Who Makes the Best Cabinets for the Money?

It pays to remember Premium Cabinets of Tulsa during your kitchen remodeling process.

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

J

uly 2021: Home is where the heart is, and the kitchen is the heart of the home. Just as food nurtures the mind, body and soul… the kitchen is the place where meals are prepared with love, on-the-go and for snack time. People gather there during parties and gatherings for conversation, taste tests and memorymaking. For all these reasons your kitchen cabinets are one of the most important choices when renovating.

Your cabinetry should provide the perfect balance of function, style and inspiration.

Established in 2004, Premium Cabinets of Tulsa has built a strong

reputation for providing their customers with high quality cabinetry while maintaining affordability.

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa is locally owned and family-operated.

“My dad and I started the company.

Now it’s a whole new generation with me, my wife and kids,” said Austin Gullic. You’ll enjoy dozens of choices of wood cabinetry styles and colors for kitchens and bathrooms.

Design assistance is also provided.

The importance of design and planning cannot be underestimated.

It is key to making your space user-friendly for you and your family. They will help you with all the details including the ones sometimes overlooked. “As my family has grown, so has my

grasp on optimizing family spaces. I have training and understanding of kitchens, and my family has given me an even greater appreciation for the heart of the home.”

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa enables clients to preview their visions using a 3D tour. From start to finish, a project can be completed within two to three months. As their cabinets are completely finished before installation, time spent without use of the space is minimal, and there are no dangerous fumes. Appointments for consultations are preferred, so that each client receives one-on-one personal attention.

Many other cabinetry businesses were unable to weather the storm of the past year, but Premium Cabinets of Tulsa survived successfully, with

a 30 percent increase in sales. Austin attributes their growth to the quality they provide. “Our reviews and our reputation are what made us so successful,” he said. “We are really grateful for the respect of our clients and their referrals; and we are truly blessed and proud of what we’ve been able to create and continue to grow.”

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa’s designs can be an enhancement not only in kitchen and bath but can extend to

built-ins for entertainment centers and around fireplaces, or storage in game rooms, and even wine cabinets.

There are endless possibilities to increase the organizational flow within a home.

One of the things that Austin loves the most about his work, is sitting with his clients and getting into the needs and wishes at the heart of the design. “I live by an attitude of gratitude,” he said. “I, and my staff,

love making each client feel special.

We think it’s cool to turn someone’s dreams and ideas into reality.”

UnUsUal Pet ComPanions

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

W

hile the typical cat or dog remains the No. 1 and two picks respectively for pet ownership, some people prefer to think outside of the litter box when choosing their household companion. Among some of the most popular pets are fish, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs or birds.

Even though bears, cougars and alligators have lived in captivity and been domesticated in some conditions, their wild instincts are built in the breed and this can cause one of these animals to lash out with any inadvertent trigger. Although some animals are illegal to own in confinement, some are just not welcome in an urban setting.

One Maryland family brags that they had what they deemed to be an uncommon pet, Harley. The story goes that Harley was a potbelly pig they incorporated into their everyday life. Known for their intelligence and sweet temperament, this species of pig is independent like a feline and affectionate like a canine. As with most pigs, these porkers love to root around in the dirt, lay in the sun and enjoy being petted. Potbellies weigh up to 100 pounds and live to be 20 years old. If throwing a ball with the dog is on the to-do list, better make time for the pig too. They love to play.

Harley spent most of his time in the house, but when outside, he got to be renowned friends with the neighbor’s dog. Nothing like having a bestie.

Although he enjoyed the young boys in the family, he was a little offended when they played too rough with him. Who he truly admired was

18 |

the lady of the house. Harley was everlastingly devoted to nurse Debbie Greene, and there was nothing better than hanging with his lady. He’d relax, lay up against the furniture and scratch. Of course, Harley was potty trained and had impeccable manners.

He did have one vice, however. He was a fussy eater.

“He would only eat salad with dressing,” Greene said. “He would spit out the fruit or veggies if he found them getting a little too old.”

Bixby retired nurses aid Norma Young is thrilled when the doorbell rings and her son and daughterin-law drop off the grandbaby for her to watch. Yes, Young sits for the busy couple’s broken tort holland lop, a bunny named Pancake. Now, this isn’t just any fur baby. This rabbit has a real compulsion for watching TV and when he stays with grandma, she turns over control of the remote and lets him watch his favorite programs without limitation. As it turns out, this hare has an appetite for home Right: Pancake the rabbit watching Stacia Knight.

