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...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
