Osteonecrosis & Avascular Necrosis

Avascular necrosis, also known as osteonecrosis, happens when the blood flow to a part of a bone is disrupted. This causes the bone tissue to die, which can eventually break the bone down and cause the joint it’s attached to to collapse. This disruption in blood flow usually happens from trauma (like breaking a bone) or a joint dislocation.

Avascular necrosis can also happen when healthy stem cells die, with the remaining amount struggling to keep up with the body’s regular wear-and-tear. This often happens from overusing steroid injections and prescribed drugs.

Eternity offers a powerful alternative to surgery and drugs, using the body’s own healing abilities to treat avascular necrosis and help you get back to living pain-free!

Responsible Pain Management For Avascular Necrosis/Osteonecrosis

Our non-surgical and non-drug solution to avascular necrosis is called Responsible Pain Management (RPM), which works to regenerate the disrupted blood flow and broken-down bone. It treats the painful symptoms while taking care of the root of the problem.

Our team of highly-trained doctors will take you through our advanced medical diagnostics process to find out exactly why you’re struggling with avascular necrosis, allowing us to create a fully customized plan of recovery that is unique to your needs and goals without any of the complications that surgery and drugs cause!

We use cutting-edge stem cell therapy, which will give your body the tools it needs to start healing itself and enter a regenerative state – which is very important to rebuilding the disrupted blood supply and replenishing the limited stem cells in your body. 

You’ll see the power of integrative medicine first-hand by enjoying our many other therapies, including:

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation to build strength and bone density,
  • Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) to accelerate healing,
  • Medical acupuncture to relieve pain,
  • And more to power up your body and get your bones back to where they were!

Frequently Asked Questions

Osteonecrosis is a complex condition that many say cannot be fully cured. However, with our cutting-edge use of stem cell therapy, we believe that we can give your body the tools it needs to put itself into a regenerative state and deal with the root of the problem directly!

Usually bone fractures or joint dislocations are the most common causes of osteonecrosis, but you can be more at risk if you’re receiving regular steroid injections or are taking oral steroids like Prednisone.

Anyone can be affected by avascular necrosis, but it’s more common in people between the ages of 30 and 50.

MEET ELIZABETH BECKNER AND DAISHA ESCAMILLA

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
