Laser therapy can accelerate healing by up to 50% by stimulating ATP, which provides energy to your cells. It can also reduce pain and inflammation and help with nerve damage, such as neuropathy and he has had success in some cases of paralysis. Laser therapy is safe and effective for both humans and animals. Dr. Wheeler has been using K-Lasers for over 18 years after it cured a chronic shoulder problem he had suffered with. He was the first chiropractor to add a K-Laser in Anchorage, Alaska. He also was the only chiropractor offering both types of shockwave therapy near Pensacola, Florida.
Dr. Wheeler offers both Focused Shockwave, sometimes referred to as Piezowave, as well as Radial Shockwave therapy or EST. Shockwaves help break down scar tissue and adhesions, stimulate angiogenesis or new blood supply, and produce and migrate stem cells to the joint being treated. Stem cells can transform into many types of cells to repair damage and scar tissue. Most conditions will require 6 sessions scheduled once a week. The stem cells will continue healing for 3-4 months after your last session. Some conditions contraindicate shockwave therapy. (Results may vary person to person.) Most patients experience pain reduction and improved performance within the first 1-2 sessions, but for maximum improvement it is important to complete the 6 sessions on a once a week schedule. Typical treatment time is 10-15 minutes.
