Our Other Non-Invasive Therapies
We offer several non-invasive therapies: cold laser therapy, shockwave therapy, and nonsurgical spinal decompression.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, changing the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.
Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression in an attempt to treat:
Back or neck pain or sciatica, which is pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg
Bulging or herniated disks or degenerative disk disease
Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
Recover Quickly with Cold Laser Therapy
Speed up your recovery with cold laser therapy from Harbor Spine & Wellness. The cold laser stimulates your injured spot to intensify the healing process. Benefit from non-invasive and non-addictive treatment for any common injury. This aids in eliminating the need for dangerous drugs later on and comes approved by the FDA.
We target these issues:
Chronic pain
Sprains
Muscle strains
Arthritis
Tendonitis
Back pain
Tennis elbow
Carpal Tunnel
Fibromyalgia
Miscellaneous issues
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low-energy acoustic wave pulsations that are directly applied to an injury through a person's skin. Shockwave therapy is its own treatment for a lingering injury or pain resulting from an injury. You don't need painkillers with it — the purpose of the therapy is to trigger the body's own natural healing response. Many people report that their pain is reduced and mobility improved after the first treatment.
Shockwave therapy has been shown to effectively treat the following conditions:
Feet - heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
Elbow - tennis and golfers elbow
Shoulder - calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles
Knee - patellar tendonitis
Hip - bursitis
Lower leg - shin splints
Upper leg - Iliotibial band friction syndrome
Back pain - lumbar and cervical spine regions and muscular pain
Other benefits of shockwave therapy:
Shockwave therapy has excellent cost/effectiveness ratio
Non-invasive solution for chronic pain in your shoulder, back, heel, knee or elbow
No anesthesia required, no drugs
Limited side effects
Main fields of application: orthopedics, rehabilitation, and sports medicine
New research shows that it can have a positive affect on acute pain
