it's becoming clear that your greatest treasure isn't your wealth, it's your health. Contact our North Scottsdale AZ chiropractic clinic today to learn more.


What Is The Key To Success In North Scottsdale AZ

Celebrating my 30th year as a physician, I’ve observed why some patients recover faster and maintain better overall wellness. Their key to success? They never compromise their health. My commitment, widely recognized through my work online, television, radio, and newspaper, is straightforward: empowering people to enjoy long, vibrant, pain-free lives without drugs or surgery.

At first glance, premium natural healthcare may seem more costly. But ask yourself honestly: what would it really cost you, in lost time, comfort, and overall life quality, to settle for something less?

Take knee replacement surgery, for instance. Often overlooked are the hidden costs, lengthy downtime, painful recovery periods, dependency on caregivers, ongoing appointments, and medications. There are also the inherent risks and stress associated with surgical procedures and prolonged rehabilitation.

Natural and regenerative treatments present a clear alternative. Patients who choose these methods spend significantly less time in medical offices and pharmacies, thereby reducing disruptions to their everyday lives and their general health. They maintain their independence, mobility, and precious time with family and friends.
The long-term results reinforce this approach. Those investing in proactive health care typically face fewer chronic issues, experience fewer flare-ups, and enjoy a noticeably better quality of life.

Savvy patients recognize that true value lies not in minimal upfront expenses but in sustained health, happiness, and independence. Prioritizing your health now ensures you won’t face greater costs, financially, physically, and emotionally in the future.

Ultimately, the essential question isn't whether premium natural healthcare costs more upfront; it's whether you're willing to risk your long-term wellbeing by choosing anything less.

If you're committed to naturally maintaining optimum health, vitality, and well-being, and you appreciate the real value of investing in yourself, then we invite you to experience exceptional care tailored specifically for you.


Come Celebrate With Us

To celebrate my 30th anniversary of graduating, I am offering 30% off regenerative treatments, including stem cells for 30 days only, from April 16th to May 15th. This offer is unrepeatable. Please call my office to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if you qualify for treatments that keep you in the game of life without stressful downtime.

When It Comes To Your Health, Check Your Motive To Get The Best Results in North Scottsdale AZ

First of all, what are your real goals? To get the results you are looking for, ask yourself if these goals are really going to get yourself in your best health? I can help walk you through this process to find the best results for what you’re looking for with chiropractic in North Scottsdale AZ.


What Is Your Goal In North Scottsdale AZ?

Are you focusing on any specific health goals right now? Being clear on why you’re making health-related choices, whether it's for longevity, energy, confidence, or something deeper, can help keep you motivated and aligned with what truly matters to you. In some cases, it may make sense to have your goals aligned with those who matter most in your life, such as family, friends and others. Just please remember to have your goals align with yourself first.


Step-By-Step

Focusing on the right health goals means choosing ones that align with your values, lifestyle, and long-term well-being rather than short-term trends, diets, or external pressures. Here’s my step-by-step approach to get clear on what truly matters:

  • Define Your “Why”: Ask yourself: What’s my deeper reason for improving my health?
    Is it to have more energy? Avoid illness? Feel stronger? Improve mental clarity?
  • Set Goals That Are Meaningful to YOU: Avoid setting goals just because they’re trendy, or your friends are doing it. Pick ones that genuinely excite and motivate you.
  • Make Them Specific & Realistic: Instead of “I want to be healthier,” try “I will exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times a week.” Ensure they fit into your lifestyle so they’re sustainable long term.
  • Balance Short-Term & Long-Term Goals: Short-term: Drink more water daily, get 7-8 hours of sleep. Long-term: Improve cardiovascular health, build strength, reduce stress.
  • Listen to Your Body, Not Just Trends: Your ideal diet, exercise, and wellness routine should be based on what makes you feel good, not just what works for someone else.
  • Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Small, consistent steps will get you further than unrealistic, all-or-nothing approaches.
  • Check in with Yourself Regularly: Are your goals still serving you? Adjust as needed! Would you say you’re more focused on fitness, nutrition, mental well-being, or all the above?
  • Here is what I might consider the most important consideration of all: It is probably the highest advertised mainstream pressure on people in this country today. I wrote an article on the fact that if your health is dependent on your healthcare coverage, you are probably not very healthy. You are perhaps on several medications, and have many doctor’s appointments every week, or every month. You might get sick more often as well.

