RADIAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY:
Storz Medical Wave Technology
What is Radial Shock Wave?
We have an alternative that is FDA approved, and can save you time and even money, and it WORKS! Here's how...
Has your doctor prescribed physical therapy or suggested you have surgery to stop your pain? PT takes weeks and hours of your precious time. Surgeries are invasive and often require rehabilitation and weeks of healing. Sometimes, neither correct the problem, and may even create a new one. Deductibles and copays add up and can cost you hundreds out-of-pocket.
Accelerate Healing With Pressure Wave Therapy
There are no side effects with this non-surgical treatment and it is available at a reasonable cost. Pressure wave treatments are non-invasive and promote accelerated recovery of injured soft tissue, bone, heel and joint pain. A pressure wave is an intense, but very short energy wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. The basic technology involved with extracorporeal pressure wave technology has been used for decades on millions of people and animals. Therapy sessions are short, usually 4 – 5 minutes in length, and provide successful relief of chronic pain and restore mobility painlessly. Permanent relief typically begins about 72 hours following treatment.
Discounted packages are available.
COLD LASER THERAPY:
The Vectra Genisys Laser Therapy System
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a relatively new technology (about 30 years old). The first cold laser was FDA cleared in 2001. Cold lasers are sometimes called Low Level Lasers (LLL) or soft lasers. The cold laser produces an impulse of light at a specific wavelength (usually 600 to 980nm) that minimizes reflection and scattering but maximizes absorption of the energy (in photons) at a desired depth.
Cold laser therapy offers a non-intrusive option to acupuncture and surgery. It also provides a non-addicting treatment that eliminates the complications of long-term drug treatment programs.
Healing With the Vectra Genisys Cold Laser:
We chose the Vectra Genisys cold laser because it works synergistically with other modalities like chiropractic and acupuncture.
The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy units from red and infrared laser radiation--called photons-- to damaged cells. It is the consensus of experts is that photons absorbed by the cells through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate production of ATP. This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to transform live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state. Some conditions like joint pain require a deep penetration (4-5 inches) that can only be achieved using a powerful laser emitter.
*Over 4,000 studies have been conducted in recent years to validate the effectiveness of cold laser therapy. Cold laser treatment systems may be cleared by the FDA.
