Peripheral Neuropathy is a nerve disorder known to affect the lives of millions of people throughout the United States. It is a complication found in several different medical conditions including Diabetes, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Cancer and Chemo-Radiation therapies and Metabolic disorders most often. While some cases improve when the underlying cause is managed effectively, sometimes the cause may not always be detectable. As this debilitating condition may progress over time, it is crucial to be proactive with proper treatment, avoiding and further negative impact on quality of life. When functioning normally, the peripheral nerves relay messages from the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. However, this key function is disrupted when circulation to peripheral blood vessels becomes impaired, particularly the smaller ones (capillaries), which supply nerve tissues. Without sufficient blood flow making it through capillaries, essential oxygen and nutrients cannot get into the tissues, while the waste products of metabolism cannot get out. The peripheral nervous system eventually becomes distressed and damaged due to starvation and toxicity.

“We personally invite you to schedule a comprehensive evaluation to discuss your condition, determine if you are a MicroVas candidate and to learn more about our Exclusive Neuropathy Program!” -The REHABILITY Team *Most major medical insurances accepted, including Medicare.

MicroVas is a FDA-cleared, non-invasive vascular treatment system that delivers electromagnetic energy to targeted areas of the body, stimulating increased circulation to the surrounding tissues. After years of research, this innovative technology was originally engineered to treat NAVY SEAL divers for hypothermia, with the ability to produce a powerful blast of oxygen-rich blood flow into the extremities. MicroVas’ strong, deeply penetrating waveform causes blood to pump and circulate much more efficiently by elevating tissue-oxygen levels. This process may also accelerate lymphatic drainage, helping reduce the effects of swelling by stimulating the body's own immune response. In contrast to other technologies available, studies have demonstrated MicroVas' ability to facilitate new capillary formation, laying the groundwork for new tissue growth and repair while accelerating the healing process. In our experience, MicroVas' therapeutic effects are often substantial and our unique approach of implementation, including extensive manual hands-on therapy and functional conditioning is designed to help you achieve optimal results for long-term relief. "My neuropathy had me miserable day and night and I had just learned to live with it. After five weeks of MicroVas treatments at Rehability, I'm already seeing a difference. They have given me hope and now I feel more motivated to stay active. Thanks so much." -David M. "Since starting treatment at Rehability, I've noticed less pain, tingling and burning sensations from the neuropathy and the MicroVas has made a big difference. Thank you for your kindness and patience." -Grace R. "I had burning in both feet which has reduced significantly with all the MicroVas treatments at Rehability. My balance has improved and I'm able to exercise now with less difficulty." -Bill F.

Health & Wellness Functional Medicine & Nutrition For Personalized Optimal Health Functional medicine focuses on the whole person and on the underlying root causes of the disease by probing deeper and asking the “WHY?”. Conventional medicine, on the other hand, is a disease-centered model with focus on drugs and surgery treatment, a “Band-Aid” approach.

Functional medicine is based on cutting-edge science and utilizes specialized tests that allow us to look deeper at the underlying causes of a chronic health problem, and then resolve it by addressing the root causes. The common hidden causes are hormone imbalance, inflammatory foods, nutrient deficiencies, GI infections, heavy metals, environmental toxins, “leaky gut,” neurotransmitters imbalance, etc.

Call today for a FREE 20 minutes consultation!

Common Health Issues Treated With Functional Medicine • Chronic Fatigue • Autoimmune Illness • Anxiety/Depression • Hormone Imbalance • Weight Gain/Loss • Fibromyalgia • Thyroid/Hashimoto’s • Pain/Arthritis • Digestion/IBS/GERD • Hair Loss/Skin Problems • Brain Fog/SLEEP Issues • Migraines/Headaches • Joint Inflammation • Sexual Health • Pre/Post Menopause/PMS/PCOS • Cold Sensitivity

Lymph Matters: The Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage

Vanessa Galati-Drew

The lymphatic system touches almost every part of your body with a complicated network of fluid-filled nodes, vessels, glands and organs. Although we don’t feel or see it, the lymph is one of the most important systems in the human body! It is a key detoxification pathway, tackling environmental toxins as well as body waste. The lymphatic system works by carrying these toxins away from body tissues and into the bloodstream. It is important to keep the fluids of these systems moving properly to ensure that oxygen and other nutrients reach the tissues through the circulatory system, and for the wastes to be carried away from the tissues through the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system can easily become sluggish, especially when it becomes overwhelmed with toxic debris. Factors leading to lymph congestion are poor nutrition, injuries, constipation, environmental toxins, lack of exercise, stress, hormone imbalances and the normal aging process. A clogged lymphatic flow not only leads to impaired immunity and disease, but the development of cellulite (lymph lumps), edema (fluid retention), chronic pain and fatty deposits. It can also be a root cause of chronic sinusitis; swollen glands, ankles and eyes; eczema; arthritis; upper respiratory, sinus and ear infections; throat problems; colds; tonsillitis; bronchitis and pneumonia. The lymphatic system has no pump (like the heart) to carry waste from the lymph glands out of the body. It relies on the relaxation and the contraction of the muscles and joints to move it. Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD) is an accelerated method of moving stagnant, sticky lymphatic fluid out of the body through natural channels.

BELD therapy uses a light beam generator, which emits a stream of photons (negative ions). These are known for their antibacterial and Vanessa Galati-Drew is the founder of antimicrobial properties. This light beam with a heartbeat pulsation Cleansing Concepts, improves the flow in blood and lymph, while simultaneously loosening an exclusive waste from cells.

