IV Treatments
“The researchers concluded that multivitamins don’t reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline (such as memory loss and slowed-down thinking) or an early death.”-John Hopkins Medicine. With the low percentage that is absorbed through intestines, intravenous treatments have a variety of not only benefits, but also absorption advantages. With an IV, the body can process levels of vitamins that the gut could never tolerate.
Lab Services
A Lab tests clinical specimens to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. These specimens could include blood, saliva or urine
Immunotherapy
Allergy shots, also known as subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), are the most commonly used and most effective form of allergy immunotherapy. This is the only treatment that can change the immune system making it possible to prevent the development of new allergies and reduce the effects of current ones. Depending on the type of allergy you have, you can train your body to become less allergic to substances such as grass pollens, dust mites and certain foods. Immunotherapy involves giving gradually increasing doses of the allergen to become less sensitive to the substance.
Hormone Replacements
HRT is used to help balance estrogen and progesterone in women around the time of menopause. It can help relieve sweating, hot flashes, osteoporosis and other symptoms of menopause. For men experience andropause symptoms can include low sex drive, lack of energy, depression. irritability and mood swings and loss of strength or muscle mass. Once levels are tested, a therapeutic dose is administered weekly until appropriate goals are met.
Tesla MRI System
Patients requiring an MRI of the hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle or knee benefit from a totally non-claustrophobic, quiet, quick, comfortable and convenient experience with a specialized extremity MRI System.
Sudomotor Dysfunction
This analyzes the sweat and nerve response of the hands and feet in a completely non-invasive manner. Positive findings can point to nerve damage in the feet and hands caused by diabetes, high blood glucose, poor vascularization, and other diseases. An increase or decrease in the sweat response can also indicate nervous system disorders and reasons for further study.
Heart Rate Variability Assessment
HRV has been studied for a few decades now and from the Framingham Heart Study, it is one of the most important factor to predict a cardiovascular event. Low HRV may indicate a sedimentary lifestyle and the immediate need to increase activity. A low HRV score have a poor prognosis for patients with a history of diabetes with an increased risk of autonomic neuropathy and sudden cardiac death.
Endothelial Dysfunction
Endothelial function is an important marker for major cardiovascular risk factors which include aging, hyper-homocysteinemia, post menopause, smoking, diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, and hypertension. It is also important to note that endothelial dysfunction is the earliest sign of CVD and once there is dysfunction, is identified, we can expect to see a degradation and stiffness (atherosclerosis) of the artery wall over time.
Allergy Testing
The allergen blood test looks for a specific substance(s) a person might have with acute or chronic allergy-like symptoms. Especially if the symptoms reoccur and seem to be tied to particular triggers like certain foods or environments. Other allergy tests may be used exposing a person to different substances under careful medical supervision. A healthcare practitioner will interpret the results of the test in comparison with a person’s symptoms and a treatment with immunotherapy may be prescribed.
Sleep Study
These tests monitor while you sleep to help diagnose disorders like sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, insomnia, and nighttime behaviors like sleepwalking and REM sleep behavior disorder. Sleep studies can be performed in a sleep lab or equipment can be sent home with you and tested in your own bed.
