Summer Maintenance Care

After a long wet winter, summer is finally just around the corner… or at least we hope it is. As the weather gets warmer and the days grow longer, we tend to get busier and pack our days with adventure from sun up to sun down. Whether it be water sports, golfing, hiking, fishing, a tropical vacation, a wedding, a cook-out, or just continued yard maintenance, maintaining proper skeletal alignment can help prevent injury and allow you to move your best all summer long. After being sedentary for the past 8 months, our muscles can’t adapt quickly enough to this rapid increase in activity and they become tight and imbalanced, altering our biomechanics which leads to joints becoming irritated, restricted, and inflamed, and this is when injury occurs.

A maintenance care plan can be done bi-weekly or even monthly and will take no more than 15 minutes out of your busy, hot summer day. After a quick assessment your doctor will be able to identify a potential problem area, even before symptoms arise, as pain tends to be the last thing to show up yet the first to leave. Some simple muscle work, an adjustment, home care advice and potentially some k-tape can all be covered in that time slot and may be the difference between you and a pain free summer. Call today and get your appointments in the books so that you can move your best all summer long!

Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

Do you have an area of nagging aches and pains that hasn’t resolved despite numerous trials of manual/physical therapy?

Drugs will likely only mask the issue at hand and surgeries should be saved as a last resort option.

Our Class IV Deep Tissue Laser from Lightforce can help resolve issues such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, fasciitis, arthritis, and basic tissue repair. It works by emitting a beam of infrared light, and a process known as photobiomodulation, which allows the cells to convert this energy absorbed from the light into energy to aid in cellular repair. Laser therapy also promotes blood flow to the area, further promoting tissue repair while providing a soothing warmth to the tissues. Treatments are pain free and typically last between 3 and 15 minutes depending on the area being treated. Call today and schedule your first laser treatment, or meet with one of our doctors and learn more about how laser therapy can benefit you.
