“WHEN WE ARE CONSISTENT, THOSE RESULTS ACCUMULATE,”

said Dr. Hines. For one 88-year-old woman, cryotherapy is her scheduled dance time. Often used by athletes to assist with recovery time, full body cryotherapy is a treatment that lowers the body’s temperature. The extreme temperature drop forces blood to the core where the body’s given filtration system can cleanse the blood. Once out of the chamber, the healthier blood can begin to recirculate and replenish all the joints and muscles Patients have reported reduced pain and inflammation levels as well as higher energy levels within 48 hours of treatment. The elderly woman dances, perhaps because it is cold in the chamber but perhaps it's because she knows she will feel relief soon

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, PEMF, is truly unique in that it regenerates cells that can be considered sick in a way. Patients will lie on a mat that sends electromagnetic pulses through the body, yet it will not feel like a shock. This treatment has shown to improve blood flow, speed healing of wounds and it has some anti-aging effects for cells in their life cycle

This effect is caused by a recharging of sickly or dying cells A new practice, Cryo+ combines the three forms of therapy to truly provide the body with the tools needed to thrive. After a patient completes their cryotherapy treatment, they then move to the infrared room After the blood is replenished of oxygen and nutrients in the core, infrared therapy assists in the flow of this replenished blood. PEMF therapy is introduced to optimize the health of cells throughout the body. This practice can provide similar benefits as the individual therapies such as improved blood flow, reduced inflammation and cell recovery.

Other practices at Acadiana Pain reflect the experiences Dr. Hines has gained in his travels. These practices include dry-needling and Kaatsu technology, a compression band.

Innovation is to think outside of the box which is just what Acadiana Pain has done. Non-invasive therapies aid in numbing pain for patients without the need for surgeries. The goal is to give the patient everything needed for them to be successful. Dr. Hines believes surgery should be a last resort when treating patients ,

Truly looking at outside perspectives to best aid his patients, Dr. Hines found himself at a dentistry conference due to curiosities about a new technology designed to aid in respiratory issues

Having many connections in different medical fields, Dr. Hines is able to bounce around ideas with many differing minds The doctor himself speaks at conferences, roughly four times a year, to promote the benefits of treating a patient rather than a symptom.

In striving to promote the mindset to others, Dr Hines has gained an honorable reputation from those in his field. Oftentimes at these conferences, fellow doctors will ask Dr. Hines why he isn’t practicing in a bigger city to which he replies – he enjoys Lafayette.

Dr Hines believes Lafayette deserves good health, and his patients show their gratitude to him daily. Dr. Hines’s patients often participate in studies, either by completing surveys during their visits or by collecting data from their case. He has found that most of his patients are happy to help in his studies as it can aid many others around the country, if results are effective.

Dr. Hines further promotes knowledge he has gained with the creation of The Pain and Performance Podcast His podcast has over 50 episodes, most being around an hour long. It was made not only to educate, but to reestablish trust with patients by explaining researchbased studies Rather than taking advice from selfclaimed health gurus on social media platforms, people can now listen to trusted resources. Acadiana Pain supplies truly innovative practices to their patients so that they can further spread valuable knowledge to not just other doctors, but to their patients.

Acadiana’s leader for Orthopaedic, Spine and Sports Medicine is a label proudly earned and very deserving of Louisiana Orthopaedic Specialists, LOS When I was given the opportunity to tour their main facility located in Lafayette, La off the renowned medical row of Rue Louis, I jumped at the chance to get to know this incredible team.

This wonderful adventure to and see the specialists in motion was a unique way to get to know the true team of LOS.

As I begin the tour of what seems to be a masterfully designed labyrinth lightly dotted with conference rooms and break rooms, I am told each doctor has their own “pod” that acts as its own clinic within the clinic This allows them access to their team outside of exam rooms and X-ray labs where they have fast access to everything needed to address their patients' concerns. Each specialist is staffed with multiple medical assistants as well as nurse practitioners

The key factor with LOS

The key factor with LOS is each doctor on board is each doctor on board is a certified specialist in is a certified specialist in their field. This allows their field This allows patients the opportunity patients the opportunity to be seen by a master in to be seen by a master in their element within a their element within a smooth time of request. smooth time of request. They pride themselves on They pride themselves on being able to be available being able to be available to all without needing a to all without needing a rreferral. eferral.

Our first stop Our first stop is with the is with the rrenowned enowned Adam Perry, Adam Perry, MD founder MD founder of LOS Dr of LOS. Dr. Perry said he, Perry said he, “started off “started off doin’ a lot of doin’ a lot of eeverything,” verything,” but explained that as LOS grows, doctors of varying specialties have joined, allowing Dr. Perry and others to focus on just their specialty. and he has proven just that After opening in 2008 with just three specialists, the orthopaedic facility has grown to 15, soon to be 16 specialists, and enough supporting staff to maintain a smooth workday. The main facility has multiple X-ray machines and an MRI machine to help quickly get results to doctors Surgical procedures on the other hand do take place in separate facilities. LOS primarily provides procedures out of Our Lady of Lourdes, Park Place, Iberia Medical Center, Abbeville General and Iberia Surgical Center and Lafayette Surgical Specialty Hospital

Dr Perry expressed that he is a “leg guy” as he mostly works in the hip and knee fields.

The specialists at LOS ensure the highest level of care for their patients, whether it's through continued education, furthering research or presenting at meetings with other orthopaedic doctors To offer a strong variety of specialists is such a true gift they are giving to our ccommunity.

Dr. Perry expressed. Many of the specialists at LOS have some of the same patients, each helping with a different body joint or other specialty. Because of their expertise, specialists are able to inform their patients of multiple options of treatment before proceeding.

Walking through LOS, medical jargon bounces from wall to wall, igniting the halls in sound. Michael Duval, MD is next on the agenda. He just so happens to be the head sports medicine doctor for the Ragin Cajuns. He shares with me, “There has been a huge sub specialization within orthopedics that has been present in major metropolitan areas for years ”As our community grows, the need for these specialties increases Through the tour, I found that most of the doctors at LOS go through fellowship training, an additional year of learning, when they finish their required level to reach the status of specialist.
