Sports Medicine
What your DNA can tell about your Athletic Performance potential and risk of Sports Injuries. A number of genes play a role in athletic performance. Scientific evidence suggests that muscle growth, cardiac output and other factors influence physical performance and are associated with which version of certain genes you carry. Other genes help identify weaknesses in certain areas such as bone strength and neurological predispositions that can lead to sports related injuries and long term disabilities. Find out if your DNA predisposes you to perform better at endurance or strength athletics. This will allow you to optimize your training for peak performance. You may also be predisposed to neurological damage or injury to your skeletal system by performing certain activities. Genetically some athletes seem to be built for speed and some for endurance. The U.S. Military has been selecting candidates for their elite troops such as the Army Rangers and Navy Seals using these types of tests. These methods are aimed at saving time and money when it comes to athletic training. They promote implementing optimal personalized training, while reducing the risk of permanent physical injury. This DNA test can not only help determine if you have the potential for Olympic size success but also tell you if you are more susceptible to sports related injury. Our personnel and visiting physicians complement a large array of treatments such us; Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis), Achilles Tendonitis, Shoulder Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Impingement Syndrome, Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Patellar (Kneecap) Tendonitis, Tendon Injuries and Disorders of the Knee, Wrist Tendonitis, Tendonitis (and Overuse Injuries) in Children, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with stem cell transplants capable of improving the effect of our treatments.
The effect of transplanted adult stem cells in the human body is to generate new tissue in organs such as the heart, liver, lung and pancreas. The stem cells can also repair damaged nerves, muscles, joints, spine and bones. Hence we are on the verge of creating new methods to treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hepatitis C, Lymes and other biological infections, lung cancer, burns, arthritis, spinal cord injuries and torn cartilage and ruptured tendons in the knees, ankles and other joints. The implications for sports medicine are phenomenal. It is now possible to envision the day when there can be a complete recovery from a traumatic knee injury in 90 days as opposed to an entire year or more. The wear and tear on bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle can be repaired during the athletic season to prolong careers. The biological age of the athlete can be reversed.
