PEMF for Sleep & Insomnia

Sleep disturbances result from various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine and alcohol. Normal healthy sleep has well-defined brainwave frequency patterns which include theta (4-7hz when you first fall asleep) and delta (1-4hz about an hour into sleep- the deepest, most restorative sleep). PEMF therapy uses delta settings, before sleep to calm the brain and regulate circadian rhythms. By addressing underlying causes and harnessing innovative therapies, better sleep can be significantly achieved, fostering overall well-being and vitality. FDA has also approved PEMF for depression.

Children & Behavioral Challenges

Some children have extremely difficult and challenging behaviours that are outside the norm for their age. Behavioral challenges can stem from various factors including emotional distress, developmental disorders, or environmental difficulties. Whether the issue be with aggression, defiance, or frequent temper tantrums, therapy provides a structured environment where children can explore their emotions, learn coping strategies, and develop social skills. Therapists use evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and behaviors. Children learn to identify triggers and implement positive coping mechanisms. Therapy equips children with the tools needed to navigate challenges, promoting healthier relationships and improved well-being.

Blooms for Mental Wellness

If someone you know is going through a tough time, consider sending them flowers. Beyond traditional expressions of care, this gesture holds profound significance for mental well-being. Blooms wield a therapeutic power, lifting spirits and offering solace during challenging moments. Their vibrant colors and fragrances evoke positive emotions, providing a sensory respite. This act communicates empathy, reassuring recipients that they are cherished on their journey to mental wellness. Flowers become a symbol of support, fostering a profound sense of connection. This thoughtful gesture, both visual and aromatic, serves as a reminder that individuals aren’t alone in navigating the complexities of mental health, promoting healing and emotional well-being.

Quit Smoking with Laser Therapy

Is quitting smoking on your ‘To-Do List’ year after year? Have you tried just about everything, with little success? Laser Therapy is clinically proven to help to control cravings and withdrawal symptoms, with a 84-95% success rate! In clinical studies, patients report a noticeable reduction in cravings, and have a higher chance of success in quitting. The benefits of quitting smoking with laser over other interventions include no medications with unpleasant side effects, no unhealthy nicotine in your system in the form of patches, and pleasant side effects of relaxation which are a result of the endorphins released in response to the laser.

Oral Health Month

April is Oral Health Month! Here are five tips for maintaining good oral health: 1) Make healthy food choices and limit sugary and highly acidic foods to avoid tooth decay and acid erosion. 2) Don’t smoke or use tobacco products, which can stain teeth, cause gum damage, give you bad breath, cause tooth loss, and even lead to oral cancer. 3) Brush twice and floss once daily. 4) Make note of any oral issues you have, including sensitivity, bleeding, pain, or strange lumps. 5) Visit your dentist regularly. We now offer VELScope Oral Cancer Screening in our practice. The exam takes about 2 minutes and is completely safe and painless.