The session can be relaxing like a soothing massage, allowing the body to go into the parasympathetic healing mode. The result is the breaking up of the blockages in the lymph system through the re-polarization of proteins. When the polarity of the blockage is reversed, the material slowly erodes and flows out through natural system channels, and the lymph system is now free to perform its normal cleansing Eliminate harmful toxins in a safe, clean, professional & functions!

Physical Therapy For The Pediatric Population Written by: Erin Sullivan, DPT

Range of motion and flexibility differ from that of an adult so special considerations should be kept in mind when treating the pediatric population. When a child experiences an injury, treatment may vary considerably versus an adult, particularly in the event of growth plate involvement. These injuries, and the natural growth and development of a child, can significantly impact their ability to reach motor milestones. Growth spurts may also impact how and/or when they evolve their gross motor skills.

the plan of care. Your child may attend therapy sessions anywhere from once a week to three times per week depending on the outcome of your child’s evaluation. Treatment will be specific for each individual child and will be focused on age-appropriate, childdriven activities with integrated therapeutic play to address the child’s goals.

• Meeting Motor Milestones

Where can I find pediatric physical therapy?

Physical therapy is not just for adults; children can also benefit from treatment. How Can Physical Therapy Help My Child? • Orthopedics

Children may have difficulty reaching their motor milestones for a number of reasons. These milestones act as stepping stones for a child to progress towards more complex, functional activities. If children are delayed in reaching these milestones, they may also have difficulty participating in school-based, recreational, or age-specific activities.

• Sensory Processing

Children with autism spectrum disorder, or other conditions which impact sensory processing, can also benefit from skilled physical therapy services. A child’s perception of sensory input may impact their functional and gross motor ability as well as their behavior. These senses include sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, vestibular (balance), and what is known as proprioceptive or the perception of one’s own body, detected by the nervous system. It is possible that children may be over-sensitive or under-sensitive to sensory input, and it is important that their treatment be focused regarding their specific needs.

Pediatric physical therapy is available in a number of different settings. Children with developmental delays from infancy up to three years of age, in New Jersey, may be eligible for a federally funded program called Early Intervention. School-based physical therapy is also available in some cases and focuses on the child’s ability to access and participate in the school setting. Medical-model physical therapy is available in the hospital-based, home-based or outpatient setting, like All Care Physical Therapy Center. Medical-model physical therapy will address a child’s global needs, including the ability to participate in the home or community (due to injury or gross motor delays). Many children may benefit from physical therapy on an outpatient basis, in addition to receiving school-based therapy services. Parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns and treatment options with your child’s pediatrician or physician.

New Location: Brick/Ramtown!

What to expect

A licensed physical therapist will take a detailed history from you and your child regarding current or ongoing complaints. Your therapist will then complete a thorough evaluation, often through observation as well as objective measurements, to determine whether your child is performing at an age-appropriate level. Measures of joint range of motion, flexibility, and strength will also be assessed as part of the evaluation. The therapist will then discuss the findings with you and make recommendations regarding

The Top 7 Reasons to Establish a Special Needs Trust By Christine L. Matus, Esq.

Special needs trusts (SNTs) can play an important role in helping families plan for children with special needs. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to speak with your attorney about establishing an SNT. 1. Preserve public benefits while enhancing your child’s lifestyle. As adults, those with significant special needs obtain basic support from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which also is the gateway to Medicaid and other critical programs. Since SSI covers only essential expenses, most parents want to supplement their child’s lifestyle. But because SSI imposes limits on income and assets, providing funds to the child directly can jeopardize benefits eligibility. Best solution: place funds in an SNT. The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not count assets in an SNT as income for determining benefits eligibility because the assets are owned by the trust rather than the child beneficiary. 2. Ensure assets will be used as intended. With an SNT, distribution of assets is directed by trust documents as well as SSA and IRS guidelines. By comparison, if you leave assets to an “able-bodied” child and ask that some of the funds be used for the sibling with special needs, the child may fail to honor your request, lose the assets to creditors, or die prematurely and leave the funds to his or her own children. 3. Allow others to contribute. If you establish the trust now, grandparents and others can make annual gifts to the SNT of up to $14,000 ($28,000 for a married couple) without triggering the gift tax or generation-skipping tax. Anyone interested in leaving their child money should be advised to direct bequests to the SNT.

4. Fund the SNT as you wish. SNTs can be funded with cash, securities or other resources. Often, a second-to-die life insurance policy offers the most affordable option, enabling a family to fund an SNT without depleting assets required for other household needs. If assets in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) will represent a large portion of your estate, it’s important to speak with an attorney about the most tax-efficient way to transfer those assets to an SNT. 5. Identify appropriate distributions. If you establish and fund an SNT while your child is young, you can use the trust like a checking account to pay the child’s expenses. A future trustee can then refer to a record of these payments as a guide in determining necessary and appropriate distributions. 6. Maximize the benefits of a personal injury settlement. If your child wins a sizable settlement, having the payout (often a lump sum plus a structured settlement) directed to a self-settled SNT offers several benefits. Your child will still qualify for public benefits, can use settlement funds for nonessential expenses, and may enjoy the financial security of receiving regular payments for life. 7. Enhance matrimonial settlements. If your adult child who receives SSI and Medicaid divorces, having a self-settled SNT drafted through the divorce decree will allow any alimony or lump-sum payment from the child’s ex-spouse to be paid to the trust. With public benefits intact, it’s possible your child may need less from the ex-spouse. That could help ease matrimonial negotiations while still providing your child with ample resources.

Call us and we can help you determine the most appropriate way to structure an SNT to meet your individual needs.

