WOMEN'S HEALTH & WELLNESS
Women’s pelvic floor and sexual health
This area of health and wellbeing has been vastly underappreciated and
undertreated for woman. We are confident that our professional approach and
discernment will help us help you in this extremely important area of
health and wellbeing for woman. Tight and congested connective tissues
in this area can lead to many difficult disfunctions and symptoms for woman.
Our unique approach by combining expert and caring soft tissue work with
cutting edge Shockwave and Laser technology create a comfortable and effective
treatment for woman. We have been very pleased to see consistent improvements
in health and wellbeing for woman including:
Less pelvic pain
Better bowel and bladder
function
Enhanced sexual
function
Improved sense of
wellbeing
Better core strength with
improved hip and spine mobility
Improvements
in this area of health and wellbeing may just be the be most satisfying experience
we clinicians have for our women.
MEN'S HEALTH & WELLNESS
Men’s pelvic floor and sexual health
This is an immensely important yet underappreciated and
undertreated area of men’s health, likely due to misguided cultural norms and
personal embarrassment. We are confident that our approach of combining expert
soft tissue skills with the gold and standard Shockwave and Laser technology
for erectile dysfunction is an exceptional approach to care. Tight and
congested muscles and fascia of the hips and pelvis reduce circulation in both
the vascular and lymphatic systems leading to most of the symptoms’ men suffer.
By Improving the health of these tissues, we have consistently seen
the following benefits for men.
Significant Improvements in erectile dysfunction
Better core strength with improved hip and spine mobility
Improved sense of wellbeing
Maybe more than any area of care we do for men,
improvements here for men can be positively life transforming.
Poor Prostate Health
Who’s At Risk for Prostate Cancer?
All men are at risk of having prostate cancer. About
one man in nine will be diagnosed with it during their lifetime, but only one
in 39 will die of this disease. About 80% of men who reach age 80 have cancer
cells in their prostate. Besides being male there are other things that
contribute to the risk.
Enlarge Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
Other names for benign prostatic hyperplasia include
benign prostatic hypertrophy, an enlarged prostate, and BPH. Approximately 8
percent of men aged 31 to 40 have BPH. In men over age 80,
more than 80 percent have BPH.
Age
The thing that raises your odds of having prostate cancer the most is age.
If you’re white and have no family history, your odds go up sharply at age 50.
If you’re Black or you have a close relative with prostate cancer, they jump up at age 40. About two-thirds of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men ages 65 and older.
But the older you are, the less aggressive the disease is, especially after age 70.
Family History
Men whose relatives have had prostate cancer are at higher risk
for having prostate cancer themselves. Having a father or brother
with the disease more than doubles your odds of having prostate cancer.
Having a brother with prostate cancer appears to make it more likely than having an affected father does. Your chances go even higher when multiple family members
are affected. Men with prostate cancer in their family should start getting
screened at age 40. Studies have identified several inherited genes that appear
to raise the risk of prostate cancer. Experts estimate that the hereditary form
of prostate cancer accounts for just 5% to 10% of all cases.
Race
Prostate cancer happens about 60% more often in Black men
than in white American men. And when it is diagnosed, the cancer is more
likely to be advanced. But Japanese and African men living in their native
countries have low rates of prostate cancer. Numbers for these groups rise
sharply when the men immigrate to the U.S. Black men should begin prostate
cancer tests at age 50. Doctors don’t know why different races different levels
of prostate cancer have, but they think things in the environment
work togetherto make it more likely.
Diet
Research also suggests high dietary fat may be linked
to prostate cancer. Men in countries with a high-fat diet tend to eat fewer
fruits and vegetables. The disease is much more common in countries where meat
and dairy products make up a lot of the diet, compared to those where the basic
diet consists of rice, soybean products, and vegetables.
Obesity
Extra weight doesn’t seem to boost your risk of prostate cancer.
But it could make you less likely to get a lower-grade type
and more likely to get an aggressive form. Not all study results agree, but
some research shows that obese men may have a greater chance of having
more advanced prostate cancer and of dying from prostate cancer.
Sedentary Lifestyle
There haven’t been a lot of studies yet to figure out how closely linked
a lack of physical activity is to prostate cancer, but it has been shown
to play a role in other types, like colon and endometrial cancers. But since a lack of physical activity often goes with obesity and metabolic syndrome,
there may be a link between it and prostate cancer, too.
BRCA1 or BRCA2 Gene Changes
You might hear your doctor call these mutations.
You’re born with them, so they fall in the category of risk factors you can’t
control. They run in families, but they only affect a small number of people.
They raise the odds of breast and ovarian cancers in women
and prostate cancer in some men.
Lynch Syndrome
Lynch syndrome, or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC),
is also a gene change you get at birth. It can boost your odds
of getting several cancers, including prostate cancer.
Erectile Dysfunction
It affects about 30 million men in the United States.
Although erectile dysfunction (ED) is very common, it is not a normal part of aging.
The following is a list of things that can negatively affect your sexual performance:
Diabetes
Anxiety
High Blood Pressure
Endocrine Disorders
Low Testosterone
Penile Conditions
Heart Disease
Low Libido
Depression
Smoking
Obesity
Multiple Sclerosis
Surgery
Hypogonadism
Neurological Disorders
Pharmaceutical Drugs
Recreational Drug Use
Atherosclerosis
Kidney Disease
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Injury
Poor Prostate Health
Sedentary Lifestyle
Not Participating in Weightlifting/Strength Training
Poor Circulation
Most of the conditions on the above list can be treated with
medication and diet with some success. How LASPC can assist you is
with a combination of Shockwave therapy, Long Tract Nerve Release Protocol,
and very specific exercises to improve the overall health of your pelvis and
gentilia. This new treatment plan works very well with Hormone Replacement
Therapy and the common ED pills on the market today.
The protocol that we have developed here at LASPC requires five to six, 60-90 minutes visits to positively affect the health of the prostate and improve sexual performance.
The cost of therapy is determined by how extensively we use the EPAT machine,
the overall body size of the patient and the number of sessions required to complete
the therapy. Full disclosure, the treatment protocol is somewhat invasive,
and it will require the therapist to place their hands in various places
in the pelvic region, pelvic floor and around the gentilia.
