Quit smoking now with Cold Laser

The cold laser beam is used on the ears and hands to target energy points on the body that release natural chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins have a calming, relaxing effect on the body that helps to reduce nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms. In addition to stimulating an endorphin release, the laser stimulates the body's natural ability to detoxify the nicotine, getting the ex-smoker through the nicotine withdrawl more quickly.

Physical Therapy (PT)

Advanced Health of Naperville offers two types of PT, active and passive. Active PT consists of exercises and stretches that help lengthen and strengthen the muscles. Passive PT consists of modalities that are used to decrease inflammation/swelling, decrease muscle spasm, increase circulation and even decrease scar tissue.

Our PT Modalities:
(1) Ultrasound Therapy therapy: Soundwave technology that helps decrease inflammation and swelling in any joint of the body.
(2) Electric Muscle Stimulation: Electric currents that help to over stimulate the muscles in order to help them relax which decreases muscle spasm.
(3) Cold Laser Therapy: low level light technology that painlessly helps to reduce swelling, increase circulation and decrease scar tissue. When used with the first two modalities it helps accelerate tissue healing dramatically.
(4) Infrared Light therapy: Another type of light therapy that increases circulation in the affected areas. We use this therapy most often for pain, burning and numbness of the feet and legs.

Chiropractic Care

To most people's surprise chiropractors take all of the classes that an medical doctor does except drug classes. Both types of physicians take a full history of their patient and perform an examination to determine the problem.

The difference lies in how these two different types of doctors treat their patients. Medical doctors will typically give drugs to their patients to alleviate their symptoms while chiropractors look to the spine to find out if there are any misalignments that are affecting the nervous system. The nervous system controls every single function of the body. If they find a misalignment, called a subluxation, they make adjustments with their hands or an instrument called an activator to correct them.

Realigning the spine takes the pressure off of the nervous system and let's the body function at 100%. This relieves most symptoms and helps the body stay health and strong.

Cold Laser Treatment

What is Cold Laser?
Cold Laser is light or photon energy that has the unique property of being able to penetrate the skin's surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism without causing any tissue damage.

What is Cold Laser being used to treat?
The Cold Laser is currently being used to treat a variety of arthritic and inflamed conditions of soft tissues and joints. Some of these conditions are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, elbow pain, neck and back pain, shoulder and hip pain, bulging and herniated discs as well as many sports injuries. Patients with myofascial pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have experienced remarkable benefits from the Cold Laser.

Why should I try Cold Laser to treat my pain?
Dr. Subber is one of a limited group of doctors in the country using the Cold Laser under an approved protocol. Once you have been examined by Dr. Subber will determine if you are a qualified candidate for this treatment.

Is it painful?
No. This treatment is completely pain-free and requires no drugs or surgery.

How can cold laser help me quit smoking?
The "cold" laser beam is used to target energy points on the body. Focusing the laser beam on these areas causes the body to release natural chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins have a calming, relaxing effect on the body that helps to reduce nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms. In addition to stimulating an endorphin release, the laser stimulates the body's natural ability to detoxify the nicotine, getting the ex-smoker through the nicotine withdrawal more quickly.

First, we treat points for the addiction to nicotine, to help block your body's need for that drug; second, we treat diet points to help control your appetite and avoid excessive weight gain; and third we treat a lot of stress and relaxation points to help avoid the withdrawal symptoms that you would normally experience if you tried to quit on your own, such as irritability, getting short tempered, etc. We try to take away all the negative feelings and make it a smooth transition for you. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes.
