What are plant based Bio-Identical Hormones

By “bio-identical” we mean that the biochemical structure of the hormone is perfectly matched to the hormone produced in a woman’s body by her endocrine system. Bio-Identicals used in hormone replacement therapy are neither a horse’s hormone nor an artificially formulated (synthetic) that is intentionally manufactured to be slightly different from human hormone in order to patent it. Bio-Identical hormones are plant-based, natural substances that our bodies can metabolize in the way it was designed to do, minimizing side effects. These compounded bio-identicals can be matched to each woman’s unique needs, something that’s impossible with mass-manufactured products. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy using the pellet method has changed the manner women age. Natural hormone replacement therapy has helped improve not only the quality of our lives, but also how long we live them.

What is BioTE® Hormone Therapy

It is a well known fact that men and women experience declining hormone levels as they get older. These deficient hormone levels are associated with symptoms of fatigue, irritability, loss of memory, increased weight gain, insomnia, and decreased sex drive.  There are also significant diseases associated with hormonal deficiencies, including osteoporosis.  Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. David Duffner and Certified Nurse Practitioner Renee Mc gaughy bring you BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy. BioTE® Medical Hormone Pellet Therapy is the only method of hormone therapy that provides sustained hormone levels  throughout the day for up to four to six months without any “roller coaster” effect as seen with oral and transdermal forms of hormonal therapy. Because the pellets are completely natural, Pellet Therapy is ideal for patients wanting the benefits of a natural hormone, without the drawbacks of a synthetic.  How Hormone Therapy is introduced to the body is very important. Most of the common methods, such as pills, patches, creams, gels, and injections don’t contain natural, bio-identical hormones, and all provide inconsistent hormone levels.  They may actually lead to greater health risks. A more effective alternative is hormonal therapy using pellets that are easily placed under the skin, into the upper buttock.  Pellets are […]

Lower Back Pain and the Sacroiliac Joint

Lower Back Pain and the Sacroiliac Joint

Where is the sacroiliac joint? The sacroiliac joint connects the last segment of the spine, the sacrum, to the pelvis. The integrity of the sacroiliac joint depends on strong ligaments that encase and cover the joint.  These ligaments compress and stabilize the joint. How the sacroiliac joint causes lower back pain? The ligaments that encase the sacroiliac joint may be disrupted due to injury or degenerate due to age, allowing the joint to have excessive motion. This excessive motion may inflame and disrupt the joint and surrounding nerves. Your physician may also refer to sacroiliac joint pain by other terms like sacroiliitis, SI joint degeneration, SI joint inflammation, SI joint syndrome, SI joint disruption and SI joint strain. How do the symptoms of sacroiliac joint pain present? The most common symptom of sacroiliac joint disorders is pain in the lower back, buttock and legs. This can present as sciatica like symptoms (leg pain, burning, numbness, and tingling) that mimic lumbar disc or radicular low back pain, pain that radiates down into the legs. Causes of sacroiliac joint disorders Causes of sacroiliac joint disorders can be split into five categories: Traumatic (lifting, fall, accident) Biomechanical (leg length discrepancy, prior lumbar fusion) […]
