Class 4 Laser Therapy

Class 4 laser therapy delivers light energy to the painful affected tissues. This light energy triggers a photochemical reaction in the cells, leading to a cascade of beneficial effects:  

  • Increased Blood Flow: Laser therapy can increase blood flow to the injured area, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to promote healing.  

  • Reduced Inflammation: Laser therapy can help reduce inflammation, a key factor in many pain conditions.  

  • Stimulated Tissue Regeneration: Laser therapy can stimulate the growth and repair of damaged tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments

Benefits
  • Non-invasive and Safe: Class 4 laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects, making it a safe option for many patients.  

  • Accelerated Healing: The laser light stimulates cellular activity, promoting faster tissue repair and regeneration.

  • Reduces the need for pharmaceuticals

  • Pain Reduction: Laser therapy can reduce pain by decreasing inflammation and stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. 

  • Pain relief: Laser therapy can help to relieve pain from a variety of conditions, including arthritis, muscle pain, and nerve pain. It is thought to work by stimulating the body's natural healing processes.

  • Wound healing: Laser therapy can help to accelerate wound healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. It can also be used to treat chronic wounds that are slow to heal.

  • Inflammation reduction: Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation, which can be a symptom of many different conditions. This can help to improve pain, swelling, and stiffness.

  • Increased range of motion: Laser therapy can help to improve range of motion by reducing pain and inflammation in the joints.

  • Tissue repair: Laser therapy can help to stimulate tissue repair, which can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including sports injuries and chronic wounds.

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy works by delivering a non-invasive high-energy acoustic sound waves to the injured tissue. These sound waves create a controlled microtrauma, which triggers the body's natural healing response to focused areas of the body. This leads to:  

  • Increased blood flow to the injured area  

  • Stimulation of collagen production  

  • Breakdown of calcium deposits  

  • Reduction of pain

​

Benefits

  • Non-invasive: Focused shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure, meaning it does not require any incisions or injections. This makes it a safe and convenient option for many patients.

  • Targeted Treatment: Focused shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to a specific area of the body. This allows for precise targeting of the injured tissue, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Stimulates Healing: Focused shockwave therapy works by creating a controlled microtrauma in the injured tissue. This triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to increased blood flow, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.

  • Reduces Pain: Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain by breaking down calcium deposits, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.

  • Improves Function: Focused shockwave therapy can help improve function by reducing pain, increasing range of motion, and promoting tissue healing.

  • Short Treatment Time: Focused shockwave therapy sessions typically last between 10 and 20 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy patients.

  • Long-lasting Results: The benefits of focused shockwave therapy can last for months or even years, providing long-term relief from pain and improved function.

Conditions that can be treated

  • Tendinopathies:

    • Plantar Fasciitis: This common condition causes heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, and promote healing of the plantar fascia.  

    • Achilles Tendinopathy: This condition affects the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, and promote healing of the Achilles tendon.  

    • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: This condition affects the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, and improve shoulder function.  

    • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) & Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): These conditions affect the tendons in the elbow. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, and improve elbow function.  

    • Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee): This condition affects the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, and improve knee function.  

  • 2. Other Musculoskeletal Conditions:

    • Hip Pain: Focused shockwave therapy can be used to treat various hip conditions, such as trochanteric bursitis and gluteal tendinopathy.  

    • Knee Pain: In addition to patellar tendinopathy, focused shockwave therapy can also be used to treat other knee conditions, such as osteoarthritis and ligament injuries.  

    • Back Pain: Focused shockwave therapy may be helpful for certain types of back pain, such as myofascial pain syndrome and facet joint dysfunction.  

    • Morton's Neuroma: This condition affects the nerves in the foot, causing pain and numbness in the toes. Focused shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and improve nerve function.  

    • Calcific Tendinitis: This condition involves the formation of calcium deposits in tendons, often in the shoulder. Focused shockwave therapy can help break up these deposits and reduce pain.  

    • Non-union Fractures: In some cases, focused shockwave therapy may be used to promote healing in fractures that have not healed properly. â€‹

Benefits

  • Pain Relief: By reducing pressure on nerves and other structures in the spine, decompression therapy can help alleviate pain associated with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.  

  • Improved Function: As pain decreases and pressure is relieved, individuals may experience improved spinal function, including increased range of motion and reduced muscle stiffness.  

  • Healing Promotion: Decompression therapy can help create a negative pressure within the discs, which may promote the influx of nutrients and fluids, facilitating healing and reducing inflammation.  

  • Non-Surgical Option: Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option, making it a less risky alternative to surgical procedures for certain spinal conditions.  

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that aims to relieve pain and other symptoms associated with spinal conditions. It involves gently stretching the spine using a specialized device, which creates space between the vertebrae and reduces pressure on the discs, nerves, and other structures in the spine.

 

The following steps are involved:

  • Patient Positioning: The patient lies on a motorized table, either face up or face down, depending on the specific condition and the type of decompression device being used.  

  • Harness Application: A harness is placed around the patient's hips or chest, which is then attached to the decompression device.  

  • Controlled Stretching: The device gently and slowly stretches the spine, creating a distraction force that separates the vertebrae.  

  • Cycling Motion: The device may cycle through periods of stretching and relaxation, further promoting decompression and fluid exchange within the discs.  

  • Treatment Duration: A typical spinal decompression therapy session lasts for about 30-45 minutes.  â€‹â€‹

Conditions that can be treated

  • Herniated Discs  

  • Degenerative Disc Disease  

  • Sciatica  

  • Spinal Stenosis  

  • Facet Joint Syndrome  

  • Chronic Back Pain
