or those suffering from chronic pain the long list of fa iled medshyications and treatments can easshy

ily become discouraging But along the shores of Lake Minnetonka is a cl inic that offers hope for people who have tried everything or been told they need to learn to live with pain

After opening a solo practice in 1996 Deephaven native Mark Wheaton MD founded the Lakeside Sports and Pain Cl inic near downtown Excelsior in 2001 to provide natura l solutions for deal ing with pain and chron ic disorders Wheaton quickly rea lized that one treatment perspective doesnt provide relief for every patient and the best strategy would be a comshybination of specialists working together So throughout the past 11 years he has developed relationships with comshyplementary practices and now shares his office with two excellent practitionshyers Ernest Huhta CMAT EASS and Theresa Plasencia MSPT Together they address everything from muscle stra ins to complex chronic cond itions

Further Wheaton understands his patients pain-after all he was a chronshyic pain patient once too From 1976 to 1981 Wheaton played tennis at the University of Minnesota and severely injured his lower back As he dealt with the pain he went on to graduate with a degree in physiology and then a medshyical degree from George Washington University Medical School After internshyship residency and a sports medicine fellowship In Ca lifornia Wheaton remembers a conversation with a colshyleague about a little known procedure Prolotherapy

It sounded intriguing Wheaton says At first I was a skeptic but as I studied the technique it made a lot of

sense to me Following a comprehenshysive Prolotherapy training course for physicians in 1996 Wheaton began adding the treatment option for his patients and because of his history of low back pain he too became a patient Because of this Wheaton says I can tell my patients what it will be like before they begin It gives peoshyple reassurance to know that Ive been through the treatment and have dealt with chronic pain

Prolotherapy is perfect for Wheatons practice because it is natural in that it triggers the bodys own healing process to strengthen and repair injured tissues There are no drugs involved Instead healing is achieved by injecting an allshynatural solution at the source of pain This jump-starts the growth of new tisshysue which repairs the injury and elimishynates the problem rather than just covshyering up the symptoms

Prolotherapy isnt well-known and there are only about 800 Prolotherapists throughout the country Wheaton is a renowned Prolotherapist having learned from one of the pioneers of the method Dr Gus Hemwall He is a conshytributing author to the book Prolo Your Sports Injuries Away and is an instructor in the specialized technique Patients travel from across the country to see

Ernest Huhta CMAT EASS founded Naturale Alternatives Inc in 1990 in Menahga Minn three hours northshywest of Minneapolis With extensive training in muscle dysfunction Ernest brings a tremendous amount of knowlshyedge and experience to chronic pain conditions He specializes in electroacushytherapy deep muscle therapy myofasshycialmyolymphatic massage reflexoloshygy and a host of other alternative techniques These two practitioners came together in 1998 because Ernest previously had witnessed the benefits of Prolotherapy in many of his patients While Wheaton stabilizes joints Ernest resolves patients muscle spasms and scar tissue with his techniques Ernest brings a team of massage therapists with him to the Exselsior clinic twice a

month focusing on muscle injury lymshyphatic complications and scar tissue For those patients who require the comshybined effects of both Prolotherapy and muscle work the results are powerful Dr Wheaton and I work together to come up with ways to resolve injuries We provide alternatives for people who have tried everything Huhta says
