Pain Relief
Santa Barbara Pain Relief
We often think of pain occurring due to damaged tissues, joints, muscles, etc. For acute injuries this is often the case. How many times have you been told that acute inflammation is bad? That icing and anti-inflammatory medications are all that’s needed to help you recover? Acute inflammation is actually your body’s attempt to heal. It is necessary to restore full function. At RHMC we work with your body to facilitate advanced healing and accelerate recovery.
Whether you are an athlete looking to get back to the field, a busy mom taking care of your family or looking to get back to full function with minimal down time, accelerated healing and natural pain relief are possible.
Take the survey to see if you qualify for non-surgical pain relief:
RHMC works to heal your injuries
This pain may have an orthopedic or musculoskeletal component, but the fact that it persists is what is key, i.e. the body isn’t able to heal on it’s own. Not only does the damaged area need to be addressed, but also the causes of the inflammation, degeneration and continual pain itself.
We work with your whole body to restore function, decrease inflammation and other triggers of chronic pain.

Regenerative Medicine Program
At RHMC we are committed to achieving the best results with our patients. Through our Regenerative Medicine Program, we ensure that the injections themselves are able to do what they do best, which is to kickstart the healing process in the effected area, thereby facilitating increased function and decreasing pain. The injection is not what does the healing, instead it is the ability of an individual’s body to respond to and heal the area in which we are injecting. We prepare the body for the procedures by activating the immune system, supporting the processes of tissue repair, charging the body’s battery and creating an optimal healing regimen.
Over the years Dr. ACE has worked with many doctors, and has seen Regenerative Medicine be both incredibly effective, as well as ineffective. She started to investigate why some patients responded well and received not only pain relief but also increased function, whereas others responded with only mild results. Since Regenerative Medicine is the catalyst that activates the body’s capacity to heal an injury, damaged tissue or instability, Dr. ACE realized that supporting the body’s physiology and capacity to self-heal was the key. We do this via our proprietary program that combines Anti-inflammatory Nutrition, Hormone Optimization, IV Nutrient Therapy and Guided Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) to maximize the regenerative healing and pain relief your body is naturally capable of.