VALUE NEWS OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE JULY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

construction reality shows.

“His favorite is ‘Fixer Upper,’ and once he hears the theme song, he’s all in,” Young said. “He stretches out in front of the television immovable and becomes fixated on the big screen. If there is an upsetting occurrence on the show, Pancake thumps in reaction, a rabbit’s signal of distress. Once the broadcast is over and another comes on, he loses interest and moves on with other activities.”

There is only one thing he enjoys witnessing more than a home in ruins become refurbished in a record 30 minutes, and that’s to watch Oklahoma weather forecasts. Not just any meteorologist will do. Move over KOTV’s Travis Meyer, because it’s only Stacia Knight that turns this rabbit’s head. He may be frolicking about the room, but the minute he

hears her voice, all activity halts and Pancake is captivated. Because his devotion is so robust, Knight featured Pancake and his crush on an evening broadcast.

One Tulsa bachelor, Jeff Wetterman, shares his condo with a chatty girl, but this chick is of the feathered sort.

Abiding Harvest Associate Pastor and Asbury Theological Seminary Master of Divinity Student moved past the typical dog and cat and headed straight for a member of the flock – no pun intended.

Gracie, Wetterman’s Congo African Grey Parrot, is a lifetime commitment. Greys can live up to 50 or more years. The most impressive attribute of the parrot family is their expansive vocabulary and the intelligence to use it in response to stimuli around them. Gracie doesn’t just recite her hundreds of words and phrases at random, but instead, she makes comments in relation to what is happening in her environment. When Wetterman first acquired the bird, he tried to teach her to sing, “Jesus Loves Me.” She must have been a little hungry at the time because she changed the lyrics to what was on her mind. The song began, “Yes, Jesus wants some cheese.”

But church hymns aren’t the only genre this feathered friend can belt out. She also knows versions of a few rock tunes such as Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and the Carpenters’ “Sing.”

Expert in animal cognition Dr. Irene Pepperberg has done extensive research on the African Greys. She claims they have the intelligence of a five-year-old and the emotional maturity of a two-year-old child.

This particular grey can manipulate locks and levers on her cage, and she’s keen on the most subtle of cues. If Gracie sees Wetterman dress in a button-down shirt, she’ll respond, “Daddy go to work.” If Wetterman dresses in a T-shirt and shorts, she’ll announce, “Daddy go for walk.” Now, that’s no birdbrain.

Right: Jeff Wetterman with his Congo African Grey Parrot, Gracie.

Gracie starts her day with a cheerful greeting and an order off the menu, “Good morning.

Gracie want veggies.

Gracie want water. Gracie want cheese.”

After breakfast, she likes to get her morning shower out of the way and reports her delight with, “Gracie take a bath in her water bowl. Feels good.” No problem with this bird’s self-esteem. She is quick to brag, “Gracie is a good bird. Gracie is a pretty bird.” Occasionally, she’ll try to tempt Wetterman into some wrongdoing. When it’s time to go to work, Gracie will try to coax her manfriend into pulling a Ferris Bueller – the slacker who skipped school for a day in a movie titled after his name – with, “Daddy stay home with Gracie bird.” When it’s time to hit the sack, she’ll end the day with, “Night, Night. Sleepy Time. Sweet Tomorrow.” But most of all, she feels the need to express her love to her counterpart Wetterman with, “I love you so much!” Gracie loves daddy.

Daddy loves Gracie.”

Surely there’s a downside to owning a Grey. Wetterman claims to look no further than the end of Gracie’s beak.

He says that she can bite HARD! Nevertheless, no need to worry about this twosome’s relationship. They seem to work out their differences with Gracie repenting of her sins.

When she sees she has hurt her

partner, she’ll blurt, “Gracie bite daddy. Ouchie. Gracie sorry.”

Wetterman has a repertoire of amusing stories of his feathered roommate. One goes like this.

“When Gracie was young, she used to throw her veggie bowl on the floor after she was finished eating,” Wetterman said. “I think she enjoyed watching me clean it up. In response, I would call her a ‘stinker.’ She often would repeat that to herself with glee, “Gracie is a stinker!” Well, I was visiting my parents one weekend and brought Gracie with me. While my mother, Pam, was in the kitchen, she dropped a bowl of salad on the floor.

Gracie looked up and said, ‘Pammy is a stinker!’”