Show Your Smile This Summer Christine Ally, DDS, FICOI Fellow, International Congress of Oral Implantologists Member, Academy of General Dentistry Member, American Academy of Implant Dentistry Member, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine Member, American Academy of Craniofacial Pain

Unfortunately, not everyone shows the confidence and beauty that is within because of personal insecurities about their appearance. We see it all the time at Shore Premier Dental Arts. People stick to “soft smiling” because of discolored teeth, a chipped tooth or one that is awkwardly turned out, a gummy smile or missing teeth. With the slightest cosmetic change, they radiate confidence and can’t seem to stop smiling! We want the same for you, too! That’s why today, we’re talking about how we can help you fall in love with your smile and show off a radiant one this Summer. As unfair as it sounds, everyone knows that appearance matters. You deserve to like what you see in the mirror, so there’s nothing wrong with pursuing cosmetic dentistry to make that happen! Believe it or not, cosmetic dentistry isn’t an exercise in vanity. Of course, it’s meant to make your teeth and gums look better, but when you think about it, improving the way your smile looks is no different than improving any other aspect of your appearance. For example, you might start dieting and exercising because you want to lose a few, but you also do it because you know you’ll feel better and healthier, too. Cosmetic dentistry works in the same way! Repairing and restoring unhealthy teeth and gums will improve your oral health while also boosting your confidence.

Don’t think of cosmetic dentistry as some sort of vain, selfish pursuit. It’s a path to being healthier, feeling good about how you look, and having the confidence to live the life you’ve always wanted to!

WHITENING

Changing Your Smile Can Truly Change Your Life

In our state-of-the-art dental office, we offer treatments as simple as teeth whitening to brighten a smile and restore discolored teeth to their natural shade and luster. We use a sensitivityfree system to ensure our patients total comfort during and after the treatment.

What you Need To Know About Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Written by Eric Sauer, R. Ph. NMD. DHPh For over twenty years I’ve educated women and men (as well as physicians) on the importance of balancing hormones. Unlike synthetic hormones, which are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, Bio-Identical Hormones are special compounds that are only compounded by a compounding pharmacy, and are “yam-based” hormones which can be taken for a lifetime with “NO” side effects. 1. What is Natural Hormone Replacement or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement? Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (NHRT) is an attempt to ‘replace’ some of the normal hormones in your body that have declined as a result of peri-menopause or surgical menopause. One of the differences between the natural vs. synthetic hormones is that the natural hormones are “bio-identical,” meaning they are exactly the same as what your body makes. In fact, if you looked under a microscope at the chemical structure, you could not tell the difference between the Bio-Identical Hormones and the body’s hormones.

4. How do you determine which hormones and how much is necessary? Various methods can be used to measure levels of hormones, everything from blood to saliva. Saliva testing is 98% accurate while blood testing is only 2% accurate. All blood testing measures is the NON ACTIVE FORM, which makes it less accurate to dose the patient correctly. The saliva test is both BIO-ACTIVE and is measured on a cellular level, which clearly makes a significant difference, making it more accurate to treat the patient and dose correctly. Twenty thousand physicians prefer saliva over blood when it comes to measuring hormone levels in the body. 5. Why Do We Need Bio- Identical Hormones? As teenagers for PMS symptoms, since there are over 400 symptoms I won’t name them all. Teenagers with cramps, mood swings, foggy brain, hair loss and irregular periods. I’ve had girls at ages 14 and up taking progesterone lozenges without any side effects. Birth control pills lead to breast cancer in women. Menopause women or those who have had a hysterectomy really need hormones naturally. Natural Hormone Replacement helps adult females get rid of hot flashes and all other menopause symptoms such as vaginal dryness. It also helps with osteoporosis, bladder control, hair loss, anxiety attacks, dementia, Alzheimers, dry eye syndrome, Sjorgens, depression and helps elevated cholesterol and LDL levels.

For more information, call The Natural Pharmacy at 732-695-0277.

Eric Sauer, R.Ph., NMD, DHPh www.drenzymes.com Laurie Lombardi, CDN www.laurielombardi.com Dr. S Kalika, MD

2. Where do the Bio-Identical Hormones come from? Bio-Identical Hormones are just that—they are natural and bio-identical to a person’s body. They are made from plant sources. The source of the estrogen and progesterone can be obtained from either soy or yams. I only compound yam-based hormones. 3. Which hormones are in need of replacement? That all depends on the individual. Most commonly, women experiencing a decline in hormone levels may require some type of estrogen as well as progesterone. Some patients also take testosterone, DHEA and other hormones.

Women and Cancer…Part l What You Need To Know The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Women’s Health is coordinating a week-long observance celebrated nationwide as Women’s Health Awareness Week. The aim is to empower women to improve their physical and mental health. THERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT STEPS WOMEN MUST TAKE IN THE ROAD TO HEALTH:

• Visit a health care professional regularly for check-ups and preventive screenings. • Get active. • Eat healthy. • Pay attention to mental health, which includes getting enough sleep and managing stress. • Avoid unhealthy behavior. One of the major diseases affecting women is cancer, which kills more than a quarter million women every year in the U.S. But that number could be reduced through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Some cancers affect both men and women while others are unique to women. They include breast cancer[note that breast cancer is NOT unique to women, men get it too] (the most common in the U.S.) as well as cancer of the ovaries, cervix, uterus and external genitalia. That is the group we will focus on here.

Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women worldwide. More than 85% occur in developing countries, but it is also among the top ten causes of cancer deaths among women in the U.S. Over 95% of cases are linked to a sexually transmitted virus called HPV (human papilloma virus). Risk factors include early and promiscuous sexual activity, smoking, prolonged use of birth control pills, STDs, and immunosuppression. In its early stages, this disease can be asymptomatic. Symptoms in later stages include bloody vaginal discharge, pain, and abnormal vaginal bleeding (in between regular menstrual cycles, post-coital, and post-menopausal).

for PAP testing afterwards; if done for cancer, or if cervix is left behind, screening should be continued.

HPV Vaccination

Another good piece of news is that there are two very effective vaccines – Gardasil and Cervarix – that will prevent those cases of cervical cancer that are linked to HPV. The vaccine is given to females between the ages of 9 and 26 years, and to males between 9 and 21. It’s given in three doses, ideally before the person has become sexually active. Please note: vaccinated women still need screening! Side effects include mild redness, tenderness and swelling at the injection site, as well as an increased risk of blood clots, but no long-term side effects have been reported. Stay tuned for part-two of this two-part series in the July/August issue. Next issue we will discuss cancer of the uterus.

Screening and Early Detection

The good news is that screening and early detection can prevent deaths from cervical cancer. Both cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions can be detected by doing PAP smears. Women should start routine PAP tests at 21 years of age. Between the ages of 21 and 29, they should have the test every two years; between 30 and 65, every five years; and over 65, they may discontinue screening if they have had: • Three negative pap tests in a row; • Regular pap tests; • No abnormal pap tests in 10 years. If a total hysterectomy is performed for benign reasons, there’s no need

Music Enhances Lives of People with Dementia Deborah Walsh,

Executive Director, HomeWorks

Ever get chills listening to a particularly moving piece of music? You can thank the salience network of the brain for that emotional moment. Surprisingly, this region also remains an island of remembrance that is spared from the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at the University of Utah are looking to this region of the brain to develop music-based treatments to help alleviate anxiety in patients with dementia. Recently, music has been found to help patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s recall memories and emotions and promote enhanced mental performances. Here are five reasons why researchers believe that music boosts brain activity:

1. Music can evoke emotion in even the most advanced of patients with Alzheimer’s. Neurologist Oliver Sacks says, “Music evokes

emotion and emotion can bring with it memory … it brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can.”

2. Musical aptitude and appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in patients with dementia. Because these two abilities remain

long after other abilities have passed, music is an excellent way to reach beyond the disease and affect the person. 3. Music can bring emotional and physical closeness. In the later stages of dementia, patients often lose the ability to share emotions with

caregivers. Through music, as long as they are ambulatory, they can often dance. Dancing can lead to hugs, kisses, and touching, which bring security and memories. 4. Music can shift mood, manage stress, and stimulate positive interactions, according to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. This

occurs because music requires little to no mental processing, so singing music does not require the cognitive function lacking in most patients with dementia.

5. While singing is engaging, it stimulates more than just the brain and the area related to singing. As singing activates the left side of

the brain, listening to music sparks activity in the right, so the brain is exercising more mind power than usual.

ANS’ Dr. Paul Saphier Leads NJ Arm of Global Clinical Trial to Improve the Standard of Care for Brain Bleeds ANS challenges status quo with adoption of new minimally invasive technology to treat patients with hemorrhagic strokes Every year in the U.S., approximately 120,000 people experience hemorrhagic strokes – commonly referred to as brain bleeds. Only 50 percent survive. Of those who do, two-thirds are left with lasting physical or cognitive deficits. Despite these statistics, the majority of neurosurgeons continue to follow the status quo for treatment. Dr. Paul Saphier, a board-certified neurosurgeon and stroke specialist at Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS) with locations throughout New Jersey, is helping spearhead an effort to advance what the medical community considers the best medical treatment for hemorrhagic strokes … and improve outcomes for patients. “We owe it to patients – and to ourselves as medical professionals – to do better,” says Dr. Saphier. Dr. Saphier is the Lead Principal Investigator in New Jersey for a global clinical trial – coined the MIND (Minimally Invasive Neuro Evacuation Device) Trial – whose objective is to compare the efficacy of new Artemis technology with the current standard of care for removing large, historically lethal brain bleeds.

This is why… ANS’ Dr. Paul Saphier, pictured here with the Artemis Neuro Evacuation Device, explains how the minimally invasive ‘S.E.E.I.N.G’ technique may be able to improve outcomes for brain bleed patients.

ANS is the only neurosurgical practice in the state selected to participate in the study. Today, standard practice entails addressing the underlying cause of the bleeding, such as controlling high blood pressure, to stabilize the patient.

We give you the best in brain, spine and neurovascular care. Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists now accepts Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.

“That’s typically where the care ends,” adds Dr. Saphier. “Over the past 50 or 60 years, neurosurgeons have not operated on intracranial hemorrhages because research hasn’t supported the case for doing so. However, we will continue to see high mortality and disability rates if we don’t take steps forward to strategically study new surgical therapies that could ultimately save and improve lives.” Using sophisticated imaging and technology, the Artemis device facilitates S.E.E.I.N.G. (short for Surgical Endoscopic Evacuation of Intracranial Hemorrhage with Neuro-navigational Guidance), a procedure whereby surgeons evacuate large brain hemorrhages through very small incisions in the skull. This allows effective treatment of the most dangerous brain hemorrhages without exposing patients to the risks of an open surgical procedure. Dr. Saphier and his colleagues at ANS have used Artemis technology on approximately 100 patients since its approval by the FDA. While Dr. Saphier cautions the treatment is not suited for all brain bleed patients, he says many of the outcomes he has seen have been promising. “There have been several cases where, using Artemis, I successfully removed brain bleeds from patients in near-fatal conditions and saw them recover 100 percent,” he notes. “We are hopeful the clinical trial will reinforce cases like these. By gathering data and examining real-life results of surgically sound, progressive treatment options, we will lead the way toward raising the bar for patient outcomes and saving more lives.” For more information about this new, minimally invasive treatment option for brain bleeds and to inquire if you, a loved one or a patient is a possible candidate for the MIND clinical trial, call 833-SEEING1 (833-733-4641). Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS) is New Jersey’s largest neuro-surgical practice and one of the most advanced in the country. For more information, visit ansdocs.com.

