830 cold laser therapy- An Alternative to Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be painful and debilitating.  Those at risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome are those that spend lots of time on the computer keyboard and mouse, those that engage in repetitive hand crafts and hand use at work: sewing, using a microscope, and any other repetitive intricate tasks involving use of hand and fingers.  Sometimes, conventional physical therapy alone is not enough to alleviate symptoms and restore full function.  Often times, patients are told that surgical intervention is the ultimate choice when all else fails.

New research and studies show that cold laser therapy specifically at the 830 nm wavelength, produces a significant healing effect for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.  This revolutionary healing device has been proven to penetrate 2 inches deep passing through skin, fat and blood and produces a biological healing affect on injured tissues.  The 830 laser stimulates increased blood flow, reduces swelling and reduces localized pain.  The 830 cold laser also accelerates tissue healing. 

Before considering surgery, we highly recommend a course of laser therapy, 2-3x/week for 9-12 sessions.  See the link below featured on NBC Action News.

We are offering a promotional complimentary treatment for those interested in learning about this pain alleviating program.  Call to schedule a session today.
