Cold Laser

Erchonia Cold LaserMany patients call this the "Magic Light" and can’t believe how fast this works. I call it my secret weapon in treating my patients. When the body has an injury, the cells are damaged and fail to function within normal parameters. Low level lasers penetrate deeply into the skin and work by restoring this abnormal cellular function. Treatments are as quick as a few seconds and all you will notice is the light shining on you, there is absolutely no pain felt with this therapy. Published in several medical journals, the cold laser has been shown to be very effective in reducing pain, controlling inflammation, speeds in tissue repair, improves circulation, increasing energy production, improving strength, increasing range of motion, and reducing recovering time from injuries. It is being used widely in professional sports including the NFL and by the USPS tour de France Team. More info at www.erchonia.com

Dr. Chad Asks some important questions of interest to San Antonio residents - Chiropractor San Antonio Dr. Chad Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more San Antonio parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a San Antonio chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
