Our laser therapy decreases your nerve sensitivity by decreasing bradykinin, a pain-eliciting chemical. Lasers help normalize your ion channels, which are your cellular gatekeepers, and also help release endorphins - your body's natural pain reliever - and enkephalins, which are related to endorphins and produce an analgesic effect. Call us today, we can help!
EMGs Can Help Us Target Underlying Medical Conditions
An EMG is a test (an electromyogram or myogram) that records the electrical activities in your muscles. The electric currents are normally proportional to the level of muscle activity, but many diseases and conditions affect the current and an EMG can help identify those issues.
- Muscular dystrophy
- Inflammation of muscles
- Pinched nerves
- Peripheral nerve damage (damage to nerves in the arms and legs)
