Regenerative & Advanced Therapies
In addition to integrative and holistic care, we offer advanced therapies designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life:
EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology):
A non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal pain, tendon and ligament injuries, and sports-related conditions. EPAT uses pressure waves to stimulate healing, increase circulation, and accelerate recovery.
EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy):
An innovative therapy that uses high-energy magnetic fields to support tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and promote healing of acute and chronic conditions.
Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) for Erectile Dysfunction:
A non-invasive treatment for ED that delivers low-intensity shock waves to improve penile blood flow and stimulate natural erectile function. This therapy offers men a safe, drug-free alternative to restore confidence and sexual health.

Covid 19 Infection, Long Haul and Post Vaccine Syndrome…
Integrates The McCullough Protocol (scroll down page) & the Independent Medical Alliance Protocols with Kirk Hamilton’s personal clinical experience treating Covid 19 from August, 2021 on with the addition of nutritional IV therapy.
Anyone who has had a Covid 19 infection and/or mRNA vaccinations should be evaluated by
LabCorps IgG Spike Protein Antibodies (draw at out office or at any LabCorp). If elevated the spike protein can increase inflammation and be a culprit in multiple chronic diseases. A program to degrade the spike protein in the body tailored to the individual can be implemented (Read:
The Spike Protein Effect).
Treatment is individualized depending on patients past medical history and other comorbidities but some therapies uses for Covid Long Haul and Post Covid Vaccine Syndrome Include:
Diet: Whole food, dairy, wheat-free, moderate eggs, no refined carbohydrates, alcohol, sweets or possibly caffiene-free. Low glycemic, high nutrient dense, low food intolerance diet. Supervised
Fasting Mimicking Diet/Prolon.

Key Nutrients Vit C, D, B complex, zinc, magnesium, selenium, quercetin, CoQ10, N-acetylcysteine, nattokinase, curcumin, bromelain, adrenal support, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics.

EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) - (6-8 weekly treatments)
- EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive form of shockwave therapy that delivers acoustic pressure waves to injured tissues.
- Benefits: EPAT: Stimulates metabolism, stem cells, growth factors, angiogenesis, improves circulation, and accelerates natural healing.
- Treatment: Treatment is done in-office with a handheld applicator (no anesthesia or incisions), typically over 6-8 sessions, each lasting between 30-60 minutes, allowing patients to resume normal activity almost immediately.
EMTT (Extracorporeal MagnetoTransduction Therapy)
- Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that uses high-frequency (oscillations) pulsed electromagnetic fields to support the body’s natural healing processes.
- Benefits: Improves cellular activity and circulation, and EMTT can also reduce pain and inflammation to promote a faster recovery from conditions like muscle and joint pain, back issues, tendinitis, or sports injuries.
- Treatment: Done in the office with little to no discomfort and no downtime afterward.
- Usually 6-8 usually weekly treatments. Frequently used in conjunction with radial or focused EPAT treatments but can be used as a solo treatment. Can be done 2-3 times weekly and immediately after an acute injury.
