Sports Medicine Doctors in South Jersey
We Provide Top Notch Pain Management Services to People of All Ages
The musculoskeletal system includes several key areas that are prone to injuries. As we become older, those areas start to become more vulnerable to injury. When an injury occurs, if you don't receive the proper care from sports medicine doctors, then you may put yourself at risk of injuring yourself again. At Shin Center, we work closely with the musculoskeletal system and alternative medicine treatments like osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) and platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP) to help pain management and recover injuries. Here's everything you need to know about our alternative medicine services in South Jersey.
Why You Should Turn to Natural Healing for Pain Management in South Jersey
Injuries happen to everyone no matter what their age is. Our sports medicine doctors are ready to help both athletes and non-athletes deal with their injuries and pain management. They have a keen & unique osteopathic understanding of the musculoskeletal system and the interconnected nature of the human body.
Natural healing is a great way to heal painful injuries because it involves the stimulation of the body's natural healing abilities. Instead of using conventional medicine to mask the pain, you can unlock the power behind your own body's ability to heal.
In a world where opiates are easily abused and uncaring doctors only fix symptoms and not causes, can completely rely on our integrative sports medicine (ISM) doctors at the Shin Center in South Jersey. We offer treatments like osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) and regenerative medicine that don't require the use of opiates or pharmaceutical medications. Our methods treat the underlying cause of the problem which, in turn, resolves your symptoms.

PRP injections are a regenerative therapy that uses the healing power of your own blood to heal injured tissues. It's commonly used in cases of Arthritis and can help manage your pain from other injuries as well.
For athletes, especially, it's vital that they receive non steroid injections when seeking treatment. Repeated steroid injections actually stop the body’s natural ability to heal, by stopping inflammation in its tracks. By stopping inflammation, the body has a lower capacity to heal correctly. This steroid injection may mask the pain; however, it does not address the actual injured tissue. Repeated steroid injections have also been shown in studies to degenerate your connective tissue, which is the opposite effect that you want for an active person.
Our sports medicine uses mild inflammatory irritants that are injected into injured areas. This type of injection is known as Prolotherapy, or, proliferative therapy. As a result, the body's immune system is kicked into overdrive because of the inflammatory stimulus, and the area subsequently undergoes a healing process after the treatment. The time it takes to heal the treated areas depends on how healthy the patient is. Their health is determined by their hydration, diet, sleep, genetics, among many other factors. The inflammation stimulus is received during the treatment and the body heals naturally over time.
Perhaps one of the most popular treatments in integrative medicine is acupuncture. Few doctors and members of the general public understand how acupuncture works. That's why it's important to rely on our doctors at the Shin Center to receive the most effective care. Our doctors have been specially trained in acupuncture and have many years of clinical experience. We truly understand it’s benefits in healing the human body naturally.
Acupuncture can be used to help alleviate inflammation and other pain-causing problems in various parts of the body. The body is made up of countless nerves within the fascial network. When those nerves are stimulated correctly, acupuncture can promote healing and a sense of wellness in various areas of the body. Our doctors can effectively administer acupuncture to give you incredible results. It is one of the best natural forms of nervous-system medicine.
Using sports medicine that includes alternative medicine helps the body recover quickly and can even prevent injuries in the future. This is a key component for athletes to stay healthy and perform their best. It's common for them to re-injure the same area because the conventional sports medicine treatment they used prior, such as a steroid injection, didn’t actually heal their injury.
Our integrative medicine in Philadelphia treatments strive to heal injuries, so athletes and non-athletes can enjoy the full use of their body without pain.
