— All of our Mattresses are American Made and Most are Michigan Made! — Locally Owned & Operated by a Family Name that’s been tied to the Area for over 80 Years! – Ryan Garrison 6 Sunday, December 1, 2019 WEEKEND TIMES myfenton.com Live A Pain Free Life According to the National Health Service (NHS), along with many other respected scientific organizations, new research is now clearly demonstrating that steroid injections actually worsen or exacerbate arthritis and its symptoms. The discovery comes on the heels of a recent scientific study, which was published in the October 2019 issue of Radiology. The publication is a peer-reviewed monthly medical journal owned and published by the Radiological Society of North America. The study distinctly demonstrated evidence that patients getting steroid injections of the knee or hip saw their arthritis progress faster than people who did nothing. If you suffer from arthritis and currently receive steroid injection treatments, rather than ending up a victim, you should actively research and pursue several healthier and more natural options for combating osteoarthritis. You don’t have to suffer through the pain. At the Natural Wellness & Pain Relief Center (NWPRC) in Grand Blanc, Dr. Megan Strauchman uses a variety of techniques to improve knee and hip osteoarthritis, including ozone injections, stem cell therapy, PRP injection therapy, homeopathic injections and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Natural Wellness and Pain Relief Centers provide a wide variety of services. The team of experts at NWPRC hope to improve your health and well-being while also preventing reoccurrences and establishing a more solid foundation for a pain-free life.
