FEATURED TREATMENTS

LASER THERAPY Laser Therapy from LightForce offers a powerful new solution for numerous painful conditions previously refractive to traditional medical care. Laser Therapy is a highly effective alternative to traditional therapies such as cortisone injections and many times even surgery for a wide range of problems. Patients can feel a profound sense of warmth with each LightForce Laser Therapy treatment as it works to provide penetrating laser light energy deep into the body to reach damaged cells and tissues. Results are typically faster than many other therapeutic modalities. Improvement can often be seen after the first treatment. DRY NEEDLING Dry needling involves insertion and repetitive manipulation of a “dry”, solid filament needle in a trigger point in order to produce an involuntary spinal cord reflex, also known as a local twitch response (LTR). This results in lasting muscle relaxation due to the release of shortened bands of muscle fibers for overactive (tight) muscles or the activation of under-active (weak) muscles. Deactivation of the trigger points can bring immediate relief of symptoms, so the therapist can immediately train the muscles to work with the newly gained pain free range of motion (ROM). THE MIRACLE WAVE ® Acoustic Pressure Wave Therapy (APWT) has been The Miracle Wave Indications Blue Manused in the medical industry for decades (especially among Veterinarians in the US and healthcare professionals in Europe and Canada). Just recently AWT was recognized as an effective, therapeutic solution for application on the human body as well. The Miracle Wave® technology shows beneficial results in helping and aiding minor musculoskeletal aches and pains, while temporarily increasing local blood circulation. CUPPING Cupping can sometimes be described as a “tissue distraction release” technique. During the cupping process, the cups are glided across different areas of the body in order to lift and separate tissue. This works to enhance the release of the interfaces between the neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. It relaxes muscles, releases trigger points, improves lymphatic flow, increases local circulation, and releases scar tissue adhesion. Evidence supports cupping as an effective treatment method for several conditions, such as chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.
