Light Heals – Cold Wave Laser Therapy

Did you know that Back in Balance is one of only a handful of clinics in Ottawa that are able to offer Low Level Laser therapy?  This totally non-invasive treatment, that has no known adverse effects uses specific wavelengths of light to promote healing in the body, improve mobility and reduce pain and inflammation.  It’s an ideal treatment sports injuries, chronic pain, plantar fasciitis sprains\strains and more; and our patients have been getting some great results.
The cold laser therapy has essentially eliminated the chronic pain and stiffness left from an old ankle fracture.
I would highly recommend giving these modalities a try!

For nearly three years I lived with daily pain from a pinched nerve in my back. I did exercises to strengthen core muscles, and played lots of sports. Took anti-inflammatory drugs when it got bad. I learned to live with the constant discomfort. Then, I tried low-level laser treatment.  It worked! No pain, no problem. I also used the cold laser to treat a bad thumb sprain (hockey injury).  It worked again. No needles, no drugs… just a beam of light and presto! OK… it took a couple of days to take effect, but laser is like sci-fi medicine that works.  Great stuff.

A Party in Your Spine

So what’s with the popping associated with certain types of Chiropractic adjustments?  Isn’t cracking your joints supposed to be bad for you?

Not all Chiropractic techniques involve the ‘cavitation’ of joints (the escape of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure).  Some use table or instrument assisted adjustments where no appreciable cavitation is experienced.  The ones that do however are no less safe, comfortable and effective at reducing spinal fixation, clearing nerve interference (subluxations) and improving your health.  As a matter of fact, it’s been shown by John Hopkins University that joint cavitation (specifically in the hand) does not contribute to the formation of arthritis as once believed!

When you hear the noise from a professionally delivered adjustment, it’s similar to the pressure release you get from opening a bottle of champagne.  It’s like having a party in your spine!  Ultimately, with less pressure your joints move better, line up better and just plain feel better.
