Discover Optimal Healthcare offers patients alternative to surgery
BROOKHAVEN >> Slightly under two years ago, Dr. Jason Weigner, DC, opened Discover Optimal Healthcare at 3605 Edgemont Ave. to offer patients an alternative to the common separate health care system that, he said, is often extremely costly and ineffective.
Rather than expecting patients to manage their own care and go from facility to facility to visit a medical doctor, a chiropractor, a physical therapist and other health care professionals, all while treating the same injury or condition, Discover Optimal Healthcare offers all of the professionals under one roof for the patient’s welfare, convenience and to coordinate their entire care as a team. Weigner said that each health care professional is a vital part of the integrated health care team that works together to get a patient out of pain quickly and permanently, without resorting to surgery and other invasive methods.
Weigner’s state-of-the-art facility has more than 4,000 square feet of clinical office space and some of the most modern rehabilitation and diagnostic equipment. Services there include chiropractic care, regenerative and physical medicine, rehabilitation services, medical weight loss, anti-aging services, massage and acupuncture. Discover Optimal Healthcare treats a patient with individualized support in four progressive stages by relieving their pain, correcting the pain’s cause, strengthening the patient’s body and maintaining their wellness.
Discover Optimal Healthcare has a multi-specialized staff of 18, including Dr. Jason Weigner, DC; Dr. Mary Kashurba, MD; Barry Greenfield and Aubrey Brumanti, physician’s assistants; Dr. Anthony Odell, DC; and Dr. Greg Parsons, DC.
According to Weigner, Discover Optimal Healthcare offers non-invasive yet aggressive treatment plans to restore and enhance physical functions and quality of life for all patients. The facility specializes in treating a wide variety of spinal and joint conditions including neck and back pain, headaches, knee and hip pain, sciatica and scoliosis, sports, auto and work injuries, neuropathy, whiplash, Fibromyalgia and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Discover Optimal Healthcare also offers a medical weight-loss program, hair restoration treatments and an anti-aging med spa with Botox and fillers.
“Traditional medicine alone cannot compare with the combined knowledge, specialization and care offered by a team of doctors and medical professionals who collaborate and work together in physical and regenerative medicine,” Weigner explained. “We can get patients back to a pain-free life sooner and keep them healthier longer by fixing their underlying problems so they can start living fully again, rather than just treating their symptom.”
As a pioneer in a new, cuttingedge treatment option, Weigner recently introduced stem cell therapy to his patients.
“This new therapy option treats arthritis, nagging joint pain, neuropathy, back and neck pain, cartilage and muscle issues and a host of other conditions, repairing and regenerating joints all without the need for painful, invasive surgery,” Weigner said excitedly. “After even one stem cell treatment, many of our patients experience noticeable relief from the pain that had kept them from living their best life.”
Weigner said stem cell therapy has about a 75 to 85 percent success rate if a patient is a candidate for this type of treatment.
“The patients who have success with stem cell therapy love the fact that they regain their lives and get out of pain quickly without the risks of invasive surgery and the complications, anesthesia and intensive rehabilitation that come with going the traditional surgical route,” Weigner explained.
Weigner said that stem cell regeneration therapy utilizes adult stem cells that are derived from fat and bone marrow harvested along with cryo-preserved umbilical cord stem cells as an additional option for some individuals. This is a noncontroversial and non-harmful way to unleash the power of stem cells and gain additional growth factors, he said.
According to an explanation on Weigner’s website, “Human body cells are constantly going through a regenerative and degenerative process. The regenerative cells are derived from stem cells. Stem cells possess the ability to duplicate into other cells. This means that if you have structural or degenerative damage in your knee, stem cells introduced to the area will join with the other knee cells to regenerate or rebuild the damaged area. These cells will streamline the healing process and help patients recover rapidly from serious injuries, without going under the knife. Stem cell therapy is a minimal pain (only the prick of a needle) and completely non-invasive alternative to regular surgery. Stem cell injections are placed in the area of need, using arthroscopic and ultrasound guided monitoring procedures to ensure that stem cells reach the area most in need of regeneration. Simple shots can begin to rebuild the area and return normal function, mobility and comfort levels to the patient.”
Weigner said he believes that stem cell therapy is “the future of medicine” and can help cure everything from plantar fasciitis to deteriorating joints and can even stimulate hair growth. To answer questions and spread the word about stem cell therapy, Weigner offers free community education workshops. He advertises the events on the Discover Optimal Healthcare Facebook page, as well as in local newspapers.
Discover Optimal Healthcare, the winner of “Best of Delco” awards for three consecutive years, offers free consultations for any condition. Weigner said if his facility cannot help certain patients for various reasons, the team will immediately refer them somewhere else to get the help that they need. The staff at Discover Optimal Healthcare is warm and friendly, he said, and prides itself on treating everyone like family.
“We have at over 40 different fivestar reviews and testimonials on our website,” Weigner said proudly. “We treat everyone with respect and compassion, with the same care and motivation to helping them as if they were our family. Our patients tell me again and again what a great team we have here.”
Weigner says that he can’t help but be enthusiastic over how many patients he has helped with the newest breakthroughs in stem cell therapy.
“At Discover Optimal Healthcare, we are pleased to bring hope to the hopeless by offering all of our patients an opportunity to take advantage of, what I think, is the most significant medical breakthrough in natural medicine in this decade,” Weigner stated. “There’s nothing better than helping patients with this new, alternative therapy to rediscover a life free of pain.”
