Dr. Zang delves into the interplay between surgical interventions and the dynamic field of regenerative medicine, touching upon treatments like PRP, prolotherapy, and amniotic fluid products. A significant part of the discussion is dedicated to the importance of the capillary bed in managing conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and various tendinopathies. Dr. Zang's approach prioritizes the restoration of the microvascular structure, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of therapies like low-level laser therapy, which are carefully woven into patient treatment protocols.
Key Takeaways: A shift from reactive to proactive healthcare is crucial, with a focus on regenerative treatments that restore function rather than just managing symptoms. The health of the microvascular structure is vital for effectively treating conditions like peripheral neuropathy and tendinopathies. Modern regenerative treatments, such as the new microvascular allograft, offer one-time injections that can significantly improve patient outcomes when paired with low-level laser therapy. Cold lasers are preferred over class four lasers because they provide a physiologic response without the damaging heat associated with higher-class lasers. The future of healthcare is leaning towards non-surgical, regenerative approaches that are less invasive and have fewer side effects. Notable Quotes: "Instead of removing and replacing, you know, it's regenerating and restoring." "I actually think I'm helping patients more now without doing surgery than when I was doing surgery." "The whole issue is the capillary bed. That's it." "For all the years we did in treating like neuropathy, which is a big example for that, for all the years we would use our modalities and we would feel the pulses. If they were great. Oh, that's wonderful." "I think the future is so much greater but really, that's true." Resources: No specific resources or references were mentioned explicitly within the transcript.
