Dr. Lauren Millman/Suwanee Spine & Wellness Center

Suwanee Spine and Wellness Center specializes in providing a unique and specialized form of chiropractic known as Upper Cervical care to the Suwanee community and surrounding Gwinnett County. The unique approach is built upon the foundation that unless you correct the underlying cause of your problem, the likelihood of you healing is often slow or non-existent. When you can effectively correct the underlying dysfunction, your body, in turn, can heal. Their spinal care procedure effectively and uniquely evaluates the state of your whole body, which in turn effects your overall health.

Dr. Lauren Millman is the owner and Upper Cervical chiropractor of Suwanee Spine. She specializes on long term body correction and maintaining that proper spinal alignment. Suwanee Spine and Wellness Center offers specialty chiropractic care as well as Neuromuscular Therapy and Personal Training/Corrective Postural Exercises.

Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients – Top Docs Radio

April 1, 2014 by Mike

Top Docs Radio features healthcare providers and professionals sharing their expertise to “Get the Word Out” about a variety of health problems, treatments and community concerns to elevate our community’s well-being.

Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients

According to recent data from the CDC, diabetes affects over 25.8 million people in the US (roughly 8% of the population). Coupled with data that shows another 79 million persons in the US have pre-diabetes (A1C levels above normal) or 35% of the population. Obviously, it’s a serious problem. Diabetes is a major contributor to stroke, heart disease and peripheral vascular disease (PAD). Roughly 1:6 diabetics will develop a diabetic ulcer on their foot or lower extremity and many of them will ultimately require amputation of part of the foot or leg. After amputation for an ulcer, studies have shown diabetics’ 5 year mortality rates rise significantly — to as high as 45-60%. It is critical that these patients receive rapid, aggressive care from a spectrum of specialists who must each address the various factors contributing to the ulcer.

Our guests this week include three such specialists who treat diabetic ulcer patients in their practice every day. They will give insight about the role they play in saving the diabetic ulcer patient’s limb (and possibly their life).

The host of Top Docs Radio is Charles “CW” Hall with Hyperbaric Physicians of Georgia.

Kile Lewis/oXYGen Financial

What’s the scoop about oXYGen Financial? “Guitar Hero” is to a financial services firm what a treasure chest full of toys is to a dentist’s chair: it doesn’t change the office operation, but at least it makes you quit yer snivelin’. Face it, kids, we all have to do our financial planning and our income taxes unless we want to get cavities. No, wait. That’s not it. We all have to do taxes lest we end up like Wesley Snipes. The way they see it at oXYGen Financial, you might as well have financial advisors that are not only good at planning your future, but also deliver your experience with a twist of fun… and an oxygen bar in the lobby just in case you need a last-minute happy boost before you get down to business with them.

oXYGen Financial is a full service family office offering financial services for the X and Y generations. Their mission is to help clients breathe easier about life by providing financial advice, wealth management, insurance, group benefits and tax and accounting services. oXYGen Financial also offers coordination of legal services and concierge services. They aren’t your parent’s firm, but oXYGen Financial can help you breathe easier… and it will feel a lot less like having teeth pulled. Take a spin today!

Paul Kendig/Dinova

Dinova brings corporations and restaurants together in a formal business relationship. Their corporations dine at the preferred restaurants that are on the program.

Mike Haswell/Storing Treasures

Storing Treasures is dedicated to providing new and unique options regarding financial coaching. Rather than assuming everyone responds to handling finances in the same manner, Storing Treasures recognizes each person’s unique financial personality regarding money. The Financial Personality Assessment is the cornerstone of the entire Storing Treasures program. Our financial personalities are driven by specific traits that define how we think and how we behave financially. In order to reach many more people with the Storing Treasures approach, they have developed a new web-based program called STAFF (Storing Treasures Automated Financial Foundation). STAFF is a unique, one of a kind educational platform designed to provide the user with a personalized plan. It is an 8 session course that allows the individual to learn about educational topics and then input their own information into a secure environment. Individuals can then get a personalized report, based on their own financial personality, that they can use time and time again. Once you understand how you and those around you are wired from a financial standpoint, you can make better decisions that will ultimately lead to better communication, lower debt, higher savings and improvement in your finances.

Storing Treasures promotes this program to employers, financial professionals, churches and non-profits as a way for these organizations to provide a new program for those they serve. Statistics show the incredible amount of time people worry about their finances in any given day… leading to stress-related illnesses, absenteeism and a lack of productivity. Your organization will become stronger by offering a way for people to get the basic financial help and support they need…. helping them become a better employee.

Kelly Moselle/A BlueHorizon Residential Treatment

A BlueHorizon Residential Treatment is a substance use disorders (addiction) intensive treatment program for men and women who suffer from addictive diseases. Services are provided both on an out-patient basis, with or without supervised recovery residence services. Clients work in a community environment with a highly experienced staff and are engaged in a structured treatment regimen that includes evidence-based treatment practices in conjunction with a 12-step based philosophy.

Dana Rider & Kevin Short/My Real Recovery

Real Recovery is a sober living, halfway housing and treatment aftercare program designed specifically for young men ages 18-28 that have struggled with substance abuse and addiction. Situated on seven acres of beautiful riverfront property just north of the mountain city Asheville, North Carolina – it is unlike any other program that exists anywhere in the country.

They take a common sense approach to rehabilitation. Rather than being institutional, they implement a highly structured program in a casual environment. All of their residents have individualized and structured plans in place designed specifically for them by Real Recovery staff. Their clients participate in daily group activities, therapy, community and 12-step applications in a supportive, brotherhood-focused community. Although Real Recovery is a halfway housing provider, their individualized and hands-on approach to the services offered for young men stand out from those of standard halfway house programs across the United States.

What makes them really unique, however, is their belief in teaching young men to live life on life’s terms. Their goal is to instill a love for the life that they have been graciously given. Fun, love and helping others are the answers to a successful rehabilitation at Real Recovery.