Fecal Incontinence: Dealing with an Embarrassing Condition Medical Professionals

What is fecal incontinence?

Fecal incontinence, or bowel incontinence, is the inability to control bowel movements, causing the involuntary passage of stool. Symptoms of this often embarrassing disorder range from occasionally leaking small amounts of stool and passing gas, to completely losing control of bowel movements. Classified as a pelvic floor disorder (PFD), fecal incontinence occurs when muscles in the pelvic area cannot support the organs in the pelvis. These organs include the bladder, uterus (women), prostate (men), and rectum.

doctor may recommend diet modification and adjusting nutritional supplements taken. If nerve or muscle damage is the cause of the fecal incontinence, the physician may recommend exercises and similar therapies to improve function and strength. These exercises include bowel training and biofeedback. Biofeedback is a technique taught by specially trained physiotherapists that can increase anal muscle strength, allowing patients to learn to relax or contract pelvic floor muscles. Medication sometimes helps patients with fecal incontinence. When appropriate, these may be prescribed by your physician.

With a graduate degree from the University of Virginia, Lori has taken her experiences with dating, coaching, teaching, research and business, and parlayed them into educating people about the business of love. She hopes that by sharing her own personal experiences, both good and bad, she can alleviate the anxiety that comes with dating, and help lead her clients to their very own fairy tale endings.

What Can Be Done For Painful Varicose Veins? Mechanico Chemical Ablation offers a high level of efficiency and is a less painful treatment of varicose veins. This is possible through a new device – CalriVein – the latest technological innovation in the treatment of varicose veins. No bleeding, no bruising and no pain.You can even return to work the same day. It really is as simple as that. Girija Surya, M.D.

Board Certified in Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery

How It Works The ClariVein catheter is guided into the vein using an ultrasound. The procedure is virtually pain free and doesn’t require any anesthetic. The tip of the catheter is then positioned near the sapheno-femoral junction. The catheter sprays a chemical into the vein, sealing it and preventing the varicose vein from re-appearing. Once the procedure is finished, most patients find that they are able to return to normal activities the same day. You can even drive yourself home! ClariVein is a special motorized catheter with a rotating tip. It uses chemo-mechnical ablation. “Chemo” stands for the liquid that has special chemical properties that destroy the inner lining of the vein. “Mechanical” stands for the rotating tip of the catheter that sprays the liquid onto the inside wall of the vein. It uses the rotation of the catheter tip together with the sprayed liquid to close and seal a faulty, leaky vein. ClariVein does not use heat and does not cause pain so there is no risk of burning structures close to the vein. In addition, there is no anesthesia required when using ClariVein. This is why most patients find the ClariVein procedure more comfortable and tolerable than all other endovenous techniques. Dr. Girija Surya is an MD Board Certified in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. In 2014, Dr. Surya has been chosen as a NJ Top Doc in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. At Vein Center for Women, our philosophy is to promote “Total

FREE Vein Screening

Four Steps to a Perfect Estate Plan Despite the fact you may think you have completed everything that is necessary for your estate plan once you have signed your estate documents, think again! Experts all agree your estate planning does not stop there. There are four additional steps to the perfect estate plan and they are essential to keep in mind. Upon signing your documents, you should: Communicate: Let those named in your documents know who is responsible to make your decisions, whether financial or medical, and also tell those individuals where your documents are located. A common mistake people make is to go home and throw the documents in a file. Then, years later, when an emergency arises and you need assistance, no one knows where the documents are or who has the authority to make decisions. This leads to confusion and stress. Don’t keep your estate plan a secret. Share the knowledge: This step is probably the hardest for most people. Oftentimes, parents can be reluctant to share information about their finances with their children. At the very least, the

The Next Generation “Open” MRI A Friend’s Experience My friend named Sharon who lives in Washington DC called me with a medical problem.

he recently started having mild backaches as well as the sensation of “lightening” shooting down her left leg. Her doctor in Washington was concerned she could have a herniated disk in her spine and he recommended an MRI to diagnose the problem. It was explained to her that an MRI is basically a large magnet that images the body. The advantage of the MRI is that unlike some other tests there is no radiation and the detailed images obtained are of excellent quality. The disadvantage is that the test can take up to 45 minutes and one’s entire body enters the MRI through a narrow tube surrounded by the machine. The space between a patient’s body and the machine can be tight. Unfortunately, Sharon is extremely claustrophobic. After arranging for the procedure at a radiology facility near her home in Washington DC, she attempted to have an MRI on an older magnet but couldn’t go through with it. She was even given a little valium to relax her but the tight space