Of course, there are conditions that require increased doctor’s visits, and medications, but I’m talking about the average person. Insurance covers drugs and surgery. It is a business model that works the Big Pharma, and that’s OK. It is just sad when people do not even see that there is a trend to increase prescriptions and medical procedures that feed into the system. I have no problem with those procedures that are life or death, increase quality of life, etc, but what I’ve been seeing over the past 30 years I’ve been in practice, is that patients are funneled into the system, and have nowhere to turn, as they want to trust their physician.

The number of over-utilized medical visits, procedures, and medications has increased tremendously since I graduated in 1995. My purpose is to help as many people as possible to live long healthy happy lives without drugs or surgery. It has become more difficult with this new medical trend of funneling the patient into a system that mainly only helps the medical system. One physician who left a major hospital said, “They keep sick people sick.”


How Can I Help?

My goal is to help educate people so they can go into a health condition with their eyes wide open. I can coach you on what questions to ask, and how to choose the right doctors for your condition. My office is integrated with medical as well as alternative. I like this combination, as it offers the patient the best of both worlds, without hiding the alternative decisions they make from their medical doctor. There are enough patients for all physicians, so that they do not need to hide other treatments from patients that actually work, as the doctor may be afraid of losing that patient. It has to be more than money that motivates the doctor to do what is best for the patient.

As physicians and other medical practitioners, we all took an oath to do no harm. By not offering a suggestion or referral for what we do not provide, is a disservice to the patient, and in some cases, may do the patient harm. If I leave you with one thing, remember that the title of my column is “The Other Side of Your Health Story” I will also give you the other side or option that you may or may not have heard from your other doctor or doctors. And remember that the best treatments may not be offered on insurance. Please think outside of the box and realize that the best treatments for you are most likely not covered by your insurance.

I offer complimentary consultations for my readers, so please call my office for an appointment. For any questions regarding my articles, or to be added to our invitation list for our evening champagne and charcuterie or morning coffee events, please contact me at

Are you really getting stem cells In North Scottsdale AZ?

Are You Really Getting Stem Cells in North Scottsdale AZ

So many patients come to my office and tell me they’ve had “stem cells” at their hospital or doctor’s office and when I listen to what they have to say about their treatment, I find what they’ve had, and what they think they had is totally different. HCT, formally known as stem cells are specific, and must be explained to the patient in that way. Contact our North Scottsdale AZ chiropractic clinic today to learn more.


Let’s talk about what they are not.

If the procedure you had done, was to draw your blood, spin it down in a centrifuge, and inject the remaining plasma back into you, that, alone is not stem cells. That is called PRP or platelet rich plasma. It is processed to concentrate the platelets. PRP is rich in growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. As we age, the platelets that promote healing are decreased. By age 60, they are at a very low concentration in our blood. They will help in healing minor cuts, and other things that need to heal in our body, but they are not at a level to specifically go into a joint and rebuild cartilage, or collagen for aesthetics. This procedure may have been done in conjunction with an HCT injection, however, if that was the only injection you received, you did not receive stem cells. This is misleading to the patient, as they now are expecting the results they would have received by having an HCT procedure. In our office, we rarely use PRP alone as a regenerative therapy. It is used in conjunction with at least ozone, or true HCT to give the patient the best chance possible for regeneration.


So again, are you really getting stem cells In North Scottsdale AZ?

The term, stem cells, is widely used, mainly because the public recognizes this term. The FDA requires that the terminology be changed to Human Cellular Tissue Product or HCT. This is because all the regenerative products do not always include actual stem cells, but other types of cells as well. Remember my analogy of asking a bartender for tequila, and he gives you a margarita. You tell him you asked for tequila, and he tells you yes, there is tequila in the drink, along with triple sec, sour mix, and sometimes more. That is like HCT, as there may be stem cells in the product, but there may be other extra cellular products as well in the latest, cutting edge formulas. In my office, we use cells that come from a prescreened mother who has had a Cesarean section live birth. She donates her baby's umbilical cord and placenta to the FDA regulated tissue bank and the cells are used. This is a safe, effective, ethical and legal source. The products are then kept frozen at minus 40-80 degrees Centigrade and shipped over night to my office. They are used within hours of receiving them. This is very important to know how they are stored, and when they are used in order for the products to be safe and viable.

