theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 37 Thousands of patients throughout the country have experienced pain relief from SoftWave Therapy’s drug free, non-invasive treatment. SoftWave Therapy is a strong option for patients who want to avoid surgery, prescription medications, or injections. Activate your own stem cells without invasive procedures. Advanced Technology That Heals SoftWave technology produces highly effective shock waves that initiate biological regeneration processes at the cellular level. It is a treatment involving technology that applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shockwave) into soft-tissue that is injured, scarred, or contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed. This technology is used to increase circulation, break up scar tissue, calcifications and stimulate the migration of stem cells and growth factors in injured areas. SoftWave Therapy is an exciting, breakthrough option in the field of regenerative medicine. It is an advanced, effective, non-invasive and safe way to treat painful musculoskeletal conditions, degenerative conditions, and chronic pain. SoftWave does this without needles, anesthesia, pain medication or expensive hospitalization. Activates Connective Tissue Connective tissue is the building matrix of the body. It supports, protects and gives structure to all types of tissue. SoftWave Therapy uses electro hydraulically produced sound waves (shock waves) that are directed at unhealthy tissue within an injured area. This activates the tissue to improve and accelerate the body’s own natural healing process. Breaks up Calcification Trauma to the tendons can generate calcified fibroblasts in the injured area. Calcified fibroblasts cause chronic pain which decreases mobility. Using shockwave pulses, calcification is cleared from the damaged area after being broken into small particles that are easily absorbed by the body. This reduces pain and restores function. Is The Treatment New? No. It is the standard of care for soft tissue injuries in Europe and has been a non-surgical option in the U.S. for over 20 years. Is it FDA Approved? SoftWave is FDA 510(k) cleared for: Activation of connective tissue, treatment for diabetic foot ulcers and treatment of acute second degree burns. It is FDA 510(k) registered for: Pain reduction and improved blood supply. Proven Effective Independent studies performed at institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Georgetown University, Mayo Clinic, UC San Diego Health System, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center show SoftWave Therapy to be a highly effective treatment for various health conditions related to damaged bone and muscle tissues. SoftWave Therapy is currently also used by teams of the NBA, MLB, and NFL. Can it be used in Conjunction with Other Treatments? Yes. SoftWave therapy has been shown to be even more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, soft tissue mobilization, nutritional support, etc. What conditions can be treated with SoftWave? SoftWave Therapy can successfully address acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries related to: knee, heel, foot, ankle, hamstring, back, pelvis, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. In addition, research has shown promising results in the area of wound healing and cosmetics. Dr. Matthew Lanum is a licensed Chiropractor who has been practicing for 25 years.

RELIEVE PAIN, ACTIVATE STEM CELLS, AND INCREASE HEALING Prevalence of Chronic Pain In The United States In the United States it is estimated that 56 million individuals suffer from some form of chronic pain annually. The prevalence of chronic pain accounts for the greate t number of work abs nteeism than any other gr up of diseases, and th prevlence of chronic pain rep rts is estimated to increase. Often, people with acute or chronic pain (low back pain, knee pain or persistent neck stiffness and pain) will quickly turn to over-the-counter medicine for relief, however the FDA recently issued strict warnings regarding the misuse and overdosing of the over-the-counter pain medications due to severe complications such as tomach u cers, hearing disorders and liv r failure. Now There is a New Treatment that Has Been Proven Safe and Effective by the FDA Low Level Lasers from Erchonia offer a new clinically proven treatment option that is safe, effective and cleared by the FDA for treatment of: Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain Post-Operativ Pai Shoulder Pain Heel Pain Related to Plantar Fasciitis FX 635 Laser: How it Works FX 635Low Level LaserTherapy (LLLT) or cold laser, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free modality that is used for a variety of conditions such as acute and chronic pain. The low level laser technology and patented laser diode arms precisely targ t the pain centers. It reduces inflammation while promoting bio-stimulation at a cellular level in the mus uloskel etal poi t of the pain’s origination. During the laser treat ent, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by receptors within the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the energy manufacturer of a cell. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen fl w. Patients with chronic pain who choose FX 635 treatment experience improved comfort and quality of life without the risks associated with the side effects of opioids and nonsteroidal a ti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs that can cause ulcers, bleeding, kid ey disease and heart attacks. Further Benefits of Low-Level Laser For Back Pain In addition to the FX 635’s qualities as a drug-free, non-invasive option for back pain treatment, patients and physicians turn to it for the following benefits: Works in conjunction with other treatments: Low Level Las r treatment for pain can supplement other traditional treatments for the condition, such as chiropractic and muscle stimulation. Because the FX 635 helps patients return to an active lifestyle, other treatments that work on positive muscle stimulation work in unison with its healing effects. A viable option to surgery: Low Level Laser Therapy provides a far l ss physically intrusive option for low back pain relief. In addition, without the rec p ration period associated with post surgery recovery, the FX 635 allows patients to feel comfort and relief much faster than they do during the often painful and long recovery period associated with surgery.
