New Pain Treatment and Medical Device Created

Innovative Pain Treatment and Medical Device Created by the Brooks Center

Based on recent research, the Brooks Center and its founder Ron Brooks have developed a new pain treatment and medical device. The center's neurovascular restructuring treatment and Neurovasc device technology were created to address, control and cure symptoms of physical pain and stress.

Westlake, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2007 -- Ron Brooks, founder of the Brooks Center (www.brooksptcenter.com) in Thousand Oaks, California, has developed an innovative pain treatment and medical device as the result of a recent research program. The company is currently considering different private equity funding options to commence manufacturing and marketing of its neurovascular restructuring treatment and Neurovasc device technology.

During his 30 years of practice, Brooks became frustrated with the inability to control and cure the symptoms of pain, which hinders the rehabilitation process. He began to see a correlation between a specific pain pattern and the superficial structures of the body. Research in this area spawned the Brooks Center's neurovascular restructuring pain treatment.

A direct result of this research program was the development of the neurovasc, a unique vacuum device that restructures the superficial components of the body. The neurovasc eradicates pain by lifting and separating the layers of injured tissue, releasing entrapped nerves that cause pain. According to Brooks, the treatment also influences patients' brain chemistry and allows them to regain control over their lives when acute and chronic pain is relieved. With lower pain levels, patients report reduced stress, depression and anxiety levels; this also facilitates reducing patients' dependency on caffeine, alcohol and/or medication.

"Pain and stress compounded with substance abuse will eventually kill you," Brooks says. "The very tragic event involving Anna Nicole Smith focused public attention on this issue. The emotional factors that contributed to her death were obviously compounded by the abuse of some powerful medications. Perhaps this explains some of the bizarre behavior we saw before her subsequent overdose and death. This sequence of events is being played out in our country on a daily basis. We need to recognize that behaviors like this are a reflection and manifestation of a chemical imbalance in the brain."

Without finding ways to control pain and stress, the result is often a downward spiral from the accumulated effects, Brooks says. This often leads to increased dependency on caffeine, over-the-counter medications, drugs and alcohol to cope with pain and stress.

The Brooks Center is focused on the treatment of adults with physical pain and stress, and has recently expanded to become active in the field of adult and youth sports injuries. The Brooks Center is looking for partners to help build a network of offices to bring its neurovascular treatment to the public across North America.

Advanced Technology Now Found At Cancer Center

Cancer Center Acquires Advanced Technology

NomosSTAT Encore Serial Tomotherapy System in use for 6 months at NY Cancer Center.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) May 21, 2007 -- Dr. Charles H. Albrecht, director of Finger Lakes Radiation Oncology Center in Clifton Springs, NY announced today that the center has been using the nomosSTAT Encore Serial Tomotherapy System for 6 months. "This equipment allows us to use Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in patients with a wider variety of diseases. We have seen great improvement in side effects during treatment of pelvic malignancies and expect that these patients will have fewer long-term complications." IMRT makes it possible to precisely treat cancers which are surrounded by structures which must be protected, so that higher doses of radiation can be delivered with fewer side effects and complications. Nomos (North American Scientific) pioneered IMRT technology in the 1990s, and in 2000 Finger Lakes Radiation Oncology was the first center in the area to install the original Nomos system. The center started treating patients with the new equipment in November, 2006.
