Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is a relatively new, non-invasive technology that uses low level lasers to treat a variety of acute and chronic pain problems. By targeting acupuncture trigger points to stimulate healing and reduce pain, Cold Laser Therapy offers a great, non-intrusive alternative for both acupuncture and surgery.

Cleared by the FDA, Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy can be used to treat a variety of problems including:

• Back Pain
• Neck Pain
• Knee Pain
• Bursitis
• Arthritis
• Tendonitis
• Muscle Strain
• Soft Tissue Injury
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Ligament Sprain
• Tennis Elbow
• Other Acute and Chronic Pain

How does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

Dr. Les Pachter D.C. uses a handheld device, about the size of a flashlight, and places it over the injured area for 30 second-several minute intervals. Non-thermal photons of light penetrate the first 2-5 centimeters of the skin, which then interact with light-sensitive elements in the targeted cells.

The absorbed photons cause a reaction within the cells that promotes cell growth, reduces pain and inflammation, and improves healing time. Cold Laser Therapy treatments are often compared to the reaction of photosynthesis in plant: light is absorbed by cells and then converted to energy, which causes growth. Different sizes and doses of lasers can be prescribed for various injuries and treatments.

Chiropractic & Headaches — A Natural, Effective Headache Remedy

When the headache pain hits, it is easy to reach for a bottle of ibuprofen or acetaminophen. This might provide temporary relief, but you are only masking pain. In addition, you are adding unnecessary chemicals into your body, forcing your liver and kidneys to work overtime.

Dr. Pachter gets to the root of the problem without medication. Unlike a medical doctor, his extensive training allows him to find pinched nerves in your cervical spine that may be causing the discomfort. With a chiropractic adjustment of your neck, he is often able to release the nerve and alleviate your headache. This type of treatment is particularly helpful in the case of a headache that comes after involvement in a car accident or other serious injury .

In some cases, tension headaches may actually be caused by tight muscles in your neck or head. Frequently, when people are under significant stress, these delicate muscles tighten and go into spasm, resulting in a painful headache. Chiropractic adjustment can help this situation, but overall health and wellness changes will keep you from falling into a vicious cycle of ongoing headaches. Dr. Pachter is happy to work with you on developing a plan to cope with your stress that includes proper nutrition, relaxation and massage.