While the average resident would never put up with a roommate that doesn’t pay their share of the rent or clean up their messes, it’s the household pet that seems to get a pass simply by putting on sad eyes or providing a quick lick on the hand.

Dr. James Webb Specializes in Helping Complex Back Pain O

steoporosis can be as deadly as heart disease. In the 1980s, the disease was naturally considered a normal process of aging. As medicine evolved, it became evident that Osteoporosis was connected to fractures. Today, medicine shows that not everyone with Osteoporosis has low bone density and people can have ‘fragility fractures’ as a result of the disease’s progression.

“There are thousands of doctors who do kyphoplasty in the U.S. and very few actually treat the underlying osteoporosis. As an interventional musculoskeletal radiologist, there are very few of us who actually focus on treating osteoporosis and not just fixing fractures. I was the first in Oklahoma to have a free standing clinic focused on treating osteoporosis, not just the fractures with kyphoplasty, but medically treating the underlying osteoporosis.

There are probably less than 20 doctors around the country that I know that do this to the high degree that we do,” explained Dr. Webb.

Though the majority of

Above: Dr. James Webb.

Osteoporosis patients are over 60, he has treated patients as young as 18, and many in their 30s. He is helping drive research for vertebral fractures.

Dr. Webb is offering free bone density scans to qualified patients to improve access to care as well as raise awareness of the disease.

“I really wanted to offer free screening to all patients who needed it--to raise awareness of bone health and to give back to this community that has been so supportive of us.”

“Most people hear the word ‘osteoporosis’ and they think of a ninety-year-old grandmother with a hip fracture.

Unfortunately, problems with bone health can impact younger patients and it also affects men.” Webb said.

“Like heart disease or a stroke,

VALUE NEWS OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE JULY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

people think it can’t happen to them until it’s too late. Fractures from bad bone health are a common cause of misdiagnosed back pain. If you’re concerned about your bone health, or you have back pain that no one has been able to help, give us a call.”

Interested participants should call the Dr. James Webb & Associates office at 918-260-9322 for a prescreening. Priority will be given to those who have fallen and broken a bone, have a family history of osteoporosis, or take certain medications proven to reduce bone density. Pre-screening is needed to make sure that the test is medically indicated as well as to avoid regulatory hurdles.

“I really wanted to offer free screening to all patients who needed it--to raise awareness of bone health and to give back to this community that has been so supportive of us,” Webb says. “Unfortunately, government and insurance regulations actually won’t allow us to do that, so our focus is really for uninsured patients who need bone density testing”

Osteoporosis occurs when the body’s bones become weak from low bone density, low bone quality, or both.

As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from something as slight as sneezing or minor bumps. Most often, osteoporosis is a silent killer until a fracture occurs.

“There is hope for slowing down and even reversing the effects of bad bone health,” said Webb.

“The key is to catch it as early as possible and then treat it medically to reduce the risk of future fractures.”

Osteoporosis is often underdiagnosed. At least once a month he sees a patient who has been told they don’t have osteoporosis when in fact they do have the disease.

One of the ways doctors screen is by using a DEXA bone density scan.

This test does two things: Screens for risk in asymptomatic people; and

helps determine if a person’s bone density is low enough to be put on medication. Screening is good if you have a family history or any concern about Osteoporosis.

Essentially, a bone density scan compares bone density to the bones of an average healthy young adult.

The test results can help determine if you have osteoporosis, are at risk for it, and can be used to determine the overall risk for having a fracture.

“Advanced CT scans and X-ray’s can miss half the fractures; and two-thirds of the unfound vertebral fractures heal before they receive medical treatment,” explained Dr. Webb. “A physical exam is the most technical way to detect a fracture. We treat the patient and not the imaging because we know that many fractures are painful for weeks before we can detect the collapse on imaging.” He specializes in innovative less invasive treatments to treat Osteoporosis and fractures before they become severe.

He uses a variety of treatments including kyphoplasty, steroid injections, ablations and other pain-relieving procedures.

Left image: MRI showing acute fracture with fluid cleft. Middle image: picture during kyphoplasty with balloon in the fracture cleft.

Right image: Bone glue filling the fracture cleft during kyphoplasty. A typical CT report would eyeball estimate this as 20 percent height loss. Genant Six-Point Semi-Quantitative Analysis (SPSQA) measurements show between 45-55% height loss. (17mm compared to 31mm posterior wall height).

