GOT KNEE
PAIN?
ONE Have you30-MINUTE ever wonderedTREATMENT how different yourCOULD life would be ifEND you could significantly YOUR KNEE reduce PAINyour knee pain?
Where would you go, what would you do? What if this therapy took ONLY ONE 30-MINUTE TREATMENT? We’re pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get one of the most advanced treatments available today. If you suffer from debilitating knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting New HealthCare and Med Spa, a modern, holistic medical facility. HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?
Advanced live motion sonography allows us to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. We prepare and introduce tiny transplant tissues (micro Human Cell & Tissue Transplant (mHCTT)) into your knee (or other affected joint) and then allow your body’s own healing process to go to work. These transplanted cells and tissues include building blocks used by your body in nearly every type of tissue! Most patients describe the treatment as getting a shot at the doctor’s office and report little pain or discomfort.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
In our office, regenerative therapy treatment includes mHCTT joint injections which transplant donated human tissues with growth factors, cytokines and mesenchymal cells into areas of tissue or joint damage. With all of our regenerative therapies our #1 goal is to help support your body’s ability to repair and strengthen the tissues and supporting structures, whether it is cartilage, ligament or muscle tissue. Regenerative therapy targeting joints is used to help support acute and chronic injuries, knee meniscal tears, loss of knee joint cartilage, as well as degenerative arthritis.
WHEN WILL I FEEL RESULTS?
Results will vary among patients, but many report experiencing pain relief in as little as one week and some even begin enjoying normal everyday activity within a few days following the regenerative treatment. You have probably recently seen many professional athletes in the news using regenerative treatment to assist in the healing of their bodies following a sports injury (including Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning). Since the body naturally continues to adapt and heal for several months afterwards, further recovery of function in the joint and the supporting tissues can occur.
IS IT AFFORDABLE?
WHY DOES THE BODY LOSE THE ABILITY TO HEAL?
Over time, due to age, injury and disease our bodies lose their natural healing abilities as well as functionality. Remember when you were a kid and you skinned your shin riding a bike? Do you remember how quickly it healed?
Now as adults if we skin our shin it takes a long time for the mark to go away. That is a result of diminished healing ability. Fortunately, each person is born with building blocks capable of repairing and replenishing tissue. Through research and new understanding of these vital building blocks, we aim to optimize your body’s ability to heal itself.
Regenerative medicine is defined as “aiding the body’s ability to heal itself.” When we administer a regenerative medicine product like our vital human cell and tissue products, we are putting back in or supplementing the things that naturally occurred in your body and aiding the body’s ability to heal itself.
Our products are derived from birth tissue after a happy, healthy birth and are minimally manipulated in manufacturing to preserve the most important cytokines, proteins, growth factors and scaffolding properties: the functional factors involved in the reconstruction, repair and protection of human tissue.
Yes. Our clinic has made regenerative medicine treatment affordable and within reach of most people. Imagine eliminating the need to wear a knee brace or the dependency on anti-inflammatories or opioids…or being able to get back into action and doing the activities you love to do.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR mHCTT TREATMENT?
Do you wake up with knee pain? Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? Have you been told you need a knee replacement? Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? Do you take medications for knee pain? Do you have difficulty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with no success? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are ready to apply to see if you are an eligible patient candidate for a mHCTT regenerative medicine treatment.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME?
In many cases, regenerative therapy with mHCTT is a solution for knee pain. Our medical staff will give you an honest and fair evaluation of your particular knee pain. Pain relief is just around the corner. Call now to schedule your free consultation and evaluation!

“RICH IN THINGS THAT MATTER MOST”
By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child” – Luke 2:4-5
In the material sense, Joseph and Mary were by no means wealthy. Mary was a simple fifteen or sixteenyear old Galilean girl. Joseph was a young carpenter. Later, when it came time to present their infant son in the Temple, they offered “two turtle doves” which was considered the offering of the poor (Luke 2:22-24).
YOUR GIFT OF... $50 Educational class for 2 people
Their journey to Bethlehem is a testimony of how we can have nothing yet everything (2 Corinthians 6:10). Let us look at three examples of how rich they really were.
YOUR GIFT OF... $200 Provides 780 meals for a Veteran
By faith, they were willing to obey the voice of an angel (Luke 1:38; Matthew 1:24). The journey itself would require great faith. It was an eighty-mile trip on a donkey during Mary’s latter days of pregnancy. And they had no time to plan ahead!

Where Volunteers Make It Happen.
1. THEY WERE RICH IN FAITH.
I like Hannah Whitehall Smith’s definition of faith. “Faith is simply believing God.” They were willing to believe God. So must we. 2. THEY WERE RICH IN HOPE.
I am assuming Joseph and Mary needed a lot of hope. They needed hope for their personal safety… hope they would arrive in Bethlehem before it came time for her to deliver … hope they were doing the right thing for the right reason. Hope is faith in action. Hope has been defined as “looking ahead with confidence and courage” (Lee Strobel). The Christmas story is a story of hope for all generations. Jesus is our world’s only hope. Thus, we join with Phillips Brooks in singing, “… the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” 3. THEY WERE RICH IN LOVE.
It is the greatest love story ever told! Their love was sincere, sacred, selfless and sacrificial. They were gracious, genuine & generous. Jesus was born in love, lived as the personification of love and died in love. If His legacy of love is to continue, we must continue to love others as Christ loves us.
In summary, we might consider how rich we really are!
Prayer – Dear Lord, we want to be rich in You. In Your strong name we pray. Amen.

Smokey is a dog that
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week!
LOVES people of all ages!
She is happy, sweet, silly and friendly. Smokey has a good amount of energy to play and go for walks, but she also likes to chill and would make a great couch buddy. Smokey does well with children. It is recommended that any children in her home are around 8 years old, but homes with younger children will be considered if the home is the right fit for Smokey. Although Smokey is great with people, she will need to be the only dog in her forever home. She tested OK with cats, but please keep in mind that she did want to play with them and would need to be slowly introduced to any cats in her forever home. Smokey is a slender dog, weighing just over 40 pounds. She is 5 years old. Smokey is a cool dog, if you think she would make a great addition to your family, please fill an adoption application at out wishbonepetrescue.org. Once the application has been approved an appointment will be set up for you to come in and meet Smokey at the Allegan County Animal Shelter.---Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance.
