Welcome to our project!
My name is Gregory Taylor and I am an instructor at the New York College
of Podiatric Medicine. Our team is on a mission to share scientific information
with both doctors and patients…
Did you know that there is another way to deliver medicine
without sticking a needle through your skin?
It's called iontophoresis: medicine delivery via direct current.
This technique has been a regular part
of a physical therapist's treatment plan for decades; however, I still
encounter doctors and patients that are not aware of this needle-free
drug delivery option.
Our team's latest research project focuses on reducing the
painful effects of abnormal bone growth on various body parts. Physical stress
can cause excess bone growths, creating debilitating pain on tendons,
ligaments, and joints.
The application of acetic acid via iontophoresis can reduce the calcifications that can
cause severe pain, with no
injections necessary.
Our research data includes objective information and
radiographic images that show the positive results of this treatment option.
The next step is to spread the word.
The good
news is
that our team's research has been selected to be presented at the massive
annual conference of the American
College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons in Phoenix, Arizona in February, 2015.
The next step is getting there, and that's how YOU can help.
Our 5-member team needs to cover the cost of conference fees,
airfare, and hotel stay.
Our team is comprised of myself and 4 medical students from the New
York College of Podiatric Medicine.
Helping us reach this goal means you are helping us spread
this valuable information as well as helping inspire and shape the future of
medicine.
Thank you for your support!