Dr. Webb – Kyphoplasty Expert in back pain relief, treating old and new injuries...focuses on finding the underlying cause of back pain in patients and providing targeted, minimally invasive treatment.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that quickly repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCF) and restores structural integrity to broken vertebral bone. It is an outpatient procedure that uses a cavity creation device (usually a balloon) to create a space in the broken vertebra which is then filled with a special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain. Dr. Webb is one of the most experienced physicians in the United States and has performed thousands of these procedures.

Left: Bone densitometry, also called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, DEXA or DXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower (or lumbar) spine and hips) to measure bone loss. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis, to assess an individual’s risk for developing osteoporotic fractures. DXA is simple, quick and noninvasive. It’s also the most commonly used and the most standard method for diagnosing osteoporosis.

For over one and half years, Dwain suffered from severe chest and shoulder pain. He had been an athlete most of his life and lived the rough and tumble lifestyle that most athletes endure.

“I felt like I was having a heart attack all of the time and was experiencing great pain between my shoulder blades,” he explains, “my doctor ran tests and determined that I have always had a very healthy heart and my heart health was not causing my pain.” Following further examination, his doctor diagnosed him with osteoporosis and one broken vertebra.

The disease is responsible for an estimated 2 million broken bones per year, yet nearly 80 percent of older Americans who suffer bone breaks are not tested or treated for osteoporosis.

One in two women and up to one in four men over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.

People with osteoporosis can break a bone from a minor fall, or in serious cases, even from simple actions like sneezing or bumping into furniture.

Osteoporosis is serious, even deadly.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), all chimneys should be cleaned at least once every year. Keeping your chimney clean helps prevent home fires—it’s as simple as that. When you burn a fire in your fireplace, two things happen: Chimney soot builds up, as well as creosote, which is a heavy, thick, oily residue similar to tar that’s a byproduct of burning wood. While soot is more easily removable, creosote sticks to the chimney lining, which can be dangerous because it’s extremely flammable.

the value of

Laughter

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

A

dults do this about 17 times per day. Children do it a whopping 300 times or more per day.

What is it that children are doing that is outperforming adults so much more inexhaustibly? Laughing.

It’s true, actual research takes place on the frequency and value of laughter.

There is even an organization that studies the effects of laughter titled the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor. In an article titled, “Do Children Laugh Much More Often than Adults Do?” by Rod A. Martin at https://aath.memberclicks.net/ do-children-laugh-much-more-oftenthan-adults-do, the writer uncovers adult patterns of behavior that folks will laugh at themselves much more often than at others. It seems when speakers dialogue, they follow what they have said – never in the middle of what they are saying – with a bout of laughter. In contrast, listeners often laugh while their partner in conversation is still speaking.

It was also uncovered the frequency of laughter does not change when adults are talking with a stranger or a close

friend. Surprisingly, it scores the same.

Here’s another interesting fact; the provocation that spurred the laughter changes with age. Children laugh more in response to nonverbals such as silly movements or funny face making.

Older children laugh more due to verbal humor such as jokes or funny stories.

Across the age groups, the laughter response was triggered more often in behavior that was intentionally trying to evoke the laughter response. Data also indicated that children would laugh at their own behaviors that were meant to be taken as funny than at others’ funny behaviors. This appears to be a signal sent to let others know it is OK to laugh that the funny actions were intentional.

So that’s the innate laughing behavior, but what about the health benefits of the activity. The Healthy Lifestyles Stress Management web page by Mayo Clinic Staff states the short-term benefits of laughter. When laughing, people suck in air which has a positive effect on the heart, lungs, muscles and even increases the endorphins in the brain.

Likewise, it can affect stress responses

VALUE NEWS OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE JULY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

that ultimately decreases heart rate and blood pressure. It also stimulates circulation, which helps muscles to relax. So, the good book is right. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” Proverbs 17:22.

Similarly, long-term effects are impacted. While individuals mull over their troubles, it triggers chemicals that negatively affect the immune system making them more susceptible to illness and disease. When individuals think on positive thoughts, however, it can activate a group of compounds that act as neurotransmitters that fight stress and life-threatening diseases. More so, laughter can release natural painkillers.

It can also improve someone’s overall outlook by lightening their mood and shift their frame of mind to more positive thoughts according to the Mayo Clinic’s website found at https://www. mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stressmanagement/in-depth/stress-relief/art20044456.

Since there are so many physical and mental health benefits that are derived from laughing, why not develop that sense of humor? Being intentional about increasing the laughter in life can be done. Here are a few tips to get that started: • Read comic strips.

