Few doctors have research knowledge outside of their chosen speciality. This means that a whole-person approach to health can be difficult to achieve. Before training as a consultant in Sports Medicine, Dr Stacey regularly authored a number of medical texts include 'Hot Topics in General Practice' which at the time, was a BMJ top 10 bestseller. Researching these books required Dr Stacey to read hundreds of research papers dealing with a broad span of health topics, thus leaving her with a wide ranging knowledge of health.

Your health reflects the environment you inhabit
Dr Stacey is especially interested in how your environment affects musculoskeletal health, performance and wellbeing. Dr Stacey has found that musculoskeletal conditions that do not respond to conventional treatment are often linked to poor gut health and increased levels of environmental toxins. Injury to the gut internal environment, together with toxin load, taxes the inflammatory and immune mechanisms in the body. The body copes for a while (using up valuable resources such as vitamins and anti-oxidants) until the inflammatory challenge becomes too great. That's when symptoms happen! Dis-ease and dis-orders, including chronic musculoskeletal conditions, are symptoms of the silent inflammatory war which the body may have been fighting for may years.
More and more people want to understand their health and take control of their health journey. Understanding your health means understanding the influences on your whole system. Taking an whole-person approach including looking at the gut, the immune system and environmental toxin levels (as well as looking at more standard musculoskeletal tests) often tells a story that allows a more comprehensive plan for return to health or Well-th!

Toxins
Today's health check should involve an analysis of environmental toxins. I find that moulds, chemicals and heavy metals are the silent offenders and are linked to many chronic diseases. Reaching optimum health is about understanding these 'influencers' in your environment. Dr Ese can help you formulate a Whole-Person Plan to return your Well-th! |
Diagnostic Ultrasound & Shockwave therapy
Fibromyalgia may respond to Shockwave therapy.
Ultrasound scanning can diagnose tendonitis, bursitis and tendon/ligament tears. It's much quicker and cheaper than MRI and is available at Brighton Sports Medicine. Shockwave therapy is great for treating tendon conditions and tight muscles and is also available at Brighton Sports Medicine. |
