Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains holistic orthopedics, which combines joint treatments, orthobiologics, and whole-body wellness to reduce musculoskeletal pain. He discusses bioidentical hormone replacement as an aid to healing and orthobiologics as non-operative treatments that speed return to sport.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapies can really augment patient healing and patient wellness.
So what's holistic orthopedics? It's a new and innovative approach to orthopedic care and our goal is to improve our patients pain using focused joint treatments, using orthobiologic treatments and whole body wellness. And I'm going to talk just a little bit about some of the things that I think that can be incorporated into musculoskeletal practices pretty quickly and easily. Functional medicine is a very broad approach. It's a very complicated approach which uses laboratory values. And we're really digging into the patient's health. Some of the more applicable things that we can do quickly. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapies can really augment patient healing and patient wellness and I think are going to be the wave of the future in treatment of musculoskeletal pain. And then orthobiologics, of course, I think are critical when we look at how to treat these issues without an operation, get patients and athletes back to sport faster.
