The modern world is full of conditions that require new therapy procedures to handle. Doctors have spent a lot of time trying to develop different therapy procedures that will help solve health issues that individuals are currently facing. Integrative Medica has developed different therapy procedures that are readily available in their clinic. They help solve several medical conditions that may put you at risk. To enhance a better understanding of therapy procedures, here is what you should know.
What is IV Therapy?
Vitamins are essential to the health and well-being of individuals. However, some people lack vitamins in their bloodstream. This calls for IV therapy. Generally, intravenous (IV) therapy is a method majorly used to distribute vital nutrients into an individual's bloodstream. These nutrients include not only proteins but also minerals and antioxidants. Nutrients are essential as they improve the nails, skin, hair, and eyes. Generally, we can say that this therapy improves the overall appearance of an individual.
What are the different IV therapies?
Here are the most commonly practiced IV therapies:
- Glutathione IV. This is a more powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress in individuals' bodies.
- Myers' Cocktail. This is a blend of several nutrients which help improve the conditions of the body.
- NAD IV. This type of therapy is responsible for supporting healthy aging and repairing damaged DNA.
Other most commonly practiced therapy includes the amino acid IV and IV vitamin C. All these are responsible for keeping the body health balanced and improving the appearance.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
It is another mainly used type of therapy that uses stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord tissues. The stem cells contain protein that gives the body ability to heal faster and generate new cells. This therapy increases the number of stem cells in an individual's body.
What conditions can be managed by stem cell therapy?
Stem therapy is mainly used to serve the following functions:
- Repairing of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage
- It slows the aging signs in body tissues
- It enhances the ability of the body to heal naturally
- It increases the ability of the immune system in fighting diseases
- It reduces chronic pain to delicate body parts such as knees, joints, and legs
Stem therapy is also mainly used in patients with arthritis to reduce pain and recover from surgery. It makes surgical wounds heal faster.
What is Platelet -Rich Plasma Therapy?
This is another commonly performed procedure that uses plasma. Generally, plasma contains growth factors rich in proteins from the blood. The growth factor, or rather proteins, is responsible for quick healing. PRP injections are made in the injured areas or where an individual experiences severe pain to accelerate faster healing.
What conditions are treated by this therapy?
Doctors will consider or advise an individual to undertake this type of therapy if they experience the following conditions:
- Pain from injuries or arthritis
- Tendon injuries
- Muscles sprains and strains
- Sport-related injuries
Other conditions include inflammation, fractures, and chronic pain.
In conclusion, these are just a few widely used therapies to solve minor problems. For more information on different types of therapies, please book an appointment and visit the nearest hospital.
