Chronic Pain? Trying to Avoid Orthopedic Surgery? | Ep 45 | Fountain of Vitality
A man tore the same Achilles tendon for the third time. Two surgeries had failed, and the surgeons wanted to transplant a tendon from a cadaver. Dr. Sean Altman took a different path. Ultrasound guided needle electrolysis, laser therapy, and a loading program helped the body heal the tear on its own. Twelve weeks later he ran a 5K. One year later, he ran two half marathons with his son. He is in his late 60s and feels like he could conquer the world.

In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Sean Altman, a doctor of orthopedic functional medicine, will explore why two people with the same arthritis can feel completely different pain, and what it takes to treat the root cause instead of the symptom. Dr. Altman breaks down the self healing modalities behind his work, including laser therapy, shockwave therapy, PEMF, and frequency specific micro-current. He explains why sleep quality is the first thing he checks, how detoxification protects the brain over decades, and why the patient has to be an active teammate in their own recovery.
If you have been told surgery is your only option, this conversation offers another way to think about healing.
