The Cutting-Edge Treatment Technology

Come Check out Our Deep Tissue Laser

Satisfied Patients Our therapists recently had a patient that had been experiencing severe lower back pain for over a decade. By the time he came to our clinic, his pain was so acute that when we asked him to rate it on a scale from 1–10, he gave it an 8. We recommended deep tissue laser therapy sessions for his treatment plan. After just nine sessions with us, he stood up and excitedly claimed that he was 100 percent pain-free. If you or someone you know wants more information about deep tissue laser therapy or our Litecure Medical Laser, please feel free to contact our clinic at (360) 279-8323.

In July, our physical therapists here at Rue & Primavera held an open house to introduce curious past, current, and prospective patients to our new deep tissue laser. For those who couldn’t attend or want more information, here’s a quick overview of why we love laser therapy so much. What It Treats This drug-free, surgery-free, pain-free modality quickly restores mobility and reduces pain associated with neck and back pain, sciatica, migranes, arthritis, and so much more. Laser therapy has been adopted as an essential pain management tool by athletic trainers in the NFL, MLB, and NBA. It is used to help Olympic athletes as well. After just a few

sessions using the laser, elite athletes have consistently reported being able to rejoin the team sooner than expected. How It Works Laser therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation, which is really just a fancy medical term that refers to an increase in your cells’ metabolism that allows for reduced inflammation in the body. Our Litecure Medical Laser is particularly effective because its power output is over 500 milliwatts; that’s a lot higher than any of the other lasers. This higher output means more light and energy are being released, which allows the laser’s beam to reach the painful spots that are the most difficult to get to.

Late-Summer PANZANELLA

Panzanella, a Tuscan favorite, is a salad that features hearty chunks of bread instead of leafy greens as its base. What could be better for a late-summer cookout?

• 1 small loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups) • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 2 large tomatoes, cubed • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and cubed

• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced • 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds • 20 basil leaves, chopped

• Salt, to taste • Vinaigrette

1. In a large sauté pan, set to medium-low heat and add olive oil. Add bread and 1 teaspoon salt and toss often for 10 minutes or until toasted.

2. In a large bowl, mix vegetables and herbs. Toss in bread and your favorite vinaigrette and mix again.

3. Serve immediately or let sit 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
