Wellness Center in Raleigh Offers Safer Alternative to Cortisone Shots – Oldies 97.7 FM

Raleigh, United States – July 22, 2019 / Living Well Balanced /

Living Well Balanced Holistic and Integrative Health Care, a full-service wellness center in Raleigh, NC, is pleased to announce regenerative injections for chronic pain. This revolutionary new treatment offers a safer alternative to cortisone injections for the management of arthritic joints and other chronic painful conditions. The regenerative medicine program completes the range of natural pain relief therapies offered by the center.

“This groundbreaking new treatment is a ray of hope for people who have been living with pain for years. It is a chance for them to live a pain-free, productive life without exposing themselves to potentially dangerous treatments, such as cortisone shots,” explains Ankur Prakash, DC, the center’s founder. “Individuals who have not responded to steroid injections, or those who have obtained insufficient pain relief, may benefit from the regenerative medicine treatments,” he adds.

Cortisone injections are commonly used to relieve inflammation and pain from arthritis and other disease conditions. However, they are associated with a number of side effects. Steroids can induce or worsen diabetes. Rather than healing damaged cartilage and bone, cortisone may cause further deterioration in these tissues, ultimately causing more harm than good. Although glucocorticoids are a good short-term measure for pain relief, they do not offer a long-term solution.

The new treatments offered at Living Well Balanced Holistic and Integrative Health Care are safe and effective. Regenerative injections consist essentially of amniotic tissues obtained from carefully-screened healthy donors. “These injections are a potent cocktail of growth factors, proteins, and supporting matrix that aid the body in healing itself,” says Dr. Prakash. The components of the amniotic tissue allografts propel damaged tissues towards repair. The treatment creates an environment of healing and provides the body with the ingredients it needs for regeneration and repair. Importantly, regenerative treatments do not cause any of the complications caused by cortisone. In fact, they are being called game changers in the management of chronic pain.

Established in 2004, Living Well Balanced Holistic and Integrative Health Care is a wellness center where safer, more natural alternatives to pain management are preferred. The newest treatments on offer, regenerative injections, are a step in the same direction. People with painful shoulders, elbows, hips, back, knees, and feet due to arthritis, injury, or age-related degeneration can benefit from these treatments. These injections may allow some individuals to avoid major joint replacement surgery. In people who have already received artificial joints, the regenerative injections can speed up recovery.

Patient safety is paramount at Living Well Balanced Holistic and Integrative Health Care. The regenerative products used at the center are sourced from Predictive Biotech, a leader in the field. The amniotic tissues are obtained from consenting mothers during elective cesarean sections. Donors are carefully screened for behavioral risks and past medical history as well as contagious diseases. The amniotic tissues are processed in an FDA-registered lab and stored and transported under ideal conditions.

In addition to regenerative treatments, Living Well Balanced offers a complete range of wellness services, including chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, cryotherapy, personal training, and nutrition. The comprehensive, individualized approach ensures that people seeking a no-drug approach to chronic pain can look forward to pain relief without worsening the underlying condition or putting themselves at risk of serious side effects. The cutting-edge regenerative treatments provided at Living Well Balanced are setting a new benchmark in natural pain management. Customized treatment plans are administered by a team of trained therapists, led by Dr. Prakash himself.
