Our Ultra Lab Tests panel, processed by Quest Diagnostics, analyzes 125+ biomarkers across key categories:
C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) detect chronic inflammation driving joint pain, stiffness, or fatigue, common in RA, gout, or tendinopathies.
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF, if reflexed) screen for RA, scleroderma, or lupus, which mimic Dupuytren’s contracture.
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxyvitamin D), magnesium, creatine kinase (CK) assess bone strength, muscle health, and joint function, critical for osteoporosis or myopathies.
Thyroid (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), hemoglobin A1c, comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP, includes glucose, calcium, liver/kidney function) evaluate energy, metabolism, and systemic health, linked to fatigue or diabetes-related joint issues.
Complete blood count (CBC), lipid panel (cholesterol, triglycerides), ferritin measure overall wellness, anemia, or cardiovascular risks that exacerbate joint problems.”
RA, AS, gout, osteoporosis, tendinopathies, Dupuytren’s mimics (e.g., scleroderma), plus contributors like low vitamin D, thyroid dysfunction, or high blood sugar.
Identifies inflammation (e.g., high CRP) or autoimmune triggers (e.g., ANA) for targeted diet/exercise plans (e.g., anti- inflammatory foods, low-impact yoga) to reduce joint pain.
Corrects deficiencies (e.g., low vitamin D: supplementation) or thyroid imbalances (e.g., low T4: lifestyle adjustments) to restore vitality.
Detects muscle damage (e.g., high CK) or bone weaknesses (e.g., low magnesium), guiding strength exercises to enhance function.
Docus AI analyzes results, delivering tailored recommendations (e.g., “High ESR: add omega-3s, reduce processed carbs”) for immediate results.
DNA Complete’s Standard Tier analyzes 100% of your DNA (~6 billion base pairs), producing ~350 reports with ~100–200 musculoskeletal-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs):
WNT2, RSPO2 SNPs indicate risk for hand tissue thickening.
HLA-DRB1, PTPN22 for autoimmune joint inflammation.
HLA-B27, ERAP1 for spinal/joint stiffness.
COL5A1, COL3A1 for classical/vascular EDS (hypermobile EDS limited).
SLC2A9, ABCG2 for uric acid metabolism issues.
GDF5, FRZB for cartilage degradation.
LRP5, VDR for bone fragility.
TNC, MMP3 for tendon injury risk.
Genetic risks for Dupuytren’s, RA, AS, EDS, gout, OA, osteoporosis, tendinopathies, guiding proactive prevention.
Identifies predispositions (e.g., HLA-DRB1 for RA), enabling early interventions to prevent joint damage.
Guides tailored plans (e.g., RA risk: joint- friendly exercises; EDS risk: stability training) to maintain mobility.
Whole-genome analysis (vs. <1% in standard tests) offers unmatched personalization, backed by Harvard geneticist Dr. George Church.
Docus AI analyzes results, delivering tailored recommendations (e.g., “High ESR: add omega-3s, reduce processed carbs”) for immediate results.
Voted top physical therapy, we’ve helped thousands eliminate pain and restore mobility using our Superior Method, rooted in Applied Functional Science (AFS). Our expertise ensures precise movement assessments for conditions like Dupuytren’s contracture or EDS.
Ulta Lab Tests’ physician-backed panel (processed by Quest Diagnostics) analyzes 125+ biomarkers with unmatched accuracy. A networked physician authorizes orders, ensuring compliance and credibility, while results guide immediate wellness plans.
DNA Complete’s whole-genome sequencing analyzes 100% of your DNA, backed by Harvard geneticist Dr. George Church. Genetic counseling (InformedDNA) translates ~350 reports into actionable prevention strategies.
Docus AI delivers tailored diet, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations based on blood results, while genetic insights enhance long-term planning, ensuring you achieve pain-free living and vitality.
“The Gold Package revealed high inflammation and low vitamin D causing my knee pain. With the 12-week plan, I’m back to golfing pain-free and have more energy than ever!”
John D., Traverse City Executive
“The Platinum Package showed my genetic risk for RA. The tailored exercises and diet plan have kept my joints healthy, and I feel confident about my future!”

Our Ulta Lab Tests panel analyzes 125+ biomarkers to uncover joint pain causes and optimize health, processed by Quest Diagnostics. Key markers include:
C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) detect chronic inflammation, common in RA, gout, or tendinopathies, guiding pain relief strategies.
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF, if reflexed) screen for RA, scleroderma, or lupus, which mimic Dupuytren’s contracture, informing targeted interventions.
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxyvitamin D), magnesium, creatine kinase (CK) assess bone strength, muscle health, and joint function, vital for osteoporosis or myopathies, supporting mobility.
Thyroid (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), hemoglobin A1c, comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP: glucose, calcium, liver/kidney function) evaluate energy and systemic health, linked to fatigue or diabetes-related joint issues.
Complete blood count (CBC), lipid panel, ferritin measure wellness, anemia, or cardiovascular risks, enhancing overall vitality.
Pinpoints inflammation, deficiencies, or autoimmune issues for personalized diet, exercise, and lifestyle plans (e.g., high CRP: anti-inflammatory diet; low vitamin D: supplementation). Reduces joint pain, boosts energy, and improves mobility for conditions like RA, AS, gout, and osteoporosis.
DNA Complete’s whole-genome sequencing analyzes 100% of your DNA (~350 reports), including ~100–200 musculoskeletal SNPs (e.g., WNT2 for Dupuytren’s, HLA-DRB1 for RA, HLA-B27 for AS, COL5A1 for EDS). It predicts risks for arthritis, Ehlers-Danlos, osteoporosis, gout, OA, and tendinopathies, empowering prevention with tailored exercises (e.g., RA: joint-friendly movements) and lifestyle changes (e.g., osteoporosis: weight-bearing activities).
Blood panel: 1–2 days (up to 7–10 for reflex tests like ANA). DNA test: 6–8 weeks, with genetic counseling to interpret results, ensuring actionable insights.
