Richardson Pain & Wellness Offers Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Richardson Pain & Wellness, a Richardson pain clinic in Texas, has announced that they are offering testosterone replacement therapy. This kind of therapy is provided to men who have been tested to have low testosterone levels and their condition is interfering with their health and quality of life. This kind of hormone replacement therapy offers the benefits of a stronger sex drive and greater muscle mass. However, they also would like to warn people that it has to be medically supervised because of the possible mental and physical risks that come with self-administered synthetic or artificial testosterone, which is also known as anabolic steroids.

A spokesperson for Richardson Pain & Wellness says, “Among the candidates for therapy are those who suspect themselves to be testosterone deficient. Though there is not a universally accepted number that indicates abnormally low testosterone, most physicians agree that a “normal” level will range between 300 and 1000 nanograms per deciliter.”

He adds, “While low T levels are sometimes associated with relatively minor symptoms such as hair loss, weight fluctuations, and poor mood regulation, patients can also fare far worse. For instance, low T has also been associated with an increased rate of mortality (a higher risk of death).”

There are a number of methods of treatment to choose from. These include oral medication through pills and/or dissolving strips; topical applications through the use of gels and creams; and testosterone pellets that can be implanted in the body of the patient. Richardson Pain & Wellness strongly advises against oral medication, unless it is the only option for a particular patient, since oral medication is believed to contribute to liver problems. According to the clinic, patients who go to them usually have their testosterone levels increased through testosterone injections that deliver it directly to the blood stream. This particular method is widely believe to be the most effective.

Meanwhile, the clinic can also provide fast medical weight loss. This program is performed under the direct supervision of medical professionals. In this program, ongoing support and supervision is provided to ensure that what patients are doing is safe and healthy for their body. Thus, those who undergo this weight loss program will continually get feedback from their doctor in order to maintain a steady but fast weight loss regimen that will not put them at risk of health problems.

Many people have observed that they are able to stick to a medically monitored weight loss program for much longer as compared to programs that they initiate themselves. The primary reason is that they get motivated to continue with their efforts when they go for their checkups. And the longer people follow the plan, the more likely they will be able to integrate it into their lives as a new lifestyle that they can do automatically for the rest of their life.

Richardson Pain & Wellness also offers other kinds of services like conservative pain management and anti-aging treatment. And aside from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), they also provide other kinds of hormone replacement therapy, such as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) replacement therapy. HCG can be used for treating infertility in women. For men, HCG can be used to stimulate the testes. Thiscan be used in conjunction with TRT because with TRT, the pituitary gland stops signaling the testes resulting in testes that shrink in size over time. After years of TRT treatment, natural production of testosterone may no longer resume. This can be prevented with HCG replacement therapy.

Thyroid treatments can also be provided by Richardson Pain & Wellness. For people with hypothyroidism this means their body produces insufficient amounts of the T3 hormone. The goal of hormone therapy is to mimic the normal function of the thyroid glands. T4 or synthetic thyroxine is often used because it functions just like a person’s natural thyroid hormone.