was too much to bear. Sharon called me wanting to know what she should do. I told her that the MRI is the best test to detect a herniated disks in her spine. She needed the MRI. Sharon then asked me about an “open” MRI. Open MRIs became very popular in the 1990s. Instead of being surrounded by the machine while lying in a tube, the machine was in the shape of a clam with the sides of the MRI being open. There were still a few problems with the open MRI. Although the sides were open, the top of the machine was very close to the patient’s face. This design still bothered some patients who suffered from claustrophobia. The bigger problem with the Open MRIs was the strength of the magnet. Weaker magnet strength means lower image quality. Most standard MRIs have a strength of 1.0 Tesla which gives good images. Most open MRIs have a magnet strength of 0.4 Tesla. This markedly degrades the image quality, compared with standard MRIs. Additionally, many advanced MRI techniques cannot be performed with these weaker magnets. Sharon asked what do we do at my office. I told her we have the very latest in “open” MRI

technology, which addresses both of these issues. Our brand new MRI has a magnet strength of 1.5 Tesla which is stronger than most standard MRIs. This produces superior images and allows us to perform advanced MRI techniques and sequences. The stronger magnet strength also decreases the scan time allowing the patients to finish their exams faster. The opening (also called the bore) in our new MRI is very wide with the machine far from the patient’s face. The standard MRI would be several inches from the patient’s face; however our wide bore open MRI is one foot from our patient’s face. This dramatically decreases the sensation of claustrophobia. This wide bore is approximately 2.3 feet wide, which is ideal for claustrophobic patients and larger patients who need more room. With the older model MRIs, one’s entire body has to enter the MRI. Our new MRI is 4 feet long. This is much shorter than most MRI’s and is in the shape of a donut (rather than a long coffin-like tube). This means that for a majority of tests, our patient’s head is outside of the machine, helping to ease the sensation of claustrophobia. I told Sharon that since we placed our new MRI, we practically haven’t had

“Open” wide bore MRI provides the best comfort for all body types and those with claustrophobia.

MRI Of The Spine: Quality of Images

Our referring physicians, especially our surgeons and neurologists, have also been very pleased with the image quality produced by our machine. Sharon came to my office in Toms River and had her examination without any problems. She was so

Advanced “Open” MRI comfortable in our MRI she actually fell asleep! The good news for Sharon is she did not have a herniated disk. She had a small tear in her disk that was causing her symptoms and will heal in several months without surgery.

Business Spotlight

Patients Are Treated Like Family at the Office of Dr. Kathy Banks In addition to caring for her patients, Dr. Kathy Banks is highly focused on perfecting her team in the office. Although it did take some time, she has now found the ideal fit. Team members Monica, Danielle, Diana, Amanda, Jessica and Sonya work exceptionally well together and enable her to provide the excellent patient care that she is known for. She adds, “The most important aspect of our team is that we mutually respect and care about one another. Silly interpersonal conflicts and office politics are distractions, and stand in the way of delivering excellent patient care. It takes extra work to achieve and maintain this level of professionalism, but it allows us to keep our focus centered on our patients.”

As an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, she has had numerous papers published and is a frequent presenter for continuing education classes. With more than 15 years of experience treating patients of all ages, she is able to treat most of them comfortably in her office. However, when circumstances dictate, Dr. Banks holds hospital privileges in three hospitals: Jersey Shore University Hospital, Southern Ocean Medical Center, and Community Medical Center. She treats patients on an outpatient basis when necessary. Another enhancement to her practice has been starting ongoing education in various areas of expertise. “Before opening this office, I witnessed staff members elsewhere going through the motions of their jobs. I did not want this to be my team. As a life- long learner, I insist on investing in the professional development of all of my team members, including myself. The more knowledge and new skills we are able to master, the more we have to offer our patients. Adding new skills and reinforcing techniques we already practice will enhance our patients’ experience from start to finish,” she says. Dr. Banks’ philosophy is that every patient deserves to be treated like a family member. This often means that team members must stay late, come in early, or adjust their lunch hours to accommodate a patient with a truly serious condition. This is their commitment: to provide excellent, quality care to their patients. When you are a patient of Dr. Banks, quality care begins the moment you call the office, and continues until discharged. She explains, “Staff members Danielle and Diana guide patients through the registration and scheduling process, and answer the myriad of insurance related questions and concerns. Then, Amanda, Jessica

and Arly take over with the “hands on “ part of patient care, assisting me with evaluation, taking x-rays and the surgical-anesthetic aspects of care. These three ladies are so compassionate with our patients that they are able to make a surgical appointment pleasant. Their clinical abilities allow me to perform my work at a much higher level,” she adds. New technology plays a big part in the office of Dr. Banks. “Hands down, the number one development in oral and maxillofacial surgery has been integrating 3D imaging into patient care. Cone Beam CT scanning is indispensable in diagnosing common oral conditions such a cysts, tumors, and impacted teeth ” she says. She also uses 3D images for dental implant surgery and can perform virtual surgical implant surgery using either of the two software programs. She explains, “From this work up, a surgical guide can be fabricated and used in the surgery procedure so that the implants are placed in the exact angulation and depth as planned. This is called “guided surgery” and I use this routinely.” Another use for the CBCT scan is jaw reconstruction. “I have used CBCT scans to plan orthognathic surgery procedures where the jaws are cut and repositioned so the teeth match up. The virtual surgery plan done on the computer is used to generate surgical guides that help me perform the jaw surgery with enhanced precision,” she says.

Dr. Kathy Banks received her undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and received her DMD from Temple University School of Dentistry. After dental school, she completed an Advanced Education General Dentistry program and then completed her 4-year specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. She was later awarded her Board Certification by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the American Board of Anesthesiology. She is currently the first female Chair of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation, and organization dedicated to improving the quality and safety of patient care by advancing innovation in oral and maxillofacial surgery research and education.

