LAc Avila, Aaron published January 24th , 2024 Innovative Resiliency with LifeWave Patches At Darien's Resilient Acupuncture & Mobility Clinic, we're proud to introduce the LifeWave patches, a significant advancement in non-invasive health treatments using phototherapy. This innovative technology is designed to reflect or emit specific wavelengths of light, elevating levels of the copper peptide GHK-Cu in the body, known for various health benefits like stem cell activation and improved well-being. This blog will explore how X39, X49, and Aeon patches can help you! My Experience Anyone who knows me often wonders how I get so much done—a little bit myself. I am a small business owner for the Resilient Acupuncture & Mobility clinic, president of the non-profit start-up Holistic Warrior WHGY6, and a full-time Chiropractic student. A typical day for me starts at 4:45 am and ends at 8:30 pm. No matter what, I still allot time for an exercise routine and eat healthy. Afterall, as a practitioner, I am to lead by example. I am passionate about what I do, and LifeWave patches have allotted me ample energy and focus to remain healthy. I have dealt with insomnia and stress since my time in the military, and all my energy has been invested since leaving the service to find alternative solutions that work over medications. Since starting LifeWave patches, I get better sleep, feel more balanced, and accomplish much with my day. It’s a true game-changer, but of course, this is anecdotal. I have taken the time to research and explain below how LiveWave patches can change your life! Non-Transdermal, Safe, and Effective: The non-transdermal nature of the LiveWave patches ensure safety and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of users. It works without direct skin contact or entering the body. Study Findings X39 patch: Connor et al. (2021) demonstrated the profound impact of the X39 patch. Over seven days, wearing the patch for 8-12 hours per day led to significant improvements in several areas: Increased Amino Acids: There was a notable increase in eight amino acids, indicating enhanced metabolic balance and overall gut health. Memory Enhancement: The patch significantly improved short-term memory, as measured by the WAIS-III memory test. Improved Sleep Quality: Participants experienced significant improvements in sleep quality within 24 hours. Boosted Vitality: A near-significant increase in self-reported vitality was observed over seven days. Benefits of X39: Patients report enhanced energy, better sleep quality, and efficient pain relief from using the X39 patch, supporting various healing processes in the body. Study Findings X49 patch: A research study (Connor, 2021) on the LifeWave X49 Patch focused on its effects on bone and muscle health in women aged 40 to 80. The study's significant findings include: A notable change in AHK-Cu and NTx levels, indicating a decrease in osteoclast activity and, thus, a reduction in bone breakdown. Observations of significant decreases in specific biomarkers suggest the potential of the X49 Patch to decrease bone breakdown during the bone repair cycle. Reports of 14 amino acids show significant production level changes over 60 days, impacting various pathways. Benefits of X49: These findings suggest that the X49 Patch could benefit individuals with musculoskeletal issues or those seeking to improve physical fitness by potentially strengthening bones and muscles. Study Findings Aeon patch: The research on the Aeon Patch conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled heart rate variability investigation. The study involved 50 well-hydrated volunteers (21 females and 29 males) who wore the Aeon Patch under various conditions(Nazeran, 2015). The key findings included: Early Response: Around 60% of the subjects (30 participants) achieved a relaxed state after wearing the Aeon Patch for as little as 20 minutes, indicating a rapid onset of stress reduction. Significant Changes in HRV: The study observed a significant decrease in the normalized LF/HF (low frequency/high frequency) ratio, a marker of stress, by 24% ± 9% in 20 minutes among responders, with a p-value < 0.047. Reduction in Stress: The results supported the hypothesis that wearing the Aeon Patch for 20 minutes reduces stress, as indicated by changes in heart rate variability. Benefits of Aeon These findings suggest the Aeon Patch is effective in promoting a parasympathetic (relaxation) response, beneficial for those experiencing high stress or anxiety. Conclusion At Resilient Acupuncture & Mobility Clinic, we're dedicated to offering the most effective treatments, but full disclosure, we will never endorse products we do not use ourselves nor have experience with. The LifeWave patches represents a leap forward in holistic health care, offering a convenient, non-invasive, and innovative approach to wellness.

