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!

“MORE ON KEEPING A DISTANCE”
By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed a distance…” Exodus 20:18
This message is about responding to the awesome allpowering presence of Almighty God. The context is the giving of The Ten Commandments. It happened on a mountain called Sinai which was located in the wilderness. God was preparing God’s people for what God had prepared for them. God knew they needed the structure of law. Speaking of restrictions, Moses made many of them so that the people would understand Moses was standing on holy ground. While Moses was on the mountain with God, the people were keeping their distance. In fact they saw thunder and lightning, heard the trumpet and saw smoke on the mountain (Exodus 20:18). It is no wonder they “trembled with fear.” How do we respond to the awesome presence of our Holy God? 1. BY LISTENING TO GOD (Verse 19). The people of that time believed that no one could speak to God and live. Thus, they pleaded with Moses to speak for God. To know God is to listen to God. Occasionally when Jesus told stories of God’s kingdom He added the words, “Those who have ears to hear let them hear!” It has been said God speaks, and the church is our hearing aid. 2. BY RESPECTING GOD (Verse 20). The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). To fear God is to respect God. One of the ways we show respect for God is with our language (Exodus 20:7). The word profane comes from two Latin words – pro meaning “in front of” and fane meaning “temple.” A profane word is one you would not use in church. Other ways of showing respect include humbling ourselves before God, sharing God’s love and reaching out to those in need. 3. BY FOCUSING ON GOD (Verse 23). It is a fact of life that we become like that which we worship. Thus, the purpose of true worship is to praise God. Church architecture, the way a sanctuary is decorated, fine music and powerful preaching are intended to help us to focus on God. When we can see God in worship, then we can know we are focusing on the one true God. 4. BY BUILDING AN ALTAR TO GOD (Verse 24). Idol worship was common in Moses’ day. Therefore, the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites … do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold…” (Verses 22-23). Modern day idols may include such things as money, fame, knowledge, pleasure and power. Jesus is our altar. Jesus was the Lamb of God who died for the sins of the world. He alone is our access to God the Father. Back in verse 21 we read, “The people of God remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was...” In other words, it is always best to distance ourselves from anything that distracts us from God.
Prayer: Dear Lord, sometimes it is good to stand back and behold Your glory. In Your strong name. Amen.

ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Dutch has systemic mast cell tumor cancer and is in need of a hospice home. Please spread the word so this wonderful senior dog can live out his remaining time on Earth in a loving, fun, safe home. Dutch has a good level of energy and would love to play for short stints or go on casual strolls. He is happy and friendly and enjoys affection and will let you know if he wants more loving and attention. Dutch likes to look you right in the eyes and give you a silly grin. It’s hard to tell if he’s trying to convince you to give him yummy snacks or a belly rub; but the combo of his sweet senior eyes and goofy grin will be sure to get you wrapped around his finger/paw. He would do well in a home with children 10 years old and up, but will need to be the only pet in the home so he can relax and receive all your love and attention. Dutch is 9 years old, heartworm negative, and weighs approximately 64 pounds. If you are interested in helping Dutch, please fill out an online adoption or foster application at WishbonePetRescue.org or contact the shelter at 800.475.0776. Please help find Dutch an awesome home to rest his head. The Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue. Sponsored by
