If you read my article regularly, I have written about cold laser before. With the advancement of health care, I don’t think anything has advanced as much as laser therapy. I have been asked many times about the laser’s ability to help with wound care.

Research in the field of laser therapy on wound healing has shown that it can positively enhance and accelerate the anti-inflammatory process, collagen production and remodeling phases of wound healing. Studies show that Low-level laser therapy provided a significant decrease in the severity of the inflammatory response in the late phases of wound healing.

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical, non-narcotic answer for disc-related problems of the neck and low back. Many people across the country and around the world have found relief from the pain associated with herniated discs, bulging discs, facet syndrome, degenerative joint disease, pinched nerves, and other spinal afflictions through the use of Decompression Therapy. Unlike fixed traction, Spinal Decompression offers a cyclic stretching and relaxation action to help prevent muscle spasms. This action allows damaged discs to reposition themselves back to their normal position. Spinal Disc Decompression Therapy uses a computer-aided modality to apply a gentle, non-surgical decompressive force to a targeted disc, thus helping to relieve the symptoms that cause pain and dysfunction.
