The following segment aired on DR Marketing’s Incredible Discoveries. Joining DR Marketing Group was Clinically Fit to discuss joint stiffness.

DR Marketing Group: Maybe you or a loved one is recovering from trauma or injury requiring physical therapy, even hand, wrist or tennis elbow pain. Well now there is a solution. Winner of the 2007 medical design excellence award, the Xtensor exercises the muscles you use to open your hand.

Clinically Fit: If you’re looking for the key to freedom from the constraints of osteoarthritis, if you’re longing to regain lost mobility due to hand stiffness or aging, or if you just need to increase dexterity for that extra edge at work or at play, the answer is right at your fingertips.

DR Marketing Group: With clinically tested Xtensor you can naturally decrease joint stiffness and pain resulting from repetitive stress injuries without surgery, regain lost mobility without drugs or costly treatments, and increase flexibility and dexterity in your hands.

Clinically Fit: With the Xtensor you can finally get a grip.

DR Marketing Group: Millions of Americans suffer from the effects of hand stiffness and joint pain due to osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow and tendonitis. If you wear an elbow band or a wrist brace or rely almost solely on potentially dangerous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen for relief, you need to take a look at the Xtensor.

Clinically Fit: The Xtensor works by really exercising and providing resistance to the Xtensor muscle.  It’s important to understand that people think that they may have carpel tunnel syndrome simply because they have pain or often tendonitis and those are the kind of cases that really respond very well to tendon gliding exercises that can be provided with the Xtensor.

DR Marketing Group: Can you tell us about carpel tunnel syndrome?

Clinically Fit: The truth is, carpel tunnel syndrome is a compression of a nerve and it comes about because the tendons that run inside the carpel canal and the membranes around the tendons are thickened and then there is a secondary compression on the nerve.  Anybody can benefit from using the Xtensor, particularly people who do a lot of manual activity, whether it be sports, hobbies or work.

DR Marketing Group: The lead designer behind the Xtensor, CEO of Clinically Fit, Scott Kupferman, will explain how this remarkable product works and how it came to be. First and foremost, explain to us the critical science behind this miraculous healing system that is helping people free pain all over the world.

Clinically Fit: Okay, so it slips on either hand and it fits like a glove. Bands go into the fingertips with the grey bands and then secure the strap to your wrist. Make sure when you’re doing each repetition now, hold each hand open for just a few seconds, just to make sure you get that stretch in your palm.

DR Marketing Group: What happens while using the Xtensor?

Clinically Fit: There are two things that are taking place, one is we’re strengthening muscles that are deep within the elbow all across the back of the arm, and the second thing we’re doing is we’re increasing flexibility in the muscles that are always squeezing and gripping.

DR Marketing Group: It’s so easy to put on and it starts working immediately. I’ve got pretty bad hands from golf, as if my golf game isn’t bad enough, I have pain from it, and then when I shake hands with people it hurts, so tell me, what is taking place inside my hand and arm and wrist that is relieving the pain and strengthening my muscles?

Clinically Fit: Well, we always use our hands in a one-sided way to grip and squeeze, so this is designed to increase blood flow and bring nutrients into the arm in the area where it’s never really had an ability to have that – yeah, people seem to do that.

DR Marketing Group: It feels like you’re working out muscles you never knew you had. This is basically an exercise machine, like any other exercise machine that’s geared toward strengthening muscles. It is perhaps one of the most important muscular parts of your body.

Clinically Fit: Do you know one third of all the bones in your body are in your hands and wrist? And you never work them out; you just damage them day after day after day.

DR Marketing Group: How are we damaging out hands?

Clinically Fit: Well, for the most part, you’re always walking around with your hands in a pretty closed manner because everything you do is geared toward gripping and squeezing, so your hand are always strengthening toward the inside, and that sets off an imbalance that over time for millions of people.

