Here at Waldman Center for Wellness in Reading, we know the body is the ultimate healer, and our advanced methods use cutting-edge technology to assist the body in its healing process. As one of the few applied kinesiologists in Massachusetts, Dr. David Waldman uses the muscles as a tool, or roadmap, to determine where imbalances in your body are located. He can then correct the imbalances and their cause, rather than simply masking the symptoms. One of our advanced methods is cold laser therapy, which involves a small, handheld device called the Erchonia PL 5000 and comes with several benefits.|

If Cold Laser Works for Lance Armstrong, it Can Work for You, Too

Freedom from pain is one of the top benefits of our cold laser treatments. The therapy itself is painless, using a low-level laser that is non-invasive and imperceptible. Our chiropractor, Dr. Waldman, applies the laser to the affected area by gently holding the device above it. You can watch him in action with the laser device on our YouTube video at:http://www.youtube.com/user/drdoov?blend=2&ob=5-  or watch it below



Benefits Include Performance Enhancement
Not only is the treatment pain free, but it also alleviates pain in back, the shoulders, or other affected areas. It is especially helpful for athletes with muscles that are stiff or sore. Cold laser can also enhance athletic performance, as evidenced by its use by Lance Armstrong and his cycling team during all of their victories in the Tour de France. A quicker recovery time is another cold laser benefit. The laser prompts cells to produce a type of cellular energy known as ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, which assists the body with healing. In addition to alleviating back pain and other discomfort during the enhanced recovery process, cold laser can also reduce swelling and the formation of scar tissue in the affected area.

How Can Reading Chiropractic Care Help Me?

If you have never visited a chiropractor before, it is natural to wonder how chiropractic care can help you. But if you are struggling with chronic pain in back, neck pain, or headache, chiropractic care is the treatment you need to live a pain-free, active life. Natural wear and tear to the body or a traumatic injury can cause a subluxation to occur, which is a condition where one or more of the vertebrae in your back are no longer in alignment. When a subluxation occurs, pressure is placed on your spinal nerves, which causes chronic pain.

Our auto accident chiropractor, Dr. Waldman, has extensive experience helping patients recover from whiplash and accidents that cause pain in back, headache and neck pain. Chiropractic adjustment can correct subluxation and restore the spine to proper alignment, relieving pressure on the nerves. It is a safe and non-invasive alternative to prescription painkillers and surgery. Massage therapy can also relieve back pain and speed internal healing.

At Waldman Center for Wellness, our services include corrective exercises, cold laser therapy, applied kinesiology, custom orthotics and massage therapy. We also offer nutrition counseling that is tailored to help patients recover from injury and achieve weight loss goals. Many Reading patients have successfully lost weight with our customized nutrition counseling. You can read more about their accomplishments on our Success Stories page. Even if you do not have a lot of weight to lose, small dietary changes can make a huge difference for your overall wellness; you’ll have more energy and stop struggling with chronic fatigue.

This blog is an opportunity for our chiropractor to share important wellness information with patients and answer any questions you may have. Are you struggling to heal following an injury? Is back pain preventing you from playing your favorite sports?
