Are you suffering with Joint Pain? – OHR #478

This ohr discusses joint pain
29 Mar

We get daily reports from people on how we are affecting their lives.

This just came in:

I would like to thank the staff and nurses, especially for taking such good care of all their patients.  My health has taken a 180 degree turn since coming to LifeWorks Wellness Center.  I’m almost halfway through my treatment plan and I’m feeling like a million bucks again.
How do you thank someone for giving you your life back?  The answer is you can’t!
The best I can do is share my journey with as many people as possible with the intent to inspire them to seek health care here!  My passage from a life of pain and despair has turned into one of inspiration and hope for a positive outcome.  The best is yet to come, I’m sure!  And my goal going forward is helping others in similar situations gain this opportunity.
Sincerely, MB

What is the value of helping a person from despair to getting their life back?  You guessed it: priceless.

At LifeWorks, that is what we do.

Are you in despair?  Call us now at 727 466 6789 and speak to Petal. We can help.

Have a great week.

Dr. David I Minkoff, MD

Six Myths and Six Truths About Joint Pain

For those who suffer with joint pain, you’ve probably heard a lot of crazy assumptions about yourself and your condition. After a while, it’s understandable to grow increasing...

Patient Testimonial

I saw Karima for prolozone injections for my SI joints on January 28th.  Previously, I’ve had 3 back surgeries and fusions from L-4 to L-5.  I didn’t want another surgery (nor the “pain management treatments” prior to surgery).  After one set of injections my SI joints were much improved and after the second set, no pain.  I was so pleased I got prolozone for my neck/upper shoulders too.  Pain is greatly decreased.  I wish I’d known about prolozone before my first back surgery!

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