DR Marketing Group: The product is really geared towards helping people that have pain in their wrists, pain in their elbows from tennis elbow, because these muscles are very very difficult to get to and the Xtensor is the only device that’s able to do that.  It also helps to improve overall joint stiffness and hand stiffness.

Clinically Fit: This is helpful for that type of a feeling, to help loosen up the hands and strengthen the hands in all the right places, and it will really help very, very quickly because these muscles have really never had an opportunity to exercise, they have been virtually off limits because it’s never anything you really touch on.

DR Marketing Group: Do you literally develop the Xtensor system to work the muscles that other strengthening products ignore?

Clinically Fit: Yes, the devise was really made to fit virtually everybody and it’s good for people that are hairdressers and gamers and golfers, tennis players, surgeons, dentists. As funny as it may sound, the Xtensor is even a great tool for the ever growing issue of Blackberry thumb.

Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD: Why Impotence Shortens the Penis

Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD

Genetics are a significant determining factor of penis size, but there are instances when a man’s penis grows shorter during his life. Radiation treatments for cancer, for instance, as well as Peyronie’s Disease can both negatively impact penile size. But research has also shown that impotence has a direct correlation with a decrease in penis size, and Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD, a Miami urologist, explains why.

Founder of Perito Urology, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD has performed thousands of surgeries to treat erectile dysfunction. This research shows the importance of treating erectile dysfunction, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD says. Over time impotence can have a negative effect on a man’s penis, with a loss of elasticity being partly to blame, explains Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD.

According to Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD, an erection stretches the tunica albuginea—the fibrous tissue that covers erectile bodies of the penis. When a man goes too long without an erection, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD explains, that fibrous tissue is believed to lose elasticity.  The tunica albuginea has a direct correlation to achieving erection and to penis size and shape.

A metanalysis of several papers on the topic reveal that any man suffering from impotence could lose .5 to 5 cm’s every year and a half they manifest the disease.  Dr. Perito explains that nocturnal erections, erections occurring 6 to 10 times a night act to exercise the penis and keep it healthy.  The old saying “If you do not use it, you will lose it”, certainly applies here.  For men suffering from erectile dysfunction, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD and others in his field are able to surgically implant an inflatable device that will restore patients to normal function in a matter of weeks. An added benefit to this surgery, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD explains, is that patients will stretch the tunica albuginea and result in retention of penis size.

Lifestyle factors like smoking often play a role in both erectile dysfunction and penis size, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD says. According to Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD, experts believe smoking can damage the blood vessels of the penis, just as it damages other blood vessels. But for Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD and his staff, it is of greater concern that smoking has been directly connected to erectile dysfunction. As Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD points out, men who smoke more than a pack of cigarettes per day are 50% more likely to suffer erectile dysfunction than non-smoking men. As always, patients should live a healthy lifestyle and refrain from behavior that might be detrimental to health, Dr. Paul Edward Perito MD concludes.

Dr. Paul E. Perito says Men in Early Stages of Peyronie’s Disease May Find Relief Via Nonsurgical Treatment

Dr. Paul E. Perito

Dr. Paul E. Perito

Dr. Paul E. Perito, the namesake of Perito Urology – the world’s busiest erectile dysfunction clinic, offers surgical correction for Peyronie’s disease. He notes that before a patient is a candidate for an invasive procedure, they should consider nonsurgical therapy.

According to Dr. Paul E. Perito, men in the early phases of Peyronie’s disease (less than one year), or those in which the progression of the deformity progresses in an unstable manner may be prime candidates for nonsurgical treatment methods. As well, says Dr. Paul E. Perito, are those with inflammation severe enough to cause painful erections. The FDA has no currently approved nonsurgical treatments for Peyronie’s disease, as there is insufficient research on the subject. However, reports Dr. Paul E. Perito, a qualified physician can offer men suffering from Peyronie’s a variety of non-FDA approved treatments.

