Is it the Bee’s Knees?

The term the bees knees means excellent… Laser Therapy could have your knees feeling just that way!

Knee pain is not always related to an underlying condition it may be caused by:

•Injury
•Fracture
•Over use
•Sitting for long hours

The location and severity of knee pain may vary, depending on the cause of the problem. Signs and symptoms at sometime accompany knee pain include swelling and stiffness, redness and warmth to the touch, a popping or crunching noise and or the inability to fully straighten the knee. This can all be very frustrating for an individual and create stress on top of the pain.

Let me help you and have you feeling “excellent” again!

Seems a fitting post since I myself and many patients with the humidity and pressure this week have had a lot of headaches/migraines ☹️

Did you know that there are over 150 types of headaches ? The most common types include:

Migraine Headaches
Migraine headaches are often described as throbbing and pounding. They can last from 4 hours to 3 days and usually happen one to four times a month. Along with pain people often have other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light, noise or smells; nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and upset belly and stomach

Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are the most common types of headaches among adult and teens. They cause mild to moderate pain and come and go over time. They usually have no other symptoms.

Don’t let these interfere with your daily life anymore. Find out how laser can help you !

Do you love running but have pain afterwards?

A throbbing ache runs along the front of your shins. Don’t panic. You’re likely suffering from shin splints or medial tibial stress syndrome.

Shin splints are an example of an overuse injury. Repetitive stress causes the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues along your tibia your shin bone to become inflamed. And that inflammation leads to soreness. You may even notice some mild swelling on your lower leg.

This is a common lower leg injury that you can treat with laser therapy… Find out how!

Did you know…
Laser therapy only works if the correct amount of light is absorbed?

Laser Therapy which is also known as photobimodulation therapy can also be ineffective if too little or too much light is used.

I have been using the Bioflex laser therapy system for 19+ years. Bioflex ensures good results since it’s based on over 30 years of clinical use that has resulted in the development of specific body protocols.

All of these protocols have been tested to ensure that just the right amount of light absorbed by the targeted injured area results in decreased pain, inflammation, and accelerated healing.

Cervical disc herniation is a common medical condition, affecting millions of people worldwide.

It occurs when the cushioning discs located in the cervical spine (the neck) rupture or bulge, causing pressure on the nerves and resulting in pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, arms, and shoulders. While there are several treatment options available for this condition, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a promising alternative therapy in recent years.

Message me if this affects you or someone you know!

Research Reports….
I recently read on the Bioflex Laser Therapy page that a new Canadian study has found that using anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids after someone has sustained an injury may actually increase the chances of developing chronic pain.

Laser therapy has been proven to decrease inflammatory mediators that cause pain and is a safe and effective alternative to drugs.

I have seen firsthand patients who take a regular cocktail of pain pills be able to decrease some or all of their pain pills from their daily pain management regiment just by having Laser Therapy.

I’m sure that everybody is happy that the weather is finally warming up (or scorching up) and most people are eager to strap on those running shoes, get out those bicycles and are getting ready to hit up the golf course

As we come out of winter hibernation, and start shedding the clothes (and Pounds for some Lol) and begin to return to our recreational sports, injuries and accidents can occur.

To help prevent injuries, always remember to:
☑️ Return to the sport gradually and ramp up slowly week by week.
☑️ Warm up before activities for 10 to 15 minutes
☑️ Always keep yourself hydrated during activity
☑️ Lastly, take a break if you feel pain or discomfort at any time

Even with these tips and taking all the caution you can, accidents still happen. And when they do… Laser therapy can help. Laser therapy is used to heal sports injuries quickly and even help with muscle soreness for those challenging training sessions/workouts.
