Pain Management

Alpha Life Style Center originated in Windsor, Ontario in 1986. Since then people from all over the U.S have been coming to us seeking laser therapy services for Smoking Cessation, Weight, Pain and Stress Management. Alpha Life Style Center has been combining principals of ancient acupuncture with modern laser technology for over 20 years. We offer an advanced and alternative (non-medical) approach to lifestyle improvements using painless, noninvasive, laser (light) energy.

About the Treatments

Each treatment is 10-30 minutes depending on the condition.

The number of treatments will depend on the condition as well as an individual’s response to light therapy.

A typical course of therapy averages 8-12 visits.

A treatment effect can be observed as early as the first treatment, but is usually recognized after the 3rd or 4th visit*.

Much like an antibiotic, therapy should not be stopped when symptoms subside. Completing a full course of treatments ensures optimal healing so that the tissue isn’t left vulnerable to re-injury.

Chronic conditions will benefit by returning to Alpha Life Style Center periodically for a short series of treatments—whether or not symptoms return.

Please contact us for Phototherapy pricing information. Treatment packages are available at a significant cost savings per treatment.

*It is estimated that only 10% of customers will not respond to phototherapy.

Phototherapy Overview

Phototherapy is best described as an alternative (non-medical) treatment of an injury or illness with light to accelerate the body’s own natural healing process, referred to as photobiostimulation.

Often times with injury, cells are so busy dealing with the inflammatory process and eliminating waste products present in the injured tissue, they don’t have the energy left to provide effective and timely repair. In much the same way that the cells of plants respond to the sun through photosynthesis, phototherapy uses light energy to stimulate the body’s cells to accelerate healing.

Once light is absorbed by the cells, a series of photochemical reactions occur that, among other things, increase the production of ATP, providing the cells with the additional energy needed to accelerate healing.

Testimonials

I thought I was headed for another rotator cuff surgery—until I tried phototherapy. After 3-4 treatments the pain went away, I cancelled the doctor’s appointment and over a year later have had no reoccurrence. Because of that success, I’m now treating the neuropathy in my diabetic feet. As I age and watch my peers suffer, I can’t understand why seniors aren’t rushing to laser pain management. P.S. I’m a lot better golfer than I was a year ago!

I used Laser Therapy for a painful gout attack when standard meds weren’t enough. After just two 10-minute sessions I could finally put on a shoe! By day two my pain had completely resolved. You have a new convert!

Before I came to Alpha I got tension headaches that lasted for days-weeks. I experienced some relief w/ time-consuming massage and physical therapy. The treatments were quick and painless. Just one treatment brought noticeable relief to my muscles, and a minimal number of treatments and time keep them from returning. Laser therapy keeps me from taking medications, and I haven’t missed work in a long time (I have been on disability in the past due to this problem). Thank you Alpha!