There have been studies suggesting oral therapy utilizing L-arginine and pentoxifylline have been shown to produce an anti-scarring effect in lab rats, reports Dr. Paul E. Perito. Rodents with intentionally induced penile scarring were given a combination of these agents and either Cialis, Levitra or Viagra in drinking water. It was determined that rats drinking this compound presented less scar tissue than those given plain drinking water. According to Dr. Paul E. Perito, once scar tissue was well established, the introduction of these compounds produced negligible results. The researchers concluded that oral treatments were more effective during the acute phase of the disease, while scar tissue is still forming.

Injection therapy, reports Dr. Paul E. Perito, also shows promise. Verapamil, as an intralesional injection, has offered marked improvement of Peyronie’s disease deformity in between 30 and 60% of patients. In similar studies, Verapamil injections showed favorable results when compared to a saline solution placebo. Additionally, reports Dr. Paul E. Perito, some physicians recommend a topical Verapamil gel, but he notes that this form of administration is unproven and expensive. According to Dr. Paul E. Perito, an injection of collagenase directly into scar tissue has also shown potential. Collagenase is akin to a chemical knife and works within the scar to break down collagen production, which will hopefully reduce the severity of the visible penile defect, says Dr. Perito.

Dr. Paul E. Perito notes that recent studies sponsored by the American Urological Association show that primary care physicians, as well as urologists, largely rely on vitamin E as a first step into the nonsurgical treatment of Peyronie’s Disease. There have been numerous placebo controlled studies that suggest vitamin E is ineffective, and therefore Dr. Paul E. Perito maintains that physician education about PD is important so that more effective treatments can be offered in the future.

It appears that the best option for the nonsurgical treatment of Peyronie’s disease may include a combination of therapies. According to Dr. Paul E. Perito, vacuum and stretching devices are available and, when used in harmony with administered drug therapies, may offer visible results as to the correction of penile curvature. External traction remains the most attractive noninvasive therapy and has been proven effective in other areas of medicine as well, including orthopedics and orthodontia, concludes Dr. Paul E. Perito.

Dr. Paul Perito’s Minimally Invasive Technique Heralded as Revolutionary

Dr. Paul Perito

Dr. Paul Perito

Fort Meyers urology specialist, Dr. Meir Daller, MD, says that his learning experience with Dr. Paul Perito cut his surgery time in half.

“A few months ago I spent a Friday afternoon with Dr. Paul Perito in Coral Gables Hospital. That was an incredible experience for me as an urologist. On that Friday, Dr. Paul Perito had 18 procedures. I scrubbed in on three of them. His operative time was about 8 minutes.

“Dr. Paul Perito is an excellent surgeon with an excellent staff. Coming back from Coral Gables, I immediately scheduled two penile prosthesis implants. I have now gone from using the scrotal approach to the infrapubic approach. My surgical time went down from 45 min. to 20 min. Keep in mind that I don’t have surgical staff that Dr. Paul Perito does.

“Overall, I truly believe that a quick operation is a better operation and that less dissection is a better surgery. This helps with patient recovery as well as decreased complications. The experience with Dr. Paul Perito, on that Friday afternoon, was a very positive experience for me.”

About the Surgery

Over the last 10 years, Dr. Paul Perito has found a marked success using his signature Perito Minimally Invasive Infrapubic Approach. This method is different in many aspects to traditional penile implant surgery. Dr. Paul Perito does not employ a scrotal incision; he uses minimal dilation of the erectile bodies; uses an artificial erection at the opening of surgery to evaluate previously unidentified pathologies; and generally performs under local anesthesia. In his method, Dr. Paul Perito uses an incision that is 1 ½ cm long and will be covered by the natural regrowth of hair in the pubic region. This not only helps to expedite recovery time but also ensures that evidence of surgery is concealed.

Dr. Paul Perito has successfully trained hundreds of urologists in his approach and currently offers a two-day training workshop at Coral Gables Hospital, where he is Director of Urology. Patients undergoing the minimally invasive infrapubic approach have achieved results that, post operatively, often surpassed the current clinical literature available regarding the traditional surgery methods.