If You Have Been Told You Are Not A Candidate For Dental Implants:

Often, patients are told that they are not candidates for dental implants because they “don’t have enough bone” or their “sinus is too low.”

You don’t have to live like this anymore!

Both conditions are correctable problems in almost all patients, according to Dr. Banks. When the gum ridge where teeth are missing is too thin to place a dental implant, bone grafting can be performed to correct the problem. What that means is that a bone replacement product, or even the patient’s own bone, can be placed into the deficient area, stabilized, and allowed to heal.

10 Ways To Love Start now. It’s never too late or too early to incorporate healthy habits.

BREAK A SWEAT. Engage in regular cardiovascular exercise that elevates heart rate and increases blood flow. Studies have found that physical activity reduces risk of cognitive decline.

Your Brain

Growing evidence indicates that people can reduce their risk of cognitive decline by adopting key lifestyle habits. When possible, combine these habits to achieve maximum benefit for the brain and body.

HIT THE BOOKS. Formal education will help reduce risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Take a class at a local college, community center or online

BUTT OUT. Smoking increases risk of cognitive decline.

Quitting smoking can reduce risk to levels comparable to those who have not smoked.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke — obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes — negatively impact your cognitive health.

HEADS UP! Brain injury can raise risk of

cognitive decline and dementia. Wear a seat belt and use a helmet when playing contact sports or riding a bike.

FUEL UP RIGHT. Eat a balanced diet that is higher in vegetables and fruit to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

CATCH SOME ZZZ’s. Not getting enough

sleep may result in problems with memory and thinking.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. Some

studies link depression with cognitive decline, so seek treatment if you have depression, anxiety or stress.

BUDDY UP. Staying socially engaged may support brain health. Find ways to be part of your local community or share activities with friends and family.

STUMP YOURSELF. Challenge your mind. Build a piece of furniture. Play games of strategy, like bridge.

Health & Wellness Come Home From Vacation Feeling Light & Free, and Stuffed Only With Great Memories! We all look forward to vacation – the downtime, change of scenery and routine, new adventures, and that great carefree feeling. For too many people, though, vacation is synonymous with a gluttonous food-fest. They give themselves a green light to continuously overeat and over-drink, and consume tons of junk. “I’m on vacation – I deserve this,” they tell themselves. When they get home, they lament their higher weight and snugfitting clothes. If they were already carrying around excess pounds, they now have an additional 5-10 pounds and all the negative physiologic effects that go with them. If you care about your health and want to avoid a big weight gain on vacation, here are a few simple things you can do: • Have a flexible plan for handling meals. For example, consider having larger lunches and smaller dinners. It’s more cost-effective, and a lighter dinner is more conducive to getting quality sleep. Maybe order several appetizers and share an entrée. It’s a great way to try a variety of foods. • Ask questions and make requests at restaurants. Ask how foods are prepared, so you don’t end up with fried foods or rich sauces you weren’t expecting. It’s okay to ask for foods to be prepared with less fat or cheese, or to have dressing or sauce served on the side. • Enjoy regional foods in just the right amounts. Order the specialties of the area you’re visiting. If you’re in New Orleans, share a muffaletta or beignet! In Memphis, share some of that great BBQ. Eat

slowly and savor every delicious bite! • Fully immerse yourself in the places you’re visiting. Use your senses to embrace the colors, the sounds, the fragrances, the culture. Vacation is about so much more than the food. • Plan to be active – and bring several pairs of comfortable sneakers. Walk, walk, and walk some more. It’s the best way to experience a new place and build your overall sense of well-being (and, of course, burn a few calories). • Carry water and some healthy snacks with you. Stick some trail mix, fruit, or low-sugar protein bars in your backpack, for example. Prevent yourself from being so famished at meals that you overeat and make poor choices. • Consume alcohol in moderation – and alternate with water. Calories from alcohol count – and mixed drinks are often loaded with them. Plus, alcohol has a way of thwarting the best of intentions. • Balance things out. If you overdid it at breakfast, lighten up on your other meals. If you had a drink at dinner, pass on the dessert tray. While you’re on vacation, you’ll notice some people treating their bodies like garbage cans. Instead, choose to treat your body as the miraculous, amazing “machine” that it is. It’s the only one you’ll have in this lifetime.

Wigs & Hair Replacement

Suffering From Postpartum Hair Loss? Postpartum hair loss affects between 40 to 50% of new moms after delivery.

For most women, this condition is temporary and they will get their full head of hair back. For others, this loss of density might become permanent. A consultation with a trichology technician will provide a personalized prevention program including in-salon care and at home routine during and after pregnancy, in order to restart the interrupted hair growth cycle, promote a return to optimal density and help reduce the effects of postpartum hair loss.

We are your local Toms River, NJ certified experts and resellers of Head First products. Call 732-255-1733 for more information or to schedule an appointment with one of our certified specialists.

Premier Designs

Sonia is the wife of a firefighter for over 20 years. She is the mother of three beautiful children, two boys and a girl. Her two oldest are grown with their own children, and her youngest boy has entered college life. Family means everything to Sonia, it is her pride and joy. She left behind her career as a personal banker of 20 years to become a stay-at-home mom after her youngest was born. She committed her life to family. And now that time has passed and the children are grown, entering the real world or with families of their own, she found herself wondering what she would do in this next chapter of her life. Sonia was struggling to find her place after her children no longer needed her. She started researching direct-sell companies, lots of them. She was invited to hear the Premier Designs Business opportunity and was impressed by what she heard! Not only has Premier Designs enriched her life, but they also enrich every life they touch through funding missions and charities all around the world and here in the US.

