Musculoskeletal Injuries : Wait and see what happens or go to a Chiropractor

Over the years I have seen patients with many types of injuries.  Every injury is at a different stage in the healing process. The faster you receive treatment, the faster you will heal. An acute injury can lead to a chronic condition if you wait and do nothing and may lead to loss of mobility, flexibility, strength, muscle tone, and even affect your comfort level will your daily activities.  

If you have any questions about an injury, please consider having it evaluated by a chiropractor.  We may not be able to help all injuries, but as a chiropractor I have been well trained to evaluate, diagnose and recommend care for most muscle, joint, ligament and nerve related issues. We offer chiropractic care, K-Laser therapy, massage and acupuncture.

Class 4 Laser therapy vs. Cold Laser therapy


 https://www.lastarzawellness.com

Class 4 Laser Therapy in Rockledge Florida

La Starza Wellness K-Laser Class 4 Laser therapy




There are many classes of lasers on the market today.  Class 3A lasers( also known as cold laser) have an output of 5 milliwatts (.005Watts).  It takes about 3 and a half minutes for a 5mW laser to produce one Joule of energy.  Class 3B lasers are similar except they may have multiple emitters in one applicator, thus total powers in excess of Class 3B limits without having the device to be re-classified as Class 4.  Class 3B lasers are capable of eye injury from reflection or direct viewing of the laser beam(s).

Class 4 lasers use a single emitter that exceeds 500mW.  Class 4 lasers are the highest power; so any laser above 500mW.   Here at La Starza Wellness, we use the K-Laser K-Cube.  The K-Laser K-Cube is the first patent pending therapy to incorporate up to 4 diodes that target the bodys natural light absorbing complexes.  905nm, 970nm, 660nm, and 800nm are the various wavelengths used with the K-Laser K-Cube.  We have helped many patients with their PAIN; both Chronic and acute. Call or stop by our office anytime to see if your a candidate for K-Laser K-Cube therapy.

Back pain is a very common reason someone comes to La Starza Wellness in Rockledge.  If you are in pain, you should never stretch yet.  Stretching should be done after the inflammation and pain has gone down and the pain has decreased significantly.  Never start any stretching and/or an exercise program unless you talk to your Doctor first.  When stretching, make sure it does not hurt.  If so, back off and dont push so far as your mobility and range of motion will improve over time.

Chiropractor in Rockledge talks about STEM CELL TREATMENT WARNING SIGNS


LASTARZAWELLNESS.COM





Many patients are confused when it comes to stem cell treatments.   Patients have 2 questions; 'Should I do it and can I?'"  If the patent can do it, then they assume that "they should" do it and that can be very dangerous. There needs to be much more research on stem cell therapy.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research warns patients if:

1. Claims there is "No Risk" (all medical procedures carry some type of risk)
2. Source of stem cells is not clearly documented
3. There should be a protocol manual that the Medical Physician follows that shows how the treatment is done.
4. Making claims based on patient testimonials
5. Legitimate clinical trials don't charge patients.  Some clinics even pay patients to participate
6. The same stem cells are used to treat multiple diseases

There are many great alternatives that cost less and are more effective.  Call us today at 321-230-7071 to see if we can help you with your health challenge.  We provided Chiropractic care, Acupuncture, and K-Laser therapy.  We have been helping patents in Rockledge over 10 years.
