Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy (DTS) is a non-invasive treatment using axial decompression to alleviate disc-related back pain. Our patented LADDER program combines laser therapy, bracing, and manual techniques for herniated discs and sciatica. Clinical studies show 70-86% success rates, with most patients completing treatment in eight weeks while maintaining daily activities.
Laser Therapy
Summus Medical Laser's Class IV therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths to reduce pain and inflammation. This FDA-cleared treatment accelerates tissue repair for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and neuropathy. Over 2,500 studies confirm its effectiveness in improving circulation and speeding recovery, with sessions lasting 3-9 minutes per treatment area.
StemWave Therapy
StemWave delivers focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing for musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment accelerates recovery for shoulder, knee, and back pain without downtime. Patients often experience improvement after 3-4 sessions, with protocols requiring 8-12 treatments for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and rotator cuff injuries.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture balances the body's Qi energy to treat pain and chronic conditions. Licensed practitioner Weihong Shu combines needle therapy with cupping and nutritional counseling for conditions like migraines, arthritis, and infertility. Treatments promote natural healing by addressing both root causes and symptoms of disorders.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage techniques improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate stress-related conditions. Our licensed therapists use deep tissue, myofascial release, and sports massage to complement physical therapy programs. Regular sessions enhance recovery for fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
