Laser/ Light Therapy:

Low level laser & LED Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects.  These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.  The light may be provided by a low power laser or LED (light emitting diode).  Laser emits energy in a form of photons; these particles of energy are absorbed by cells and tissue resulting in conversion of light into biochemical energy.  Multiple physiological  responses are thereby initiated and normal cell function is restored.  This process is curative and eliminates symptoms (i.e. pain, edema, etc.)

Acupuncture has helped billions of people over the past 5,000 years. Like Chiropractic, the goal of acupuncture is to activate the natural, self-healing abilities of the body to restore health and promote wellness. An acupuncture treatment consists of the shallow insertion of extremely fine, sterile and disposable needles into a small number of selected points on the surface of the body. The needles may cause sensations such as dullness or tingling; but are virtually painless. Most patients find acupuncture a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Usually, the needles are left in place from one to twenty minutes. A treatment plan may consist of 10-12 treatments, depending on the condition and health goals of the patient.
