There is a lot of discussion about why StemWave is referred to as the “stem cell machine”. StemWave and SoftWave are amazing technological advancements that been allowed for use by the FDA for pain and inflammation reduction and more. However, do the electrohydraulic shockwaves produced by StemWave and SoftWave influence stem cell function to aid in regenerating tissue? It’s not enough to simply say it does. As doctors, we owe it to our patients to understand and educate how to best understand how this technology works. Continue Reading →

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave ESWT (Part 2 of 2)
Cliff Notes for Both ESWT Blogs before we go forward:
1. StemWave and SoftWave offer electrohydraulic ESWT that is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of conditions
2. The science behind Electrohydraulic Shockwave Therapy is fascinating and has significant advantages over other forms of acoustic and pressure wave therapies
3. StemWave and SoftWave regenerate tissues like nothing ever demonstrated before
4. StemWave and SoftWave are unique and worth a try before more invasive intervention (ex. surgery)
**Please note that you do NOT need to be an active patient to benefit from StemWave and Softwave. You can simply make an appointment. This also applies to Hbot and NormaTec.
As we learned from Part 1, electrohydraulic shockwave therapy is an amazing technology. Although no one treatment intervention can fix every problem, StemWave and SoftWave most certainly addresses conditions that no other intervention can help. The excitement over shockwave therapy is palpable. It’s real. The research pool continues to grow and more and more treatment applications are being discovered as time goes on.
Integrative medical doctors and manual medicine doctors should move into ways to help patients regenerate muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. It’s THAT important. It’s also important to be aware of what the international shockwave community is saying about extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Is this all a farce or is it legitimate? Continue Reading →

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave (Part 1 of 2)
This is a two part blog and in the first part, we’ll discuss how true shockwave therapy works. The second blog will discuss what we use it for and why true shockwave therapy is known to recruit stem cells to facilitate healing. The first blog will be more technical than the second.
Please note that you do NOT need to be a patient to benefit from the StemWave or SoftWave. You can simply make an appointment for shockwave therapy. This also applies to Hbot and NormaTec.
In our previous two blogs, we discussed how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Hbot) and NormaTec help with recovery and healing. The evidence that Hbot can elongate telomeres, leading to greater cell function and a true anti-aging effect, is nothing less than amazing. These above two referenced interventions constitute the first two prongs regarding how we go about tissue regeneration. Now it’s time to introduce the third prong of this approach.
Before we proceed, we don’t want to anyone to misunderstand. Healing and recovery are a very important focus for us at Columbia Advanced Chiropractic, LLC. Dr. Manison has spent over 2 decades learning and applying the best techniques in the field of manual medicine and rehabilitation. He does so in order to best help his patients obtain the greatest likelihood of recovery from a plethora of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. However, aiding with recovery and healing are different from actual tissue regeneration, and this is the future of medicine. Continue Reading →

Skiboards Are The Way To Go!
***Blog updated 2024
I’ve been an avid skier my whole life. I may not be a double black diamond skier or even all the time a solid black diamond one, but I’d comfortably call myself an advanced intermediate skier. To me, nothing is more peaceful than being on top of a mountain, with the snow falling down, and only hearing the sound of the carving of the skis.
From childhood, my dad and I would take father and son ski trips and they provided some of the best memories of my life. From Switzerland, to Mount Tremblant, to Vail, Park City, Tahoe, and more…I was exposed to skiing at an early age and I am very am very fortunate for this.
Being a sports chiropractor, my life revolves around treating injuries, rehabilitating such injuries, and helping to prevent future injuries. Skiing is a sport, that although insanely fun, comes with its set of injury risks. I’ve treated many various skiing (and fairly stated, snowboarding) injuries in my day. This begs the question: how do we mitigate the risks of skiing while still having loads of fun?
Several years ago, a patient started talking with me about skiing. He mentioned that he no longer used skis but was using something called ‘Skiboards.’ He talked about how much fun they were and how much safer he felt using them vs. skis. This conversation piqued my curiosity. After all, I loved skiing and I also wanted to minimize risk as much as possible. Continue Reading →
