The Newest Non-surgical Procedure For Hemorrhoid, Varicose Vein And Tattoo Removal!
Health Works Integrative Medical Center, located inside the Living Well Center on Christy Way in Saginaw is considered the leading hemorrhoid treatment facility in the area.
The facility offers patients a state-of-the-art painless, non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment procedure. Health Works provides patients with lasting relief from hemorrhoids without anesthesia, surgery, or lengthy recovery times.
Many medical studies found IRC to be the non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment of choice because it is fast, well tolerated by patients, and virtually problem free. A small probe contacts the area above the hemorrhoid, exposing the tissue to a quick pulse of infrared light. This coagulates the vein above the hemorrhoid causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and recede.
The patient may feel a slight sensation of heat but our Infrared Coagulation hemorrhoid treatment is generally not painful. Therefore, anesthesia is not required.
Treatment with IRC is painless, safe, and effective. Before treatment, your physician will conduct a routine external and internal examination to chart your hemorrhoid disease and ensure that there is no other disease responsible for your symptoms. This examination takes only a few minutes.
There are only three medical centers in Michigan that focus on this treatment for patients and specialize in procedure. The Saginaw location opened in March and another location in Grand Blanc is slated to open their doors in early May.
Patients need to come in on average for 4-6 treatments depending on severity of their hemorrhoids (doctor diagnosis in first visit to give them an idea of the number of treatments).
"We want patients to have this quick, painless option for hemorrhoids. The old solutions for treatment, such as creams that only mask the pain, surgery or rubber band ligation which is not only painful but requires anesthesia and time off work...which no one wants, especially in these economic times," said Dawn Lupcke, President & Founder of Health Works Integrative Medical Center.
Lupcke added, "The first visit with the consultation, diagnosis and first treatment will take 45 minutes. Each treatment after that is literally 15 minutes from the time they walk in and out of the clinic. They can come in at lunch and it will not disrupt their lifestyle. It is pain free, no anesthesia necessary, and covered by insurance!"
Every year 123,000 Americans undergo surgery for hemorrhoids, while millions more self-medicate with little or no relief from nonprescription ointments and hemorrhoid suppositories. Although 50% of Americans will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in their life, it can still be cause for embarrassment and anxiety. Like any medical condition, if hemorrhoids go unchecked, they can become a cause for serious concern.
Now, with IRC, there is a new, painless, nonsurgical device for the effective treatment of hemorrhoids. With IRC your hemorrhoids can be treated during a regular office visit. IRC requires no special preparation, no anesthesia, and no hemorrhoid medications or salves.
"I truly believe in educating the patient and giving them this option is empowering them to make the most educated decision for their own health and well being," said Lupcke.
