General Practitioners

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Primary Care
  Active Life’s policy regarding the process of prescribing scheduled medications (narcotics) involves appropriate due diligence. Certain requirements must be met during the initial consultation that will verify if you are an appropriate patient for these medications. There are certain risks that will be explained to you. Many medications just mask real pain and can actually create more pain if discontinued. Therein lies a vicious cycle. If the patient is deemed to be appropriate through testing and evaluation, then a written note from the patient’s primary care physician may need to be requested if not specified on referral form. In addition, an opioid agreement will need to be signed, a urine drug screen will be performed and a thorough medication evaluation and monitoring program will be initiated. Active Life WILL NOT prescribe a narcotic regimen until the appropriate investigation is complete. Please see our Active Life Policy by clicking here.

• Sciatica
  This condition is an irritation or compression of one or more nerve roots in the lumbar spine. Because these nerves travel to the hips, buttocks, legs and feet, an injury in the lumbar spine can cause symptoms in these areas. Sciatica may result from a variety of problems with the bones and tissues of the lumbar spinal column.
• Pinched Nerve
  If you have unexplained pain, numbness, weakness or tingling, you may have a pinched nerve. That’s when something presses against a nerve in your body. It stops the nerve from acting the way it’s supposed to.
• Joint Replacement
  PRP Treatment presents patients with a long lasting, permanent solution that will not wear off over time as with a traditional injection. For this reason, PRP could help patients avoid joint replacement surgery and potentially back surgery. Like any treatment option, The effectiveness would depend on the severity of the condition or injury. Many traditional treatment options are more focused on relieving the pain rather than fixing the problem, as we like to call these treatments “Band-aid Treatments”.
