Is Cold Laser Therapy for You?

Orange County Cold Laser therapy is making waves in the chiropractic scene in recent years because of its immense advantages, as compared to the risks.  If you were advised by a medical professional like a Newport Beach chiropractor, to consider Cold Laser for your treatment, you should know whether the positives effects will outweighs the risks--no matter how small.  

PROS

Cold Laser therapy accurately targets the tissues of your body that needs relief.  The treatment involves using low-temperature laser which gives heat to stimulate healing but not to the point of pain.   It is non-surgical, therefore patients who have undergone the treatment do not need to have a prolonged recovery period.  Neither do they need any medications.  Studies so far have shown that there is no serious side effects to properly-applied cold laser therapy.   

CONS 

Of course, there are two sides to a coin.  Cold laser therapy will take several treatments, from 8 to 30 sessions.  You also have to check with your medical insurance if they will cover this treatment because Medicare and Medicaid do not.  The treatment should not be given to pregnant women.  Nor should the laser be used directly on the eyes, thyroid, cancerous-looking lesions or carcinoma.  

Knowing what treatment is right for you is of primary importance to us.  Contact us for a consultation and we can help you decide.

Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor Offers Service That Could End Pain Permantly

Do you suffer from chronic pain?   Here are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved permanently with the help of a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor and the use of Active Release Techniques (ART®): 

• headaches 
• back pain 
• carpal tunnel syndrome 
• shin splints 
• shoulder pain 
• sciatica 
• knee problems 
• tennis elbow

These conditions can all be alleviated if not eliminated by a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor. They are often caused by the overuse of muscles resulting in restricted motion, reduced circulation, and altered nerve function which leads to the formation of scar tissue in the muscle. As the scar tissue builds up, it inhibits the muscles to contract normally and the muscles begin to lose their ability to function properly.  

Ideally, one would visit a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor before scar tissue build up occurs, but it may not be to late to prevent permanent damage. The build up could lead to the recruitment of other surrounding muscles to work harder as the body compensates. Without treatment from a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor, over time the body will no longer be able to compensate any more and pain will result.

One of the ways your  Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor can treat these problems is with an Active Release Techniques®.  ART® is a patented, soft tissue movement system that a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor uses to treat problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.  Active Release Techniques® works to break up the scar tissue in the muscle restoring normal function to the soft tissue. This system, along with regular adjustments by a  Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor  is one of the most effective ways to treat the cause of the injury, and consequently prevent future injuries from occurring. 

Call 949-650-1228 today or click here to book an appointment in Newport Beach, CA. Chiropractor services can end or ease your pain using new technology and time tested methods of healing-  you owe yourself a chance at a pain-free life.  

The Westcliff Medical Center can be utilized by current patients of the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center as well as those who've yet to visit either office.

Look Leaner for Summer With Just a Few Newport Beach Pilates Workouts

According to Howard Sichel, a chiropractor and president and co-owner of Power Pilates in New York City, Pilates does more than just tone and firm your core. By initiating all movements from your center, you'll improve your posture and look leaner in just a few workouts, he says.

Newport Beach Pilates is a full-body system of specific exercises that focus on the core postural muscles (abdomen and back) and help keep the body balance.  Newport Beach Pilates, a form of exercise that branched off of yoga in the early 1900's,  builds strength in your core and can help you to look great for summer!

Because of the positive effect Newport Beach Pilates can have on your spinal column, many chiropractors have begun offering classes out of their offices.  Since Newport Beach Pilates does not require heavy equipment, this trend has been catching on like wildfire!   All you need is a bottle of water, some comfy clothing, a simple yoga mat, and of course your Newport Beach Pilates class!

We all know how important it is to look our best on the beach, so book your Newport Beach Pilates class now and start stretching your way to a sexy, strong stomach and core!

There's No Excuse For Not Living A Healthy Lifestyle Says Orange County Chiropractor Dr. Rafa

In order to be well you must be a proactive agent in keeping your body healthy. Many people change their lifestyle only after they become diseased or begin to experience pain. The time to begin living a healthy lifestyle is before you're sick and before you're experiencing any pain. There are a number of things as well that you must consider and prepare for prior to changing your lifestyle. These include diet, exercise, and even your desire to not only live a new lifestyle but that maintain that lifestyle as well. Individuals who aren't serious about living a healthier lifestyle often do more damage to their body than they do good and are less apt to try again.

Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center is devoted to helping you stay healthy.

It's important to remember that being healthy isn't simply the absence of sickness, pain, or disease because even sick people may feel fine and not notice any symptoms until it's too late. An example of this would be somebody living with heart disease. Heart disease often goes unnoticed for many years before it strikes though individuals with heart disease are often confronted with heart attack or death as their first symptoms of the disease. So even if you feel fine, if you don't exercise and you don't eat a healthy diet you may be at risk or made have already contracted a silent disease. People who wait until it's too late to begin living a healthy lifestyle often face a myriad of problems which are detrimental to their lives. These things can include the inability to work and even the inability to be independent. Those who wait too long to begin living healthy often require the assistance of family members friends or professionals for even the simplest of daily tasks.

We can help you design the appropriate diet and exercise plan to fit your body type and needs.

There is little excuse to not live a healthy lifestyle. The Orange County chiropractor's at the Gateway Rehab Wellness And Center have seen and heard every excuse you can possibly imagine. The most common excuses for not living a healthy lifestyle are lack of time and money but in truth those things should not stop you from living a healthy lifestyle. Those that don't may face financial and even physical bankruptcy at some point in the future. Dr. Rafa an Orange County chiropractor states "if you don't have time and money to improve your health while you feel good, what makes you think that you will have time and money to improve your health once you've lost it?" He also adds that you can make time for wellness now or make time for sickness later but hopes that people will choose the first option.