Introduction At Darien's Resilient Acupuncture & Mobility, we are dedicated to merging advanced therapeutic technologies with traditional healing methods. We employ innovative tools such as the Hyperice HyperVolt 2, a fascial tissue percussion gun. Combined with acupuncture, the HyperVolt 2 can be used as a screening tool to find trigger points and provides aftercare for acupuncture, as the percussion on the skin triggers mechanoreceptors that release biochemical markers that aid with recovery and healing via proprioception. Understanding Proprioception and Low Back Pain in the Elderly Proprioception, the body's ability to perceive its position and movement, is crucial for maintaining balance and preventing falls, especially in the elderly. Often, impaired proprioception is a significant contributor to geriatric low back pain, leading to increased risks of injury and reduced quality of life. Addressing these proprioceptive deficits is a fundamental aspect of our treatment strategy. The Role of Proprioception in Postural Control and Pain Management Proprioception plays a vital role in ensuring accurate movement and postural control. It relies on signals from proprioceptors in the skin, muscles, tendons, and joints. The muscle spindle, a key proprioceptor, becomes active during muscle contraction, transmitting essential proprioceptive information to the brain. This mechanism is critical for motor control and integral to managing chronic musculoskeletal pain. Impact of Diminished Proprioception in Elderly with LBP In the elderly, reduced proprioceptive ability, often exacerbated by sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), significantly strains the lumbar spine. This strain contributes to the decreased postural balance control in older patients with LBP. Therefore, accurate assessment and treatment of proprioceptive function are vital in effectively managing LBP in this demographic. Hyperice Fascial Gun: A Tool for Enhancing Proprioception The HyperVolt 2 is a critical component of our treatment regimen. It provides targeted vibrational therapy that stimulates proprioceptors in the lumbar region, thereby enhancing proprioceptive feedback and aiding in managing LBP. This approach aligns with research findings (Sakai et. al, 2022), highlighting the significance of proprioceptive training in treating locomotor diseases. Clinical Application and Patient Outcomes Our clinical experience has significantly improved proprioception and LBP relief in elderly patients using HyperVolt 2. Combined with acupuncture and fascial work, this technology offers a holistic treatment approach, addressing proprioceptive deficits and the associated pain. Conclusion: A Forward-Thinking Approach to Geriatric LBP Treatment At Resilient Acupuncture & Mobility, we are committed to pioneering effective treatments for geriatric low back pain. Our focus on enhancing proprioception aims to improve balance, alleviate pain, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for our elderly patients References Sakai, Y., Watanabe, T., Wakao, N., Matsui, H., Osada, N., Sugiura, T., Morita, Y., Kawai, K., Ito, T., & Yamazaki, K.

Introduction to VivoBarefoot and Barefoot Shoes: Welcome to a world where footwear isn’t just about fashion, but about fundamental health and mobility. VivoBarefoot, a pioneer in the barefoot shoe movement, designs shoes that are not only stylish but also engineered to mimic the natural movement of the foot. But why does this matter? Let's delve into the science behind barefoot benefits. The Anatomy and Importance of the Foot: Our feet are marvels of engineering. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This complex structure is designed for balance, support, and mobility. Traditional footwear often neglects this intricacy, confining our feet and hindering their natural function. VivoBarefoot shoes honor this complexity, allowing your feet to move as nature intended. Incorporating a Study on the Benefits of Barefoot Walking: A significant study published in the Journal of Gait & Posture ( DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2015.05.019 ) highlighted the benefits of walking barefoot. Researchers found that individuals who regularly walked barefoot or in barefoot-like shoes exhibited enhanced foot mechanics, stronger foot muscles, and improved balance compared to those who wore traditional shoes. This study underscores the health benefits of footwear that allows for natural foot movement, much like VivoBarefoot shoes. Ankle Dorsiflexion Explained: Ankle dorsiflexion, the movement of lifting the foot towards the shin, is crucial for walking and running. Limited dorsiflexion can lead to various issues, from altered walking patterns to increased risk of falls. VivoBarefoot’s design supports healthy dorsiflexion, aligning with the findings of the study published in the Journal of Gait & Posture. Impact of Foot Health on Aging: As we age, maintaining foot health becomes vital. Poor foot mechanics can lead to decreased balance and mobility issues. The study in the Journal of Gait & Posture highlights how barefoot walking can counter these age-related problems, making a compelling case for incorporating barefoot shoes like VivoBarefoot into our routines. The Benefits of VivoBarefoot Shoes: VivoBarefoot shoes offer comfort and a foundation for improved posture and natural gait. Users often report benefits such as reduced foot pain and enhanced mobility. These shoes encourage strengthening of foot muscles, aligning with the study’s findings on the benefits of barefoot walking. My experience As someone who has dealt with various injuries, I can speak to how Vivobarefoot has allowed me to understand the importance of proper footwear. During my time in the service, having to wear boots at all times, resulted in displacement of alignment in all joints. As a result of that, I conditioned my body to be more susceptible to dull and aching pain from ankle to neck, preventable if I had allowed myself to walk barefoot outside of service. The body is amazing machine, and it adapts to what one conditions it to do. For me, it was lost range of motion, my body compensated having to wear high-level platformed military boots. In present day, I walk barefooted or wear my "Vivos" in physical activity. It has made all the difference! Practical Tips for Foot Health: To support your foot health: Engage in exercises to improve ankle dorsiflexion and foot strength. Walk barefoot or in barefoot shoes to promote natural foot mechanics. Choose footwear with flexibility, a wide toe box, and minimal heel elevation, like VivoBarefoot shoes. Conclusion and Call to Action: Your feet are the foundation of your mobility. Understanding the importance of foot health and making informed choices about footwear, like opting for VivoBarefoot shoes, can lead to a healthier, more active life. Embrace the science-backed benefits of barefoot walking, as reported in the Journal of Gait & Posture, and take a step towards improved foot health today.
