A speaker (affiliated with Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) describes a holistic approach to patient care—'holistic orthopedics'—that combines wellness (weight loss, hormone balancing) with orthopedic/orthobiologic treatments (PRP, bone marrow aspirate, stem-cell injections) to improve joint pain and overall well-being.
This is a much more native and natural approach to the entire person, not just that one thing. It's really nice to be able to bring those options to our patients, both from a wellness side, but also from an orthopedic side where we have the orthobiologic treatments like prp, the bone marrow aspirate, stem cell injections, we have the wellness options or balancing hormones. We're getting patients healthier, we're helping them lose weight, all of those things working together to really help address patients joint pain, but also their overall well being. I, like Dr. Schachter, refers to it as holistic orthopedics, because that's really what it is. We all have times in our life that we don't feel very good. And so this is a much more native and natural approach to the entire person, not just that one thing.