• Read a humorous book.

• Watch a funny movie or TV series. If that is a rerun experience, not a problem. The laughter is triggered anyway.

• Watch a comedian on DVD or online.

• Visit a comedy club.

Ever hear of laughter yoga? Don’t laugh (pun intended). It’s a thing.

People attend a laughter group or class, and it starts with a forced laughter.

But, sure enough, once surrounded by people in stitches, these students just can’t help it; they get tickled at each other and suddenly the belly laughs are real and often uncontrollable.

Laughter Yoga International on the Laughter Yoga University website at https://laughteryoga.org/ has many laughter resources that will put a smile

on anyone’s face. Yoga breathing practices known as Pranayama are combined with laughter exercises. It turns out there are over 20,000 social laughter clubs in 110 countries.

There is a free online laughter club with Zoom sessions held several times per week at https://laughteryoga.org/ zoom-laughter-club/. And to top that, there is even a Bollywood Laughter Yoga Dance as a fitness program.

Laughter Yoga is a popular activity in senior care facilities. Burgundy Place Program Coordinator Sonya Pratt subscribes to the benefits of laughter yoga and involves elderly residents. It’s a crackup to watch.

“Somewhere along the way, many of us abandoned our playful, childlike nature in favor of adult responsibilities,” Pratt said. “Did someone make a rule that adults can’t be silly anymore? Some people are very hesitant to try laughter yoga, but genuine laughter is contagious and even the skeptics wind up laughing and having a good time. I was so proud of the residents for trying something so unconventional and, frankly, silly.”

Pratt was treated to a sample session and immediately knew that it was a perfect activity for the seniors in her community. She is tickled to know that laughter truly is the best medicine and that the heart rate increase caused by one minute of continuous, hearty laughter can take up to 10 minutes to achieve on exercise equipment.

“I love getting to share this experience with seniors,” Pratt said. “You haven’t lived until you have done Laughter Yoga with a 100-year old!”

There is one line of work that their job is to get the hysterics going, the comedian. One Tulsa-based comic performs at local comedy clubs and churches. KXOJ Afternoon DJ and Production Director for Stephens Media and stand-up comedian Gary Thompson takes his jokes seriously, and it all started when he was just a toddler.

“The callings of God are irrevocable,” Thompson said. “I’ve felt this since I was two. My mother says I was obsessed with comedians from that age. She came

into the TV room when I was 2, and I was watching a comic. I said ‘They’re laughing at him.’ She said ‘Yes. That’s his job. To make them laugh.’ She says I said, ‘I want to be a comedian.’”

Following that dream, Thompson feels every routine is an honor and their reaction means the world to him. He says the laughter means he is seen, has been heard and that he matters. He relies on the audience’s feedback to keep him going. After the show, he hears comments like how they came to the performance with a heavy burden they just needed to forget even if only for the night and that he helped them to do that. Those words to him are priceless.

There is a difference in Thompson that sets him apart from all the others, his material is clean as a whistle.

“If you work clean, you work anywhere,” Thompson said.

“And it takes more skill to be clean AND funny. It bolsters my self-respect to be funnier than a dirty comic who goes for the easy laugh.”

Broken Arrow’s Annual Taste of Summer Ice Cream Festival!

It’s a Chill-abration!

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

VALUE NEWS OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE JULY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

uly 2021: Summertime in Broken Arrow is truly sweet, and especially when one can spend a day eating endless amounts of ice cream while making lifelong memories with family and friends. It’s time for the Annual Taste of Summer Ice Cream Festival!

This refreshing event will take place at The Central Park Community Center, on July 24, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Guests can expect all of the usual favorites, including all-you-can-eat ice cream, fantastic local live entertainment, activities for the kids, food trucks, vendors and new this year, a Get Active Zone, sponsored by Camp Gladiator! This ever-popular festival is hosted by the Broken Arrow Chamber, in partnership with Blue Bell Creameries, 1 800 Water Damage, and the City of Broken Arrow. Tickets are $5 each in advance online, $7 at the gate, ages 2 and under are free.

Pre-purchase of tickets online are encouraged and will provide faster entry into the festival.

The festival originated as a “thank you” for the community’s support from Blue Bell Creameries, and is still a big part of summer for Broken Arrow, with the Chamber’s help. “This is a Blue Bell driven event, and it is their passion to give back to this community,” said Amber Hinkle, Broken Arrow Chamber Event Manager. “They know how much the Broken Arrow community supports them and they donate all of the ice cream for this absolutely amazing fun, family event.” Many of the volunteers for the event are employees of Blue Bell as well.