For any questions regarding my articles, or to sign up for private or group guided shopping trips for non-inflammatory food choices to Costco and other local markets, or to be added to our invitation list for our evening or morning informative events, or please contact me at DrLeisa@CaringPainRelief.com or call my office.

My 6 Tips On How To Get The Best Results From Your Regenerative Therapy Treatments In North Scottsdale AZ

My 6 Tips On How To Get The Best Results From Your Regenerative Therapy Treatments in North Scottsdale AZ

Every day, patients ask me what percentage recovery they will have once receiving regenerative treatments at our North Scottsdale AZ chiropractic clinic. My answer, is, "It depends." Of course, how you treat your body, what you eat and drink, and your lifestyle plays a very important role in your outcome. We find that the average patient who visits us has tried as many as 12-18 methods of treatment before coming to my office. Getting the best out of regenerative therapies, such as HCTP, (stem cell treatments), PRP (platelet-rich plasma), ozone therapy, or other regenerative methods, requires a combination of careful planning, preparation, and follow-through. Here are how we maximize your benefits in my office:


Consult with an experienced practitioner In North Scottsdale AZ

Choose a reputable clinic or specialist with experience in the specific therapy you're considering. It's crucial that they have a proven track record with real patient testimonials and use evidence-based methods. We have patients who are willing to speak with new patients to share their results from our clinic. It cannot be emphasized enough that you go to someone who stays current on the changes in this field. There are protocols that we are using now that were unheard of even last year at this time. More research is being done and the field is changing for the better quite rapidly. I hire only experienced injectors, and I attend at least 3 regenerative conferences a year. A major issue I see with patients who have received regenerative therapies like PRP, have not been told that patients over 55 have a much less chance of positive results, as we just do not have enough of our own regenerative cells to grow new tissue. It's a shame when the doctor does not tell the patient that, and then the patient is disappointed with their results. We combine PRP with other therapies to make it work to its best potential for the patient.

Be honest about your health history, lifestyle, and expectations. This will help us customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Yes, we will help your condition, but we need your honesty and details.


Set realistic expectations

Know that regenerative therapies typically take time to show results. Unless you've had an accident, it did not happen overnight, so it will not heal overnight. Unlike some conventional treatments that provide instant relief, regenerative treatments stimulate healing, which can take weeks or even months to see the full benefit.

Keep in mind that not every individual will respond the same way to these therapies. Each patient has their own condition and lifestyle.


Follow pre-treatment instructions.

Before undergoing regenerative therapy, some treatments may require specific preparations, such as dietary adjustments, stopping certain medications, or refraining from alcohol and smoking for a while. I can go on a trip with you to Costco or other markets to help you make better choices of foods you love without adding inflammatory foods to your diet prior to your HCT treatment in our office. This helps you to decrease systemic inflammation that may cause your cells to be lost in other areas in your body other than where you want the most regeneration. This is yet another step for us to go above and beyond to help you get the best results possible.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.


Stay consistent with aftercare

Adhere to post-treatment protocols. For a few days, this may include rest, avoiding strain in the treated area, hot baths or hot tubs, or other care guidelines designed to support your recovery.

Many therapies, such as PRP or stem cell injections, work best when combined with certain exercises or therapies.


Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle

Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly (as permitted), and stay hydrated to support your body's natural healing process. I will walk you through this easy process.


Patience is Key

Results from regenerative therapies can sometimes take time to manifest, and multiple sessions may be required. Ensure you're prepared for a gradual process rather than expecting immediate results.

Keep track of your progress and communicate any concerns with your practitioner.


Integrate Complementary Therapies

Sometimes, regenerative treatments are most effective when combined with other supportive therapies such as chiropractic care, acupuncture and nutritional guidance, as mentioned above. These can help enhance the healing process and improve long-term results.


Follow Up Regularly

Schedule follow-up appointments with your practitioner to monitor your progress. These check-ins allow us to assess your healing and decide if any adjustments are needed to your treatment plan.

By approaching regenerative therapies with a holistic mindset-blending professional care, proper aftercare, and a healthy lifestyle-you can increase the likelihood of achieving optimal results.
