Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy has been shown to help a range of conditions:
Acute and chronic pain
Arthritis in any joint
Broken bones
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Inflammation
Injuries and wounds
Neuropathic pain syndrome
Oedema and swelling
Post-operative pain
Post shingles neuralgia
Repetitive strain disorders
Cold laser therapy has been scientifically proven to:
- Reduce pain by increasing endorphin production
- Reduce inflammation that creates swelling, redness and pain
- Enhance lymphatic drainage to increase circulation
- Stimulate the release of helpful healing enzymes
- Release tight muscles
- Speed bone repair
- Re-Energise cell membranes
The term “cold laser therapy” is a misnomer, as no cooling sensation is actually felt by the patient. Technically known as Photo Bio Modulation Therapy, it is referred to as ‘cold laser therapy’ to distinguish it from surgical lasers which can create heat.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy treats neck & back pain from:
Bulging/Herniated Discs
Degenerative Disc Disease
Facet Joint Syndrome
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Spinal Stenosis
Stubborn Muscle Tension
How does Spinal Decompression work?
Negative pressure is created within the discs by providing a series of slow pulls, holds and releases. Over time, this vacuum effect may in many cases help the bulging disc material to be ‘drawn back into place’.
The fibres in the outer ring of the disc are also helped to heal by the increased nutrients which circulate in the area due to the gentle pumping movement created around the disc and facet joints.
(As pictured) In a lumbar spine decompression therapy session, the pelvis is angled differently depending on which exact disc level is being targeted. The computer has seven sensors that constantly measure the amount (and the exact timing) of each stage of decompression.
Apart from an initial pulling sensation, which you quickly get used to, it is very relaxing; in fact, many people fall asleep!
AquaMassage
Bribie Pain Relief Centre is proud to announce the arrival of Brisbane’s first ever high tech AquaMassage.
With our AquaMassage you get to stay dry, fully clothed, enjoying muscle stimulation and relaxation from water jets gently pummelling your body.
With our AquaMassage you get to choose how firm or light, how fast or slow, and exactly where you want your muscles worked. You are in control of the entire massage, which you can design to be super relaxing or deeply invigorating. Your choice!
You can choose to have your whole body massaged or you can focus on a particular area that has been giving you trouble. Relax with your choice of music from your own device or listen to our ambient relaxation music where we can provide headphones for you or you may use your own.
The AquaMassage is helpful for:
- Whole body relaxation.
- Specific tight spots, especially back and hips (it’s good for necks too, though if you find it doesn’t give you quite the relief you need for a specific neck problem, then we suggest making an appointment with Colleen for a more traditional massage). Alternatively, try our Spinal Decompression Therapy for even more relief. Combined with our cold laser therapy, it’s a very effective treatment.
