Dr. Chad P. Edwards, D.O. is the owner of Revolution Health and Wellness and specializes in prolotherapy treatment for pain conditions, such as Tulsa low back pain. Many people wonder what they can expect when they choose prolotherapy to help treat their pain. When you come into our clinic in Tulsa, we will evaluate and discuss the history of your pain and perform a physical exam in order to determine the areas that could benefit from therapy. The location of your pain may not necessarily be the exact area that needs the prolotherapy treatment. Call Dr. Edwards at Revolution Health at 918-935-3636, and he’ll explain to you what you can expect from your prolotherapy treatment today.
Many people wonder why they are hurting in one place and we are injecting in another. For example, you may be suffering from shoulder pain, but that pain could be referred from your neck and you may not even have a shoulder problem at all. When you come in, we will need to be able to have access to examine the entire structures. We recommend that you come dressed in athletic clothing. If your clothing gets in the way of a proper examination, then you will be asked to put on a gown.
Once we have completed your examination, we will determine the extent of the therapy that is needed. Sometimes we can perform your first procedure at the first exam, and sometimes we may need to schedule a follow-up appointment for you to return for your therapy. We will explain to you exactly how prolotherapy works, what to expect, as well as the risks and benefits of treatment. Prolotherapy has been proven to be the most cost effective way to reduce pain such as Tulsa low back pain, and improve function. In the long term, it is cheaper than medications, physical therapy and surgery.
We will custom design an individualized treatment plan to your individual medical and personal needs in order to maximize your results. We will talk about your medical conditions as well as the cost of the treatment and will agree on a plan that works for you. We have recommendations that we tell our patients regarding what to do and what not to do before or after their first prolotherapy procedure. First, limit ice as much as possible. Do not use anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, etc.
We also recommend that our patients never smoke as it will inhibit their healing. You should also improve your eating habits in order to help your healing as well. We want our patients to understand that prolotherapy injections can be painful. The pain from each injection lasts for only a couple of seconds, in comparison to a lifetime of chronic Tulsa low back pain, or other chronic pains. After your treatment, you should implement movement and exercise, apply heat, use non-anti-inflammatory analgesics as needed, and get adequate sleep and proper nutrition. Prolotherapy can greatly decrease your pain and increase your quality of life.
Proper Nutrition Can Eliminate Your Tulsa Low Back Pain

Revolution Health and Wellness was started by Dr. Chad P. Edwards, DO. Dr. Edwards practices holistic, functional medicine in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He believes that nutrition is one of the fundamentals of our health, and poor nutrition is one of the most common causes of less than optimal health, including Tulsa low back pain. Unfortunately, due to our American culture, most Americans are not healthy. Call Dr. Edwards at 918-935-3636 and he will help get you on the path to improved health today.
Doctor Edwards believes that God is the Creator of the Universe and God’s Son, Jesus Christ, is his personal Lord and Savior. He prays for all of his patients and believes that Jesus died for everyone of every religion. Dr. Edwards hopes that he will never make you feel uncomfortable by his faith, but it is his prayer that all of his patients will come to know God. Dr. Edwards strongly believes that God called him into this profession in order to improve the lives of others. He is committed to helping his patients achieve optimal health.
There are countless health problems that can be attributed, at least in part, to poor nutrition, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Chron’s disease, hyperlipidemia, digestive problems, stomach pains, osteoporosis, obesity, Thyroid problems, fatigue, depression, insomnia, anxiety, Tulsa low back pain, and many more. Proper nutrition is about so much more than portion control and eating the right amount of food, it’s about eating the right kinds of foods. When we eat the right kinds of food, then the quantity becomes much less important. When you start to see your food as your fuel, then you are eating for optimal health. This is the opposite of the typical “American way” of using food for social gatherings, holidays, comfort, rewards, etc.
Gluten, for example, increases overall inflammation in the body, and is the cause of the most common autoimmune conditions, such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis leading to Tulsa low back pain, Thyroid disorders, and many more. Most of our patients are shocked to discover that many of these conditions can be treated and cured by improving their nutrition. For conditions that can’t be completely treated with nutrition alone, we can accomplish a decrease in the dose of medications that are currently being used to treat the condition. This will help to decrease the negative side effects of medications due to taking lower doses. No matter what, improving your nutrition is always a win win situation.
To achieve the best nutrition, we work with our patients to discover their goals and then continually work towards those goals. You will also need to eat whole, natural foods whenever possible, and ideally try to get as much of this food locally as possible. It’s also important to eat as much variety as possible, which will ensure an adequate intake of nutrients. We also recommend eliminating gluten altogether, and to reduce, if not completely eliminate grains as much as possible. Following these guidelines will get you started on the path to achieving optimal health through proper nutrition.
