Targeted supplement support for nerve health, antioxidant defense, cellular energy, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Dovie may recommend targeted vitamins and supplements as part of an individualized nerve-health plan. Supplements are intended to support the body and overall nerve health and are not a cure for CRPS, neuropathy, or another medical condition.
MitoCORE is a comprehensive nutritional supplement designed to support mitochondrial health, cellular energy production, antioxidant defenses, immune function, and overall neurologic health.
Because healthy nerve function depends heavily on cellular energy and nutritional support, Dovie may recommend MitoCORE as part of an individualized nerve-health plan.
Supplements are intended to support the body and overall nerve health and should not be presented as a cure for CRPS, neuropathy, or another medical condition.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that may be used as part of a nutritional strategy to support nerve health and healthy cellular function.
Dovie may recommend Alpha Lipoic Acid for certain patients as part of a broader nerve-support plan. The specific product and appropriate amount should be based on the individual patient.
Vitamin D plays an important role in bone health, immune function, muscle function, and overall health. Vitamin K2 is commonly paired with Vitamin D3 to complement its role in healthy calcium metabolism.
Dovie may recommend Vitamin D3 + K2 as part of an individualized nutritional plan. Patients should work with their healthcare provider to evaluate their Vitamin D level and determine an appropriate amount.
Vitamin C provides antioxidant support and plays an important role in collagen formation, immune function, and normal tissue health.
It may be discussed as supportive nutrition within a broader nerve-health plan. Vitamin C is not a cure for CRPS, neuropathy, or chronic pain.
Patients considering higher amounts of Vitamin C should discuss this with their healthcare provider, particularly if they have a history of kidney stones, kidney disease, iron-overload conditions, or other medical concerns.

After surgery, your body requires specific nutrients to promote tissue and bone healing. Protein, calcium, and Vitamin D3 are crucial for this process. Initially, protein serves as the foundation for bone building, followed by the incorporation of calcium into the protein structure to form strong bones. Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in regulating bone formation. To ensure optimal recovery, it’s essential to maintain adequate levels of these nutrients through a balanced diet and targeted supplementation during the first three months post-surgery.
Calcium is critical for maintaining healthy bones and achieving a solid fusion after surgery. Typically, it takes about 2-3 months for your body to fully develop a solid fusion. During this healing phase, providing your body with sufficient calcium is paramount. However, not all calcium supplements are equally effective. Calcium citrate and calcium aspartate are preferred because they are more easily absorbed by the digestive tract, ensuring that your body gets the calcium it needs.
We recommend Metagenics Calcium , which is available at our office or can be purchased online through the Metagenics website or the Vitamin Shop. This supplement not only provides easily absorbable calcium but also includes essential minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and manganese, all of which support bone healing.
Post-Surgery Calcium Dosage:
First 3 Months: 1,500 mg of calcium daily, divided into two doses—one in the morning and one in the evening.
After 3 Months: Women over 40 should continue taking calcium daily, reducing the dosage to 1,200 mg per day.
Vitamin D is a powerful antioxidant essential for regulating blood calcium levels and supporting bone metabolism. It is necessary for proper bone formation and helps prevent osteoporosis. Additionally, Vitamin D has been linked to a reduced risk of 25 different types of cancer.
In our practice, we’ve observed that 85% of our patients have significant Vitamin D deficiencies. Low Vitamin D levels can impede or delay proper bone healing after surgery. Therefore, maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels post-operatively is crucial for optimal bone formation and recovery.
Vitamin D Supplementation:
We test all patients’ Vitamin D levels before surgery.
A daily dose of 5,000 IU (International Units) of Vitamin D is recommended.
If severe deficiency is detected, we will adjust the dosage accordingly for 3 months, followed by a recheck of Vitamin D levels and further dosage adjustments as needed.
A free initial phone consultation is available. We will talk through your history and whether treatment may be appropriate.
Depending on the patient, the clinic may discuss MitoCORE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin D3 + K2, and Vitamin C as part of a nerve-support plan.
They are often used together as part of a nerve-support plan, but the right combination and amounts depend on your health history and current medications. Review them with Dovie or your healthcare provider first.
Nutritional support is not immediate. Dovie generally recommends allowing about 100 days, or roughly 14 weeks, for consistent nutritional support. Individual needs and response can vary.
No. Vitamin C is supportive care and part of a comprehensive nerve-health plan, not a cure.
