Percutaneous Hydrotomy
Discover a Revolutionary Approach to Beating Chronic Pain and Increasing Function.
Chronic pain and its associated conditions are some of the most common disruptors of enjoying life and can keep us from performing at our best. One possible answer to beating chronic pain and regaining more function is a little-known regenerative medicine procedure called “percutaneous hydrotomy.” Like other regenerative therapies that capitalize on the body’s innate ability to heal, percutaneous hydrotomy harnesses the body’s natural healing properties to improve function and reduce pain after injuries. The goal of percutaneous hydrotomy is to ultimately treat the root cause of the disease. By breaking the pain cycle and promoting natural healing, it addresses one of the biggest health issues—pain—and can help restore the body’s function using hidden regenerative medical techniques such as mesotherapy, oligotherapy, hypodermoclysis, and tumescent anesthesia.
What is Percutaneous Hydrotomy?
Percutaneous Hydrotomy is derived from a combination of disiplines of allopathic and alternative medicine practice that combine the following regenerative medicine techniques:
Mesotherapy
The administration of small quantities of drugs (vasodilators, anti inflammitory’s, chelation agents, amino-acids, vitamins) in a localized area.
Oligiotherapy
The action of using small doses of trace minerals (zinc, magnesium, copper, etc.) that are essential to various body functions at the cellular level.
Tumescent Anesthesia
The safe use of local anesthetics diluted in large quantitites of physiological saline.
Hypodermoclysis
The subcutaneous injection of fluids given safely in terms of hydration and for the slow dilute absorption of drugs.
Water
For it’s ability to diffuse and as a vehicle to deliver vitamins, minerals, and medications.
What types of conditions or injuries might benefit from percutaneous hydrotomy treatment?
The following are examples of conditions or injuries that percutaneous hydrotomy might help:
- Ankle arthritis, sprained or weak ankles, bunions, and other foot ailments
- Migraines, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, and TMJ
- Frozen shoulder, bursitis, tendinitis, and rotator cuff issues
- Back pain, knee pains, hip problems, and sciatica
- Osteoarthritis of the hands and feet
Is Percutaneous Hydrotomy a surgical procedure and is there any down time afterwards?
Percutaneous Hydrotomy is a safe non-surgical regenerative injection therapy that uses tiny mesotherapy-needles to employ all the techinuqes of percutanous hydrotomy to the skins superficial layer. Normally a Tumescent solution ( lidociane diluted in a physiologic saline) will be injected into the treatment area to accomplish local anesthia, and there is no need for general anesthia. Patients can normally return to normal activities within a few hours of treatment with minimal down time after a percutaneous hydrotomy procedure.
Are there any potential side effects associated with Percutaneous Hydrotomy procedures?
The side effects of percutaneous hydrotomy are rare and it has an excellent saftey history. All of percutaneous hydrotomy regenerative techniques involve the delivery of a solution using a needle, so aseptic technique is essential during treatment. Percutanous Hydrotomy protocols are designed to decrease the patients chance of having a painful experience.
Common Side Effects Can Include:
- Bruising
- Edema
- Skin Necrosis
- Bacterial Infections
- Allergic Reactions
- Skin Atrophy
- Granulomas
- Vagal Syndromes
- Pressure Over the Injection Area
(this is usally mild and temporary). - Injection Pain
(this is reduced by using istonic solutions)
What should someone expect after receiving a Percutaneous Hydrotomy treatment?
With chronic pain, it is common to observe an aggrevation of the symptoms after the first percutaneous hydrotomy treament. It often appears paradoxical, meaning you can see a “rebound effect” this is a positive sign and means the body is responding to treatment.The rebound effect will be less apparent with subsequent treatments and with each subsequent treatment be better tolerated. Healing is an inside job that takes time, chronic diseases are never resolved with a quick fix-they take years to develope, and it can take years to heal. Using percutaneous hydrotomy to balance the body’s biological terrain is a good first step since diseases develop as a result of a depleted biological terrain. Percutaneous hydrotomy should not be presented as a panacea to treat all chronic pain but rather a synergistic tool to be used with other therapuetic strategies to manage chronic conditions and improve overall functionality.
How can I learn more about Percutaneous Hydrotomy or schedule a consultation?
To learn more about Percutaneous Hydrotomy you can purchase Dr. Edwards book, Stopping Pain:Percutaneous Hydrotomy, A revolutionary approach to Beating Chronic Pian and Increasing Function.
Additionally, if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Edwards please reach out to Elevate Medical Group to schedule a consultation.
Meet Elevate Medical Group’s medical director, Dr. Johnathan Edwards, who has over 20 years of surgical anesthesia experience and is the author of “Stopping Pain: Percutaneous Hydrotomy, A Revolutionary Approach to Beating Chronic Pain and Increasing Function.” Dr. Edwards was the first American physician to complete his formation in percutaneous hydrotomy with Dr. Guez of France and bring the technique to the United States. Dr. Edwards has trained many practitioners in the art and science of percutaneous hydrotomy and has performed the procedure on hundreds of patients, including elite athletes in various disciplines.
