Postoperative Recovery

At Prestige Wellness Institute, you can take advantage of a comprehensive evaluation and treatment strategy to get back in the game faster than you imagined was possible.

Is It Possible to Speed Up the Process?

Is it possible to speed up the process? Having been conditioned to believe healing just takes time and rest, you might not think so. But all it takes is one person to disprove decades of tradition and practice. Better yet, how about a whole class of people? Think about professional athletes. They and their teammates and owners, and a lot of other people, depend on them playing every single game they can. Tens of millions of dollars are at stake. Do you think for a minute that they sit around and wait to heal after injuries and/or surgeries? Of course not. Yes, they do physical therapy and have excellent trainers. But they also avail themselves of all the latest tools most people have never heard about.

The reason you have never heard about these tools is because they don’t involve drugs. Unlike my broken clavicle, many injuries don’t require surgery, just some cutting-edge tools we use on a daily basis in the office. Although a speedy recovery can require an investment, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to afford it. At Prestige Wellness Institute, we utilize a comprehensive approach to giving everyday people just like you everything you need to recover in a hurry.

Why Recovery Takes So Long

Pain Is Just the Beginning

If you’ve ever been injured, ill, or had surgery, you know it can take a long time to recover. Pain is just the beginning of your problems.

01
Anesthesia Anesthesia throws a lot of people for a loop. While most people recover uneventfully, some take weeks to get back to normal, and some never feel or function the same again. I only know this because I meet them years later, in the office. The brain can really take a hit from the chemicals used to put you to sleep and keep you alive while the surgeon is doing his or her magic on your damaged body parts.
02
Surgery and Your Adrenal Glands Surgery itself gives your adrenal glands a good kick in the butt, as evidenced by weeks of recovery, or even chronic fatigue in a subset of people.
03
Concussions, Old and New If you’ve had a concussion (at any time in your life), you may have persistent symptoms of head pain, brain fog, memory loss, irritability, depression, etc. Or you may not. In either case, you still have ongoing neuron damage from the inflammatory cascade that is set in motion by the original injury.
How We Help

A Comprehensive Approach to Rapid Recovery

This means providing your mitochondria the nutrients they need for energy. It means using specific proteolytic enzymes to help your body remove and recycle damaged cells. It means using signaling molecules and individualized electromagnetic frequencies to supercharge your repair fibroblasts. It means employing natural anti-inflammatory molecules to reduce pain and calm down inappropriate cytokine activation. It may even mean using soundwaves to recruit your own stem cells to the area of damage. If you have been ill and just can’t seem to kick it, you may also take advantage of adrenal support along with immune-supporting and immune-modulating molecules.

You Don’t Have Time to Lay in Bed

If you are like me when I had oral surgery, broke my clavicle, and had orthopedic surgery, you don’t have months, weeks, or even days to recover. You’ve got plans. Whether it’s going on a trip, getting back to work, getting back on your bike, simply getting out of pain, or whatever, you don’t have time to lay in bed or sit around watching Netflix while your body does its thing.

With the benefit of these tools, I underwent extensive oral surgery, attended a national medical conference in another state (with a broken clavicle, no less), then had orthopedic surgery, all in the span of six days, and did not miss a single day of work. I was back on my mountain bike 21 days (instead of 10 weeks) after surgery…and rode my favorite double-black diamond trail 2 weeks later. I am not unique: you can do this, too.

FAQs

Postoperative Recovery Questions

Answers to common questions about recovering from surgery, illness, or injury.

Many patients reach out before a scheduled surgery so a plan is ready from the start. You can also begin after surgery, or even years later if you have never felt quite the same.

No. Your surgeon's instructions and your physical therapy remain important. Our tools are meant to support your recovery, not replace that care.

We hear this often. We look at factors such as adrenal strain, nutrient depletion, and inflammation in the brain, then build a plan to help you recover your energy and clarity.

Not at all. You don't have to be a professional athlete to take advantage of the tools athletes use. We help everyday people recover so they can get back to work, travel, family, and the activities they love.

Every plan is individual. Depending on your needs, it may include nutrients for energy, proteolytic enzymes, signaling molecules, PEMF therapy, natural anti-inflammatory support, SoftWave therapy, adrenal support, and immune support.
