What Our Patients Are Saying
Shawn at Fix Medical Group made my first chiropractic experience absolutely incredible. His approach completely put me at ease. During his analysis and information gathering portion of the appointment, his attention to detail was incredible. He listened, asked great questions and was able to draw some crucial additional pieces of information out of me that I didn’t think pertained (but they did). He made sure I understood what he thought the problem was and we are in the process of creating a game plan to fix it. I’m a 30yr old avid CrossFitter and hiker and have had chronic low back pain for years. After the first appointment, I felt the best I have felt in 10 years. I can’t wait to continue to work with Shawn and his team. I would give Shawn and Fix Medical 6 stars if I could. Great experience!! Definitely will go back.
I first learned about Dr. Shawn Robek, from Sue Falsone at a Perform Better Seminar. She highly recommended Dr Shawn and said he would be able to help. I had a total knee reconstruction of my left knee, all new ligaments. I was about a year out when we first met and I was in constant pain, with every step I took. I wasn’t able to flex my quad due to severe muscle atrophy and I thought I would never squat again. I just finished my 12th session with him and I’m squatting, lunging, jumping and walking with no pain! I worked really hard inside his gym and did the homework as he requested. We built a friendship that will last forever ! Thank you, Dr Shawn, for being you! May God continue to bless you and your business!
Everybody that I have met that works here is great! I’ve been to several doctors over the last few months, and I am actually scheduled to have eight-disc fusion surgery in June, but I have had 3 sessions with Shawn and he really knows the human body. He is aggressive in his treatment, but he knows what he’s doing, and I am so glad that I started seeing him. Before I couldn’t even walk my dog to the mailbox without my sciatica really killing me, but today after my appointment with Shawn, I could walk to the mailbox without my leg bothering me at all. So, then I walked another mile, which is big for me. Normally I can’t walk more than a couple hundred feet without my sciatica killing me because of the curve in my back. I’m glad I found these guys and I will continue my treatment with them.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Hormone Replacement Therapy
What is hormone replacement therapy?
Many people suffer from hormone imbalances, and the goal of hormone replacement therapy is to correct these imbalances so these people can live comfortably and avoid potential health complications.
Used for many years to help women through the menopausal transition, hormone replacement therapy in this case helps ease discomfort and keep them from experiencing osteoporosis, which can happen when calcium levels are incorrect due to hormonal changes.
Hormone replacement therapy involves the use of synthetic or bioidentical estrogen and progesterone in women and can also involve testosterone in men.
Who can benefit from hormone replacement therapy?
Anyone with a hormone imbalance could be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. While the signs of hormone imbalance in menopausal women are usually obvious, some people experience discomfort, confusion or frustration for years and don’t understand their issues stem from this imbalance.
This therapy is most popular in women during menopause, but people of almost any age can suffer from imbalances. Consulting with a medical professional can allow you to determine if hormone replacement therapy is right for your situation, and it should only be administered by a professional.
Is hormone replacement therapy the same for everyone?
It is our goal at FIX Medical Group to create a health plan which is unique for every patient’s needs, and when we perform hormone replacement therapy this goal remains intact. The method of administration, the types of hormones used, and the duration of treatment all vary depending on the patient’s needs.
Our group has a holistic approach to healing, so when our patients undergo hormone replacement therapy it is often in conjunction with other practices to improve their overall health.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Hormone replacement therapy can be a complex treatment and should be administered by an experienced medical professional. If done correctly, hormone replacement therapy can provide relief and the risks are minimal.
When we pursue hormone replacement therapy with our patients, we always cover any potential risks in light of their overall health and their health goals. You will receive the proper amount of care and attention needed, and we will actively listen and answer any questions you might have.
If you feel hormone replacement can be beneficial to your well-being, please call us or schedule a consultation today.
What are the negative side effects of hormone replacement therapy?
Like any medical treatment, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may have side effects, though they vary by individual. Common side effects include bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, or mood changes. Serious risks, such as blood clots or stroke, are rare and depend on factors like age, health history, and treatment type. A medical professional will monitor and adjust your treatment to minimize risks.
Why is HRT no longer recommended?
HRT is still recommended for many individuals, but its use became controversial after studies linked long-term use to increased risks of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke in some women. However, newer research shows that HRT is safe and effective for most women when used correctly, especially for short-term relief of menopause symptoms. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine if HRT is right for you.
Does HRT reduce lifespan?
No, HRT does not reduce lifespan when used appropriately. In fact, it can improve quality of life by alleviating debilitating menopause symptoms and supporting bone health. While early studies raised concerns, recent research indicates that HRT, when tailored to individual needs and monitored by a professional, does not negatively impact lifespan and may even offer long-term health benefits.
What are the signs that you need hormone replacement therapy?
Signs you may need HRT include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, low energy, and bone density loss. These symptoms often result from hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. If these issues affect your daily life, consult a healthcare provider to evaluate if HRT could help restore balance and improve your well-being.
What doctor is best for HRT?
The best doctor for HRT is typically a gynecologist, endocrinologist, or a healthcare provider specializing in hormone therapy. At FIX Medical Group, our experienced professionals create personalized HRT plans to address your unique needs. We recommend consulting a trusted provider who listens to your concerns and offers a holistic approach to treatment.
When can I start HRT?
You can start HRT as soon as you experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as menopause-related discomfort. The timing depends on your symptoms, health history, and goals. Early intervention can provide relief and prevent long-term health issues like osteoporosis. Consult a healthcare provider to determine the best time to begin HRT for your specific situation.