Pics with Police will give everyone an opportunity to mingle with the Broken Arrow PD, and view the new police cars that will be on display.

“You might catch one of the officers and get a quick selfie with them!”

Amber said.

Taste of Summer is one of many festivals in Broken Arrow, enriching the lives of the citizens that live there, and encouraging people from all over to visit. There is something for everyone. “The Broken Arrow Chamber is really event heavy, as we do so many different events,” Amber said. “All of our work is

charged with the overall quality of life of our citizens.” Increased traffic means more for business and economical development. “It’s so important to have these types of events to promote a robust city and community, and it really gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling to see people making lifelong memories.”

Today’s Science: Solutions for Back Pain What is Kyphoplasty?

Does it Relieve Chronic Back Pain?

Why are Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) important?

A vertebral compression fracture is often the first sign of osteoporosis, but they are usually missed by imaging. For example, 86% of VCFs are missed on advanced CT. VCFs are also associated with high rates of death if left untreated. A recent analysis of the entire Medicare data set showed that for patients with a VCF, only 15% will survive 10 years. However, the same analysis showed that kyphoplasty more than doubles the survival rate of these patients.

What is Kyphoplasty?

• • • •

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that quickly repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCF) and restores structural integrity to broken vertebral bone. Kyphoplasty is an outpatient procedure that uses a cavity creation device (usually a balloon) to create a space in the broken vertebra which is then filled with a special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain.

How does Kyphoplasty help?

The goal of kyphoplasty is to restore the broken vertebra to a more normal height and to fix the pain caused by the fracture. When a vertebral fracture occurs, it most commonly presents as an acute worsening of chronic lower back pain. Many times the patient’s chronic back pain is getting worse, but it’s actually due to a recent fracture. Many of our patients experience immediate pain relief following kyphoplasty. It can help relieve pain by stabilizing the fracture. Improved mobility results because of decreased pain levels.

What happens during the Kyphoplasty procedure?

•

• Needle Placement - Under IV sedation and using x-ray guidance, a

pencil-sized needle is placed through a small (quarter-inch) incision and a working channel is made in the fractured vertebral body.

Cavity Created – A balloon is generally used to create a space and to reduce the fracture to more anatomic alignment.

Devices Removed – The balloon is deflated, leaving a cavity in the vertebral body.

Fracture Stabilized – The cavity is filled with bone cement to stabilize the fracture. Once filled, the incision is closed.

End of Procedure – With the process completed, an internal cast is now in place. This stabilizes the vertebral body and provides rapid mobility and pain relief.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and has a short recovery time, usually a couple of days for most patients.

After Kyphoplasty

Patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty have significantly better outcomes in terms of pain reduction, quality of life, function and mobility both initially at one month, and throughout the months and years after treatment. 94% have complete or significant pain reduction and 67% have improved mobility. While kyphoplasty is highly effective for improving mobility and decreasing pain in patients with spinal fractures, it does not treat the underlying osteoporosis itself.

It’s important for your doctor to treat the underlying bone disease (osteoporosis) causing the fractures. This decreases the risk of future fractures and generally makes spinal fractures less frequent.

Kyphoplasty vs. Vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are both medical procedures designed to treat pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. The main difference is vertebroplasty does not create a cavity and there is higher likelihood of cement leakage. Kyphoplasty has a significantly lower complication rate compared to verteboplasty and more than doubles the 10-year survival rate in patients over 65.

Dr. Webb – Kyphoplasty Expert When it comes to kyphoplasty, Dr. Webb is one of the most experienced physicians in the US. Dr. Webb has performed thousands of kyphoplasty procedures and has the experience necessary to safely perform kyphoplasty. In fact, he also teaches other physicians how to safely and effectively perform the procedure. Here are a few facts about Dr. Webb’s kyphoplasty expertise: • He performed over 120 kyphoplasties during his training (fellowship).

• Was one of the first physicians to perform kyphoplasty in Oklahoma.

• Was a principal investigator in the EVOLVE trial,

• The highest level of experience in the Tulsa area with 300-400 fractures treated per year.

• Continues efforts to refine vertebral fracture treatment, consulting for numerous medical device companies and teaching other physicians how to perform this life-saving procedure.
