  • Do Omega 3 Fatty Acids Help Reduce Pain?
    Mar 30 2025

    Omega-3 fatty acids have been studied extensively for their potential health benefits, including their effects on reducing inflammation and pain. Clinically, our experience suggests adequate Omega 3 consumption helps reduce many forms of pain and help foster neurologic health. This is most especially true while patients convert to more plant based diet and using complementary pain management tools such as laser and infrared. Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, some nuts especially walnuts, chia seeds, edamame and other healthy plants have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate various types of pain. And it's a myth that you have to eat a lot of fish for adequate dietary Omega 3's. Some studies now show that functional levels of essential fatty acids may be far better in those on a plant based diet.* Some studies have indicated that the level of inflammation reduced can be equal to or greater than some prescription medications. *This is the reason we recommend you working with a licensed Physician on the most appropriate type of Omega 3 product and dosing for you.

    Studies have shown that omega-3 supplementation may be beneficial for conditions associated with inflammation and pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and menstrual pain. However, the evidence is not entirely consistent, and results may vary depending on the specific condition and individual factors...

  • Laser Therapy in Tissue Regeneration
    Mar 16 2025

    Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function and promote tissue regeneration. It has been studied and applied in many medical fields, including wound healing, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, and dermatology. Here are some key points related to laser therapy in tissue regeneration most especially how it helps our bodies heal.

    From a scientific perspective here exactly is what's happening. When properly applied laser therapy appears to greatly enhance mitochondrial (cellular activity), increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (cell energy production), and modulate various cellular signaling pathways to the rest of the body. This means Laser is acting at our biologic foundations!

    Laser therapy has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory effects and this is why we use it so frequently in our medical practice in both new and old illnesses and injuries. It helps reduce pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Laser therapy is used because it promotes wound healing in both acute and chronic wounds. It may accelerate the formation of granulation tissue which improves the overall healing process. Studies suggest that laser therapy can enhance the proliferation of fibroblasts, which are crucial for the synthesis of collagen, an essential component of the extracellular matrix in tissues...

    In our fast-paced lives, maintaining energy throughout the day can be challenging. But what if you could make simple changes to your daily routine that significantly boost your energy and productivity? Here are the highest energy daily habits for adults that can transform your day.

    Prioritize Sleep

    Quality sleep is essential for staying energized. Aim for 7-9 hours each night to allow your body to recover and recharge. Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule, and limit screen time before bed to improve sleep quality.

    Stay Hydrated

    Dehydration is one of the most common causes of fatigue. Start your morning with a glass of water and continue to drink throughout the day. Staying hydrated keeps your body functioning properly and supports digestion and circulation.

    Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods

    What you eat fuels your energy levels. Include a variety of whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains in your diet. These foods provide lasting energy without the crashes that sugary or processed snacks can cause...
