It helps your skin revitalize collagen and elastin production, which helps create tighter, firmer skin. Microneedling can be used for acne, hair loss, dark spots, large pores, scars, stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles. At Northern Medical Center, we use AQUAGOLD microneedling technology.

We specialize in gentle, effective treatments to restore that natural, youthful glow. What to expect: Microneedling usually takes 10-20 minutes. We use a numbing cream on your face so you won’t feel the tiny needles. You may experience some redness, swelling, or raised bumps after treatment. You should avoid using retinol and other harsh skin treatments, such as peels, for several days prior to the treatment. Most people need 4-6 microneedling treatments to see a dramatic difference. Newa Newa works to contour and tighten your face using FDA-approved 3DEEP RF technology. The home based treatments are safe and pain-free to lift the face and reduce wrinkles. What to expect: It is recommended you perform a full treatment series 4-5 times a week at home for a period of a month to receive greater contouring of the face and reduction in wrinkles.

• DOT Physicals

  At Northern Medical Center, you can get your Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam done by a Medical Examiner certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). When is a DOT Physical Required? A DOT physical helps to determine if a driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a commercial motor vehicle. An exam may be requested if the driver wishes to operate a commercial vehicle across state lines (also called “interstate driving”). Intrastate drivers, or drivers that stay within one state, may also require a DOT physical, depending on the regulations that are specific to a particular state. Some drivers may also choose to undergo the physical and obtain a commercial driver’s license to improve their candidacy for a job. What to Expect During a DOT Physical Examination Medical History During a DOT physical, the driver will be asked to provide background on their medical history, including past surgeries, medications taken, and history of health conditions. Vitals Test Vitals testing includes measuring the person’s pulse, height, weight, and blood pressure. The FMCSA also requires a urinalysis test, which looks at the protein, blood, and sugar in a urine sample to rule out underlying medical problems. Vision Test The FMSCA also requires vision testing to ensure drivers meet the standard of at least 20/40 vision acuity in each eye, with or without correction (glasses or contacts), and at least a 70 degree field of vision in a horizontal meridian. Hearing Test Drivers may receive a whisper test of their hearing. During this test, the examiner will record the distance from the driver at which a forced whispered voice can be heard.Hearing can also be evaluated through an audiometry test. An audiometry test is a way to measure the ability to hear sounds at different frequencies, to determine if the driver has experienced hearing loss. Physical Examination During a physical examination, the examiner will first evaluate the general physical appearance for things such as obesity and other medical conditions, and then examine the various bodily systems, including heart, lungs, extremities, the neurological system, and more. How to Prepare for a DOT Physical at Northern Medical Center In general, the DOT physical itself should take approximately 45 minutes, so be sure to plan accordingly. Before arriving for a DOT physical, it is important to gather the necessary information and documents to bring. You should bring: A valid driver’s license List of current medications List of past surgeries and medical conditions List of any allergies Most recent DOT certificate, if renewing your certificate Additionally, if you have any pre-existing conditions that require additional paperwork, you should bring the necessary documentation. Examples of additional documentation include a copy of a stress test or echocardiogram for those with a coronary disease, or completed medical exemptions for vision, hearing, or seizure disorders. Obtaining Your Certificate If the Medical Examiner determines that you are qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in accordance with the physical qualification standards, the Medical Examiner will complete and provide you with a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) Form MCSA-5876. How Long is the Certificate Valid For? A DOT physical exam is valid for up to 24 months. However, the medical examiner may also issue a medical examiner’s certificate for less than 24 months when it is desirable to monitor a condition, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea.

• TMS for Depression

  Revolutionizing Depression Treatment: Safe and Effective NeuroStar TMS Depression is a serious and common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It can cause feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and people can lose interest in life in general. In severe cases, depression can lead to suicide. Traditional treatments for depression include antidepressant medication and talk therapy, but these treatments are not effective for everyone. For those individuals, NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may be a viable alternative treatment option. NeuroStar TMS is a noninvasive, FDA-cleared treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. TMS therapy is a safe and effective treatment for adults who have not seen improvement from antidepressant medication. It is also a viable option for those who cannot tolerate the side effects of medication or who prefer not to take medication for their depression. Over 3 million treatments delivered 7 in 10 people experienced significant improvement 37% of patients achieved remission of depression symptoms Long-lasting symptom relief What to Expect in TMS Therapy? 1 Magnetic coil placed 2 Improved mood regulation 3 5 treatments/week, 6 weeks 4 No downtime required During a TMS treatment session, an insulated magnetic coil is placed against the scalp near the forehead. Magnetic pulses can cause small electrical currents to flow in the neurons in the brain, which can affect their activity levels and improve the patient’s mood regulation. Each treatment session lasts about 20 minutes and is typically administered five times a week, for six weeks, followed by six treatment sessions to phase out gradually. You might experience a light tapping sensation during the session that can diminish with successive treatments. The treatment is performed while you are awake and alert, and you can drive and carry on with your regular routine immediately after treatment sessions. What Are the Advantages of TMS? TMS therapy has fewer side effects compared to medication. Patients may feel scalp discomfort at the site of the magnetic coil, and tingling or spasms in the face during the TMS treatment sessions. Some patients may experience mild to moderate headaches. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. It would not cause drowsiness, weight gain, or sexual dysfunction, or other side effects patients may experience by using medication for depression. TMS therapy is overall well-tolerated, and patients can continue their work and normal daily activities during the weeks of TMS treatment. Am I A Good Fit for TMS? It’s important to note that TMS therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as a seizure disorder, or those who have metal in their head or brain, may not be able to receive TMS therapy. Additionally, TMS therapy may not be covered by all insurance plans, so it is important to check with your insurance provider to see if it is covered.
