A life that optimizes movement in big ways and small is an optimal life. According to the CDC movement promotes health and longevity by creating a better mood and better brain function. Movement puts more money in your wallet by preventing the financial cost of chronic diseases, lowers the risk of health disease and stroke, lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes and its complications and lowers risk of some cancers. It builds stronger bones and muscles. Movement results in employees taking fewer sick days and students getting better grades and having fewer disciplinary problems.
How do we optimize our bodies so that we can move efficiently and pain free?
One of the best ways to keep our spine and joints healthy and active is by using them. Regular stretching, strengthening and exercise keeps joints and the spine primed for activities. Sometimes, people may develop spine and joint problems despite preventive measures. Recent breakthroughs in medicine have revolutionized treatment of spine and joint disorders and improved their overall health and function. In the past, the only options were managing the problem with steroid injections or surgery. In recent years, medical research has shown that we can use our own body’s healing cells to treat spine and joint disorders. These healing cells are known as autologous biologics. Most common among them are platelets and bone marrow. Platelet rich plasma can be extracted from your own blood and it contains more than 20 growth factors that help increase the blood supply, repair and heal any injured tissue.
Bone marrow contains many progenitor cells and stem cells, which play a vital role in healing your spine and joint disorders, reducing pain and regaining your function.
With considerably less down time than traditional methods such as surgery, patients are on their way to better health outcomes faster. The focus of Dr Navneet Boddu’s Regenerative Medicine practice is to get patients back to health so that they can exercise, and enjoy physical hobbies with minimal pain and discomfort. Dr Boddu’s motivating principle is captured in the saying “Life is Movement, Movement is Life.” The philosophy is that an active, pain-free life enables patients to engage in beneficial activities that, in turn, keeps the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems thriving. The proper functioning of those systems will subsequently result in improved overall physical and mental well-being.
