Scars and Burns

Medical News Today:

The AAD recommend the following medical options for reducing scars:

• Steroid injections, which may ease pain and reduce the size of keloid and other scars.

• Laser treatments, which can reduce redness, pain, and hardness of keloid and other scars.

• Surgery to remove scar tissue, reducing the size of keloid scars and improving skin movement.

While these treatments can help to reduce scars, all of them result in further invasive measures. They may not remove the scars completely, and healing from the treatment itself can take additional time and may result in further scarring and complications.

Healing Body Wellness utilizes evidence-based technology to aid in the healing and dissipation of adhesions, scar appearance and fibrous attachments from deep burns, skin grafting and scarring from surgery. We utilize FDA approved technology that when applied to affected areas, improves elasticity and ease of movement as well as skin texture and appearance.

Diminishing Cellulite

Cellulite has a secret. It is not just inherited from your mother.

Cellulite is a condition where fibrous connective tissue internally attaches skin to the underlying muscle tissue. The result is a dimpled, orange-peel like appearance and texture of the skin’s surface, usually accumulating on the hips, thighs and buttocks. This connective tissue condition is more prevalent in women who, typically foster more body fat than men. Genetics and skin elasticity can also be factors in the accumulation of cellulite.

Healing Body Wellness can eliminate the appearance of cellulite. Utilizing FDA approved technology, cellulite or the connective formations are broken own, detaching the fibrous tissue connections, resulting in smoother skin texture and appearance.

Breast Augmentation / Reconstruction Complications

The body’s response to breast augmentation, varies from person to person. The human body is internally sensitive and, thus, very protective of itself. Medications, trauma, and surgery can all create reactions from our body we identify as side-effects. Most oftentimes the use of medication and benefits experienced from surgery outweigh the side-effects, however, side-effects can also prove to be debilitating and even irreversible.

Capsule Contracture or Breast Encapsulation is a known side-effect many women experience after breast augmentation and/or reconstruction surgery. This process, or reaction can begin immediately after surgery, and can lead to a lifetime of discomfort and even become debilitating. Recovery and correction of this condition can involve more surgery and usually results in further scarring and depended encapsulation.

Healing Body Wellness has developed evidence-based practice techniques that diminishes breast and reconstructive encapsulation. Using FDA approved medical technology, Healing Body wellness helps women achieve positive results, promoting a positive healing experience and result.

Hiking Injuries in our Desert

“Sprains are one of the top ten reasons people visit the ER.” – HARVARD MEDICAL JOURNAL

SYMPTOMS AND SEVERITY:

Ankle sprains are usually due to “rolling” an ankle to the outside or inversion of the ankle. Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that hold the body’s joint together. When these bands are stretched to capacity they become sprained and can even rupture or tear. This injury is classified into three degrees of severity or sprains. Treatment depends on severity; proper treatment is key, if full recovery is desired. The amount of swelling and bruising will indicate severity.

FIRST AND SECOND-DEGREE SPRAINS:

Symptoms: swelling, some bruising but able to bear partial weight and ankle functions

Treatment: Rest, stay off ankle for a couple of days. Ice, to alleviate swelling and aid with pain management. Compression wrap the ankle with stretch bandage (ace bandage) to minimize swelling and offer support to the injured area. Elevation keep the ankle elevated to assist in alleviating further swelling.

Healing Body Wellness offers drug-free pain relief treatment for acute first and second-degree sprains using Electromagnetic therapy. This therapy increases blood flow and transfer of nutrients and waste at the cellular level, which decreases swelling that can inhibit range of motion and proper healing and rehabilitation.

THIRD-DEGREE SPRAINS:

Symptoms: profuse swelling and bruising, unable to bear weight, joint dysfunction.

Treatment: seek immediate medical attention. Your Physician will order testing such as an x-ray or MRI to assess damage.

Seek immediate medical attention if:

1. You are unable to bear weight on the injured leg, the joint feels unstable or numb, you cannot use the joint.

2. You developed streaks that spread out from that area

3. You have pain directly over bones of the injured joint.

4. You have re-injured an area that has been previously injured.

5. You experience profuse swelling and bruising

6. After two days your symptoms do not improve

Combating Foot Pain and Inflammation

At the end of the day, do you suffer from foot pain?

Do you have Diabetic foot pain? Do you work on your feet and experience swelling in your extremities?

These conditions have a common cause, inflammation. Poor blood flow or reduced circulation can cause swelling in legs, ankles and feet, which can lead to foot pain. It also can result in nerve damage. If circulation slows, especially in our extremities, this in turn, slows the rate at which the cells exchange nutrients and waste. Glucose levels in cells, specifically nerve cells are also affected by this process. Glucose can increase in nerve cells quicker than any other cell because they don’t need insulin to process it. When levels become high, nerve cells are damaged with limited function and signals from the affected area to the brain, losing communication and oftentimes neuropathy occurs. 50 % of the people diagnosed with Diabetes will suffer from Neuropathy.

Electromagnetic Circulation Therapy from Healing Body Wellness can help boost circulation and aid the body’s cells with the nutrient exchange process. Once enhanced, this process decreases the swelling, relieving pressure off the nerves in your feet, relieving foot pain. For Diabetics, along with proper diet, exercise and maintaining good glucose levels ECT goes one step further by boosting hydration and proper functions of nerve cells, assisting in the prevention of Neuropathy.

Sciatica

4 out of 10 people will experience Sciatic, or pain from the compression of the Sciatic Nerve.

The Sciatic Nerve originates in the lower spine and hips and links the spinal cord with the hips legs and feet, supplying strength, sensation and reflexes to the lower extremities. When the Sciatic nerve become compressed, it generates pain. Compression of the nerve can happen from any angle, front or back of the body, however pain from the compression is usually felt in the back. Muscle imbalance is usually the cause of the compression, but stress, trauma, dehydration, overuse and even pregnancy can cause Sciatic pain.

When should you see a Doctor?

You should see a Medical Doctor if you are experiencing any of the following signs: - Weakness, or numbness in the legs or feet - Lose bladder/bowel control - Pain is SEVERE. Each Sciatica case can have a different reason why the compression occurs, reviewing your activity and movement history reflecting back a day or two will aid in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation to ensure a comprehensive recovery and healthy future.

Healing Body Wellness offers drug-free pain relief from Sciatic pain. Electromagnetic Circulation Therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment that increases blood flow to the injured area, which decreases swelling that can compress the Sciatic nerve.
