Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine offers an extensive menu of regenerative therapies to alleviate pain. Dr. Matan Umanoff, D.C. and Chiropractic Physician explained what some of them are and how they work.
Q: What services does Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine provide?
A: “Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine offers traditional and holistic services such as blood work, hormone replacement therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, SoftWave, spinal decompression, traction, joint injections, IVs, PRP, Stem Cell treatment and more.”
Q: What is SoftWave?
A: “SoftWave is a unique treatment that helps heal superficial as well as deeper pain by creating new blood vessels around the injured tissue so that patients can feel and move better.”
Q: What leading factor limits mobility?
A: “When your body is hurting, it uses the path of least resistance in order for you to do the bare minimums of your everyday actions like walking to the kitchen or going to the bathroom. When you move differently, you end up using muscles that get overworked because they are now doing the job of other muscles on top of their own job. This is the biggest contributor to spinal issues, whether that’s pinched nerves, disc bulges or even some herniations.”
Q: Is it possible to take the pressure off of those disc and nerve injuries?
A: “Yes. We have a spinal decompression table that mechanically and comfortably opens up your back by the millimeter so that you can get the relief you need. All you have to do is lie there and relax or maybe catch up on a nap because the machine feels that good while you are on it. This technology prevents the need for back surgery –even for patients who have been in some pretty serious car accidents– as it eliminates, or at the very least, reduces all of their symptoms.”
Q: What are the benefits of Stem Cell treatment?
A: “Stem Cells provide a boost at the cellular level, fundamentally restructuring the basic building blocks of what’s hurt in your body. We source, save and inject the Stem Cells so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than getting better. Our Physician’s Assistant, Roger Hazard, is available to answer any questions about this process.”
Q: What other advice do you recommend for eliminating pain?
A: “The therapies mentioned above are what we call ‘passive treatments,’ meaning that they are done to you without any muscle activation on your own. When these approaches are paired with our chiropractic and physical therapy care, led by Dr. Todd Brown and Dr. Gabe Botero, respectively, they build on top of each other so that we can help heal your body and make sure that the original injury doesn’t come back.”
Q: How does a patient know which treatments to choose?
“We have an initial comprehensive exam that is reviewed by all of our providers so that we can determine which treatments are best for each individual’s needs. Then our team drafts a plan that is specific to each patient.”
Q: Why should patients consider a comprehensive care plan through Elite Healthcare?
A: “As we’ve been in South Mount Pleasant for almost ten years, we have seen a lot of people and have impacted a lot of lives –that is the main reason that all of our practitioners were attracted to the healthcare industry. With our combined experience, we know what works and we have plenty of tools at our disposal to make you the best version of yourself in the quickest possible fashion.