Her job is to help you develop it!

Podcast

The Hol Truth Holistic Health Coach Jon Levine is on a mission to help his clients claim the health and happiness that is their God-given right. After a job in pharmaceutical sales and seeing his father die from Parkinson’s and brain cancer, it was time for him to create change when it comes to true health. With all the conflicting health info in our busy world, this passionate health nut will help guide you through the storm and into clear waters.

MCW: What got you into health coaching?

I have always been interested in health, whether it was playing sports or figuring out the right nutrition for my body. I sold high blood pressure medication to over 131 doctors in Florida after college, and although it was a nice job financially, it didn’t feel good seeing what I saw. What we have in this country is a disease management model that isn’t working very well. Ironically, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and brain cancer at the same time. It’s very important to me to do something that I am very passionate about and enjoy, and make a difference in people’s lives.

MCW: Tell me about your family.

I am a very lucky guy with a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids ages 10, 8 and 5. My wife, Anya, and I have been married for 13 years. We also have a guinea pig named Cherry and a white rabbit named Nibbles.

MCW: What do you specialize in?

Nutrition drives a lot of what makes us healthy, but it’s really so much more than that. I believe strongly in looking at the whole person and that’s why my business name is the Hol Truth Health Coach. I deal with mind, body and soul.

MCW: What is health to you?

Everyone is a unique individual with different needs and goals. I have to understand my client’s specific needs and address those needs appropriately. Some people need less stress while others need more sleep. Whatever it is, I am the guide on the side to help them reach their health goals.

MCW: What is the best approach to health coaching?

You obviously have to have knowledge in a wide range of health topics. Mine being nutrition, but it’s asking high-mileage questions and active listening that comes before everything else. I don’t tell people what to do because that doesn’t work. Instead, I listen to what they are telling me they need.

MCW: Tell me about your The Hol Truth Podcast with Jon Levine.

I have several friends who urged me to start a health podcast. I use a local studio called A Shared Universe in Eatontown and interview doctors, health experts and people who have reversed diseases through what I call lifestyle medicine. I carefully screen guests because I will only bring on people I believe in. I love it and it’s a lot of fun. The goal is to educate, empower and entertain.

Call for a free consultation!

MCW: How do you help clients?

A good health coach is someone who truly cares and listens to their patients. When a patient feels safe and comfortable, they will open up and the healing process will begin. There is a root cause for every health ailment, and it’s my job to show compassion and help my clients uncover what their health problem stems from. We work as a team and make it happen.

MCW: Describe your coaching style.

Positive, Positive, Positive. Energy is contagious. If I’m in a bad mood, then my client will take on that negative energy. If I’m upbeat and passionate, they will know they are in good hands.

MCW: Do you sell any products or supplements?

Yes, but I will not push them on people unless they are interested. Quality supplements have a place in our lives because of the mineral depletion in our soil. I have partnered with Shaklee because they are pure, safe, proven products that have been around for over 60 years. They have an in-house team of PhD’s and scientists who perform over 100,000 quality tests each year and have over 135 scientific papers published to date. I use the products myself and they make a big difference in how I feel, so I’m comfortable recommending them to others.

The night will be filled with fun, fashion, great food and great people. For reservations please call the Lupus Foundation Office at 973-379-3226. Debra Kohn is the Event Coordinator for the Annual Event. Debra was a Para-Medical Examiner Technician Nurse for 32 years but is now an Advocate and Survivor of Lupus. She has been a Professional Runway and Print Model since age 16. She was chosen to compete in the Mrs. NJ America Pageant in 2014 as Mrs. Monmouth County America and won the Pageantry Spirit Award. She was also chosen to compete in the Mrs. NJ United States Pageant 2011 and 2012 as Mrs. Howell Township and won the Community Service Award for all the community volunteer work she has done for her cause for Lupus-Research to Find a Cure. Debra has been awarded the LFA/NJ’s Volunteer Service Awards yearly from 2012 thru 2018 and the Lupus Foundation Courage Award 2015. She was awarded the Butterfly of Hope Award 2016 at the LFA/NJ Annual Awards Meeting & Educational Seminar. She received these awards in recognition of her ongoing volunteer work and fundraising efforts. She is also honored to be receiving the Mrs. NJ United States Phenomenal Women’s Award 2019 on May 18 at the Mrs. NJ/PA United States Women’s Gala & Awards Dinner to be held at the Doubletree Hilton Hotel, Princeton, NJ. Debra currently serves as a member of the LFA/NJ Board of Directors. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood and kidneys. The immune system normally protects the body against viruses, bacteria and other foreign materials. In an autoimmune disease like Lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances and its own cells and tissues. Lupus is NOT infectious, rare or cancerous. Lupus affects people of all ages, including children, but it most often strikes people when they are between the ages of 15 and 45. Nine out of ten people with Lupus are women. Although the cause of Lupus is unknown, scientists suspect that individuals are genetically predisposed to Lupus and know that environmental factors such as infections, antibiotics, ultraviolet light, extreme stress and certain drugs play a critical role in triggering Lupus. Women are five times more likely to die from Lupus than men. African Americans are three times more likely to die from Lupus than Caucasians. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms come and go and mimic many other illnesses. Some symptoms of Lupus can include transient joint and muscle pain, fatigue and rashes caused by or made worse by sensitivity of the fingers to the cold. The risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and osteoporosis is much higher in people with Lupus than in the general population. While medical science has not yet developed a cure for Lupus, new research brings unexpected findings and increased hope each year. (Source: Remove the Mask Brochure, LFANJ 2013)
