From pantry to medicine cabinet; The benefits of using honey as a healing method.
It’s true what they say: What’s Old is New Again. Mankind’s earliest civilizations used natural honey as a medicine to help treat sickness and heal
Scott Greenberg, MD specializes in holistic and comprehensive approaches to sports medicine, regenerative orthopedics, chronic pain, arthritis, and post-concussion syndrome. Using methods such as prolotherapy, PRP, and stem cell therapy, he has had great success in treating patients from around the world with a wide variety of problems. A world-renowned integrative and regenerative physician, Dr. Greenberg counts many Olympic athletes and professional sports stars among his patients. He performs approximately 4,000 procedures each year, and has treated many star/MVP athletes from teams such as the Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76ers, Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Toronto Blue Jays, and Colorado Avalanche.

Knee injuries may reach as high as 2.5 million per year among teen athletes in the United States. The knee is built to support the body’s weight while walking, running and standing. It connects the two lower bones, the fibula and tibia to the thigh bone at the knee joint which is connected by a network of supporting ligaments and meniscus. Protecting the ligaments, nerves and blood vessels is the kneecap or patella which rests on a dense layer of cartilage that serves as a shock absorber.
Feet & Ankles
With 24% of the population complaining of frequent foot pain and 15% complaining of ankle pain, there seems to be a tsunami of foot and ankle pain in the US. With bone spurs, foot and ankle arthritis, sprained ankles, bursitis, flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, tendinosis, mallet toes and more, it is easy to see why over 75-million Americans are eager to put their feet up every day.
Hips
The primary purpose of your hips is to bear your body’s weight while standing and in motion. The hip joint is a flexible, sturdy, multiaxial synovial joint that provided humans with an evolutionary advantage that allowed a relatively weak, clawless, fang-free primitive human to walk and run upright and become the most successful hunter on the planet.
Wrists & Hands
The importance of our wrists and hands to our survival is reflected in the sophisticated engineering that can be seen from the tips of our protective keratinous nails to the highly flexible bones in our wrists.
Elbows
The elbow joint system connects the upper arm (humerus) to the lower arm bones of the radius and the larger ulna. The elbow joint allows flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements through the ulno-humeral and proximal radio-ulnar joints, respectively. Like the knee, the elbow joint is dependant on ligaments for support.
Shoulders
Athletes who engage in repetitive, overhead motions such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting are at risk for a shoulder injury. Over time, these activities can lead to inflammation and damage. Pain can also occur as we age and the tendons and ligaments lose some of their elasticity.
Head & Neck
Your neck gives our head exceptional flexibility. It is composed of seven cervical vertebrae and six intervertebral discs which give us an evolutionary edge with the ability to scan almost 260-degrees around us with rapid lateral movements of the neck. Neck flexibility also means vulnerability to high-stress events such as car crashes, tackles, falls, and other traumas.
Back & Spine
Athletes who engage in repetitive, overhead motions such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting are at risk for shoulder injury. Over time, these activities can lead to inflammation and damage. Pain can also occur as we age and the tendons and ligaments lose some of their elasticity. The most common causes of chronic shoulder pain are: Labral tears, Rotator cuff injuries, Arthritis, Biceps tendinitis

Stem Cell Therapy is a regenerative therapy which uses the body’s own mesenchymal stem cells and biological growth factors to heal and regenerate injured tissue such as ligaments, tendons, joints, and cartilage. Theoretically, stem cells can regenerate every organ, muscle, vascular system and nerve pathway in the body.
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical, opioid-free, natural treatment that signals your body to send healing components to injured joints where connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons and ligaments can be regenerated. A prolotherapy treatment may require several injections over several months to initiate and support tissue regeneration and improve joint functionality.
Platelet Rich Plasma uses your own blood to orchestrate the regeneration of a wide range of tissues including ligaments, cartilage, and tendons. The infusion of PRP at the injury site initiates the body’s healing mechanism by promoting and activating natural therapeutic biochemicals and growth factors that eventually rebuild and remodel the injured soft tissue.
