Letters from Leanne

Let's talk about joint pain – because it's not just for the over 60 crowd anymore. Knees clicking when you stand? Shoulder feels like it's been replaced with gravel? Welcome to the curb – now let's get you out of of it!

Joint pain comes in all flavors: old injuries flaring up, arthritis, playing the long game, or your attempt at "getting back in shape "by going too hard on one day. (You know who you are.)

Whatever the cause, ignoring it and hoping it magically disappears rarely works. Pain pills only quiet the complaint line temporarily. What you need is a strategy that actually fixes the issue and keeps it from coming back like you're in-laws during the holidays.

Platelette Rich plasma, PRP therapy, sounds fancy – and it kind of is – but it's also straight from your own body, so you already know the ingredients are clean. We take a small sample of your blood, spin it around like it's on a carnival ride, and extract the platelets that are packed with growth factors – think of them like construction workers for your joints.

Then, we inject that golden repair juice right into the area that needs help. Your body does the rest: reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and boost healing. It's like upgrading your bodies, natural repair crew to first class.

Study show that PRP can help reduce pain and improve function and issues like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and post surgical recovery. PRP is powerful, but let's be honest – it's not magic. If you're still walking like a wounded pirate and doing zero to help yourself, your results will reflect that.

That's why we pair PRP with a comprehensive approach design to not only heal, but also prevent your pain from making a dramatic comeback:
‍
Rehab therapy: customized movement plans to rebuild strength, improve range of motion, and make you less likely to hobble out of bed.

Chiropractic adjustments: get realigned so your joints aren't grinding like bad brakes.

Compression therapy: because your lymphatic system needs love too. Help helps reduce swelling and gets everything flowing again.

Infrared sauna: not just for spa vibes – it increases circulation, detox, and your muscles say "thank you".

Red light therapy: scientifically proven light waves to reduce inflammation and promote healing. (No, it won't turn you into a superhero. We checked.)

Cold water immersion: cold plunge to reduce pain and inflammation. It's brutal... But effective. Like your favorite workout instructor.

This isn't a buffet – it's a protocol. We combine these therapies strategically to amplify your recovery and get to the root cause so the pain doesn't just disappear, it's stays gone. Let's stop throwing ice packs at a chronic issue and start rebuilding smarter.

Don't just take my word for it – go ahead and order out for yourself. These are just a few of them many studies out there. Honestly, it's pretty exciting that we finally have a real, science packed ways to help our bodies heal naturally (without signing up for a lifelong pain, meds or surgery).
