Scientific Research

Integrative and regenerative medicine research guides our evidence-based medical care.

We are medical first. We are a holistic clinical practice with a wide range of degrees in healthcare. We are all continuing to advance our education and push the limits of our knowledge to serve our patients with the most advanced preventive and non-invasive medical care available.
Evidence-based practice is the foundation of our work.

Here’s how we look at it. Our goal is to stop the progression of the arthritis and then shrink it, reduce it or even reverse it. For example, research indicates that a molecule in our bodies called alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is involved in stopping arthritis from progressing. Let’s learn from this research and then let the body’s healing capabilities do the work of rebuilding the cartilage and surrounding tissues.

We aim to support our patients on the most efficient path to healing.
