In this short video, Dr. Robert Whitfield explains his perioperative protocol that emphasizes self-administered nerve blocks, close coordination with anesthesia, and an opioid-sparing recovery plan. He describes how his patients typically avoid fentanyl and Dilaudid, needing only a mild pain pill and a caregiver ride home. Dr. Whitfield also advises patients to stay awake after surgery to reset their circadian rhythm, ensuring they can walk into his office unaided for a post‑operative “Human Regenerator” treatment. He introduces the Human Regenerator, an ion‑shower device that reduces sympathetic activation and promotes a parasympathetic, feel‑good state, highlighting his early adoption of the technology.

I do my own nerve block on the tissues when I visualize them. So we've done all that work pre-op. We've got our anesthesia team working hard and they're great. And then I add a block. So in recovery, my patients don't need fentanyl, they don't need Dilaudid. They need a pain pill, if anything, and a ride home. And that's why the caregiver can pick them up, take them. Now the night of surgery or the day of surgery, I try to tell everybody, You gotta get your circadian rhythm going correctly. So don't go home and sleep, stay awake. Try to get a good night's sleep 'cause you're gonna come to my office under your own power, not in a wheelchair, not on crutches. You're gonna walk in and you're gonna do a Human Regenerator treatment. When I bought my Human Regenerator a few years ago, I was the third clinic in the United States. So the Human Regenerator is like an ion shower that helps really lower sympathetic activation and get you into more parasympathetic state. It's like the feel-good machine, right?
