The ability to prevent aging, and in turn, maintain muscle strength, vigor, and vitality is an important concept in orthopedic medicine. We don't mind getting older; what we do mind is feeling old. The ability to use nutrition, exercise, and the judicious, ethical prescribing of bio-identical hormone replacement including the replacement of testosterone and human growth hormone can retard the aging process, and may even prevent so-called diseases of aging.
If you are interested in discussing with Dr. Cooper this facet of his practice, call the Knee Center and mention you are interested in coming in for a consultation. You will receive updated information on fees and office visits.
