Learn how these Houston doctors are turning on healing powers within patients and helping relieve pain

HOUSTON – At NexGenEsis in Houston, Texas, doctors help their patients find relief from pain by essentially activating the body’s own healing power through regenerative medicine.

For Dorian Castro, this meant he was able to take his life back.

Suffering lower back and nerve pain, Castro felt he was in a catch-22 situation. The pain meant he could not do much, but the medication he was on to ease the pain left him foggy-headed and unable to do much for a whole other set of reasons.

Watching television one day, Castro learned about the innovative therapies offered at NexGenEsis Healthcare.

At NexGenEsis doctors utilize the healing power of patients’ own biologics to optimize the body’s self-healing processes.

“Here at NexGenEsis, we like to offer patients a different type, or alternative treatments, for pain relief. A lot of times, they are told that they can only undergo surgery or take medications to help with their pain. And we offer alternative treatments that really help improve their quality of life,” Dr. Abhishek Reddy told Houston Life.

Dr. Reddy explained that traditional standard treatment will involve some form of physical therapy, oral medications, or topical injections including steroids. “And then if those don’t work, patients are typically referred to, have surgery,” he said.

Healing a patient using their own biologics is a process that takes a patient’s healthy cells, “their growth factors or molecules. We concentrate them down, and then we can re-introduce them into the affected area to promote a healing environment.,” said Dr. Reddy.

It is an innovative therapy that has helped lower Castro’s pain from a debilitating nine out of ten to just a two out of ten.

Most days, Castro feels no pain at all.

“I wish I had started earlier. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. But it’s just a matter of knowing that this exists. You know, this. This treatment exists. It’s out there for you,” Castro told Houston Life..

NexGenEsis Healthcare has an offer for Houston LIfe viewers. The first 50 callers who mention Houston Life get a free phone consultation with a provider to determine eligibility for an in-office examination. Call 832-570-4529. You can find out more online at nexgenesishealthcare.com.
