Dr Chad Edwards Prolotherapy in Tulsa OK knee 1

Prolotherapy is, without question, one of the greatest procedures I have ever seen or experienced. Before I moved to Tulsa, I started looking for prolotherapy physicians in the Tulsa area.

To MRI or Not To MRI… That Is The Question!

October 5, 2011 By Doc Leave a Comment

As an Army Doc I saw countless patients with musculoskeletal complaints. It wasn’t uncommon that someone would come up to be asking for an MRI in order to “find out what is going on”.

I have a lot of patients who ask me if I’ll test them for Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Yes, I’ll test them but I often recommend against testing [...]

Healthy Gut, Healthy Body

Some of them have been to their OB/GYN, general surgeon, gastroenterologist, family doc, pediatrician, etc and they still don’t have an answer. Sometimes they get surgery to “see what’s [...]

How To Know If You’re Getting Enough Vitamins

If you know me at all then you know that I’m a huge proponent of proper nutrition. It is one of the cornerstones of my ‘Healthy Trinity’ which is the foundation of optimizing health. The Functional Medicine approach to nutrition means that each person has an adequate & functional nutritional status. We have to have [...]

The Mismanaged Thyroid (Gland & Hormones)

I had a patient the other day, I’ll call her Sally, who was a new patient and had been recommended by a friend. She told me that she didn’t fell right. She felt as though “something was wrong” and “I don’t feel like I used to feel.” She told me she had been to several [...]
