INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA (PRWEB) JUNE 03, 2017

American Health Network today announced that Dr. Brian Badman is the first and only shoulder surgeon in Indiana to treat patients suffering from rotator cuff disease using the Rotation Medical Bioinductive Implant – a new technology that helps tendons heal through the induction of new tissue growth, potentially helping patients resume normal activities quicker than traditional treatment and reducing the likelihood of further degeneration or re-tears.

The minimally invasive system is designed as a new option for people suffering from rotator cuff tendon tears in the shoulder joint, which affect more than 4 million people annually in the U.S. and are the most common source of shoulder pain and disability.

“Rotator cuff injury is common, and many patients avoid surgery because they hear about painful, lengthy postoperative rehabilitation and time away from work,” said Dr. Brian Badman. “The Rotation Medical Bioinductive Implant, which is about the size of a postage stamp, is inserted through a small incision during a minimally invasive arthroscopic outpatient procedure. The Bioinductive Implant induces the formation of new tendinous tissue over the surface of the tendon, resulting in a thicker tendon. Depending on their stage of rotator cuff disease, the Bioinductive Implant can provide patients a range of potential benefits, including shorter rehabilitation, faster recovery, prevention or slowing of disease progression, healing of partial-thickness tears, and decreased risk of developing a subsequent tear.” Several prominent orthopedic shoulder surgeons across the country have helped pioneer this technology including Dr. Jeff Abrams at Princeton and Dr. Buddy Savoie at Tulane University.

Rotator cuff tears are most often caused by chronic wear and tear with degeneration of the tendon. Rotator cuff tears can also occur in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports. In fact, more than 50 percent of people over age 60 have symptoms related to rotator cuff partial to full tearing of the tendon. Because traditional treatments do not address the poor quality of the underlying tendon tissue, a significant number of these tendons often develop into larger, more painful and debilitating tears and/or re-tears due to continuing degeneration of the torn tendon. The Bioinductive Implant allows surgeons to intervene early and potentially prevent disease progression by augmenting and healing the tendon before the injury worsens.

The Bioinductive Implant, manufactured by Rotation Medical, is suitable for most rotator cuff disease, from small partial-thickness tears to massive full-thickness tears. The Bioinductive Implant is derived from bovine Achilles tendon and gradually absorbs within six months, leaving a layer of new tendon-like tissue to biologically augment the existing tendon. This treatment can be used for both previously treated and untreated patients. Introduced to the market in 2014, the technology has been used in thousands of rotator cuff procedures in the U.S.

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Oska Wellness, a technology company committed to developing innovated consumer health and wellness products, is partnering with MyTPI to promote Oska Pulse, a breakthrough wearable electromagnetic field device that eases pain. MyTPI has the largest collection of golf-specific health, fitness and swing advice on the Internet.

“We’re excited to be working with MyTPI, sharing our mission for new ways to provide non-invasive, drug free pain management solutions,” said Greg Houlgate, CEO of Oska Wellness.  “We’ve heard from many golfers who have had to cut back on playing due to pain. But thanks to the use of Oska Pulse, golfers can play one more round, pain free. Oska Pulse is a smart, safe, easy-to-use, wearable health technology product designed to help reduce muscle stiffness, temporarily relieve minor pain, and increase mobility for people who have acute or chronic pain.”

During the PGA Merchandise Show in January, Oska Wellness unveiled the Oska Pulse — a small, portable, hands-free device that employs safe Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapeutic technology, a longtime therapy used by medical practitioners to help people enjoy more active, pain-free and drug-free lives.  Subsequently, Oska Pulse was named “best in show” by several leading golf publications, including Golf Digest.

“I’ve used Oska Pulse and got great results with mobility and pain relief from this device,” said David Phillips, co-founder of TPI.  “Our partnership with Oska Wellness will allow us be able to promote Oska Pulse to our leadership team, our affiliates, and our athletes. I’m a total believer in this product and I look forward to recommending it to our community.”

Use Oska Pulse on your way to the course.”  Developed by the experts at the Titleist Performance Institute, MyTPI.com delivers advanced golf-specific information from experts on six continents and 62 countries.
