RELIEF FOR WINTER PAIN The Gift of Laser Therapy

As much as the holiday season can be about joy and togetherness, the weather can make it very uncomfortable. This is especially true if you are suffering from existing joint or muscle pain. Even if it’s an old injury, the cold weather can revive backaches and pains that seemed to be gone for good. If you’re living with pain and immobility this winter, we have something that will warm your spirits.

DEEP TISSUE LASER THERAPY

RESULTS

If you’ve read anything about our newest pain relief treatment, you’ll know it’s fast, effective, and noninvasive. In fact, the only real side effect is a warm sensation on the area under the laser’s light — something that can be especially relaxing this time of year! But, more than just warming and relaxing your muscles, our Class IV Light Force treatment helps your body help itself!

This safe, FDA-cleared treatment is fast and effective. In fact, most patients see results in three to five short treatments. Because it simply uses light to stimulate your body’s natural processes, it doesn’t have the harmful or long-lasting side effects of painkillers or surgery. It’s noninvasive and can treat a wide variety of conditions, including sore muscles and chronic pain. So, if you’re living with discomfort this holiday season, please reach out to us. Even if laser treatment isn’t right for you, our team can help you find the relief you deserve. Give yourself the gift of good health before the new year starts! Give us a call at 732-499-4540.

HOW IT WORKS

Deep tissue laser therapy energizes your body on the molecular level. Cells, especially those in our muscles, have little “powerhouses” called mitochondria, which can be stimulated by light. The laser focuses light rays to reach deeply into your muscle tissue, where they “charge” these microscopic batteries. With this extra boost, your body can more effectively relieve pain and heal damaged tissue. It’s as simple as that!
