Stress 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.

How does it work?

Laser energy is used to stimulate different body points (ears, face, hands, wrist, lower leg and foot). This type of stimulation eliminates blockages in the natural energy flow and balances the energy in the body, enabling more efficient functioning of the body systems.

Laser can reduce symptoms of stress based upon its ability to energize normal body chemicals, thereby stimulating feelings of well-being. Laser releases the body’s own natural opiate-like substances that naturally reduce/relieve the physical elements of stress and anxiety.

Laser Therapy will not eliminate stressful situations, but it can provide temporary relief from the uncomfortable feelings that a stressful lifestyle causes.

How long does it take?

The initial appointment is about an hour. This includes the laser therapy, behavioral modification techniques, and supplementation instructions to enhance your results. Additional laser therapy sessions (“boosters”) are only about 20 minutes.

How often should I return for a “booster.”

Laser Therapy is recommended until a client feels more relaxed and has mastered stress reduction methods. Once weekly is generally adequate, initially. However, twice weekly is recommended for those who are slow to respond. Monthly maintenance treatments are recommended, but the appropriate interval will vary by individual, depending on their unique response to the treatment.

How many laser therapy treatments will I need?

Additional laser therapy treatments, or “boosters” are available at a reduced cost. The number of treatments will depend on your goals, your commitment to lifestyle changes, and your response to laser stimulation. Some individuals will enjoy the relaxed feeling immediately. They will feel experience a sense of composure that has escaped them for some time. Others may not realize this state until after the 2nd or 3rd treatment.

Does it hurt?

Laser Therapy is completely painless with no known negative side effects. Many customers report feeling relaxed after the treatment, but it is not necessary to arrange for anyone to accompany you to your appointment.

Is it covered by insurance?

Alpha Life Style Center is not a medical clinic. Our therapies are alternative. We do no process insurance claims. You should check with your carrier to determine potential reimbursement for your treatment. Our therapy may be considered a qualified expense for a Health Savings Account.

Is it guaranteed?

Due to the complexities of the psychological side of stress, we can offer no guarantees for your results. You should not expect remarkable results without some personal effort/change in your lifestyle. Laser therapy is only one component of managing stress. If you were diagnosed with high blood pressure, your physician wouldn’t only prescribe a medication – he/she would instruct you to reduce your weight, lower your salt intake, increase your exercise, quit smoking etc. Laser CAN help you achieve a relaxed state. Our Laser Therapy program makes it’s easier to make the lifestyle changes necessary to manage stress.

How much does it cost?

Please contact the clinic for pricing information. We do offer significant discounts when you purchase a package of treatments. We do this to encourage client’s to return to the clinic for their treatments in order to better realize the benefit of our therapy.
