LASER Therapy is also known as photobiomodulation. It entails the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to generate a photochemical response in damaged or dysfunctional tissue.

The LASER works by creating an increase of vasodilatation (blood supply), bringing in oxygen to the cells. It stimulates the lymphatic system, pulling edema and inflammation from the area. ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) production is stimulated in the cells helping them have the energy to function normally. The pain reflex is broken, offering immediate relief of pain.

LASER therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. Significant reduction in edema (swelling) has been noted as well as tissues are better able to move fluids out through lymphatic drainage pathways.

Cleared by the FDA in 2003, Class IV LASER therapy has become standard of care for many musculoskeletal injuries. Class IV LASERs can penetrate over 4 inches into the deep musculoskeletal tissue. The number of treatments required depends on the nature of the problem and the length of time the patient has been affected by it. Some conditions may be resolved with as few as one treatment. However, chronic and/or deep-seated conditions may take as many as 10 treatments.

LASER therapy technology has been recently endorsed by professional organizations such as the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), World Health Organization (WHO) and International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). There are no known side effects from LASER therapy and the results are long lasting.

LASER Therapy has been proven to be effective for a wide variety of conditions. Some of them include:

• Tendinitis
• Back and Neck Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Myofascial Trigger Points
• Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
• Sprains, Strains
• Repetitive Strain Injuries
• Chondromalacia Patellae
• Plantar Fascitis

• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• Osteoarthritis (OA)
• Neurogenic Pain
• Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
• Post-traumatic Injury
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Fibromyalgia
• Diabetic Neuropathy
• Chronic Non-Healing Wounds
• Diabetic Foot Ulcers
• Burns

Cold laser therapy, otherwise know as Low-level laser therapy, uses light and photon energy to stimulate cellular metabolism. Cold laser therapy has been demonstrated effective in the treatment of a variety of painful and inflamed conditions of the soft tissues and joints such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, back pain, sport injuries. Cold laser has the unique property of being able to penetrate up to two inches below the skin surface, causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage whatsoever.

No, the therapy is painless and totally non-invasive. There is just a deep, gentle warmth as your body's cells respond to the light.

The FDA has proven that the therapy is safe. The only contraindication (warning) is for use directly in the eye.

• Yes, research has demonstrated that:
• Injuries treated with LASER therapy heal faster
• LASER Therapy has a strengthening effect on tissue repair
• LASER Therapy improves blood flow & lymphatic drainage
• It is an effective means of relief for many pain syndromes
• It can improve immune response

Treatment for pain is performed by the physical therapist by placing the LASER in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular bio molecules resulting in the restoration of normal cell function. This enhances and essentially speeds the body's natural healing processes.

The treatment process results in a disappearance of symptoms. Additionally, the immune system response is stimulated, Lymphatic drainage is improved, production of growth hormone is increased, and the body's natural healing processes are enhanced and essentially sped up.

Physiological Effects:

• Bio stimulation including improved metabolism & increased cell metabolism
• Improved blood circulation and vasodilatation (blood supply)
• Analgesic (pain relieving) effect
• Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects
• Acceleration of tissue repair and wound healing
• Relieves acute and chronic pains
• Increases the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair
• Increases blood supply
• Stimulates the immune system
• Stimulates and improves nerve function
• Develops collagen and muscle tissue
• Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
• Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
• Reduces inflammation
• Angiogenesis (improved circulation)
• Reduction in fibrous tissue (scar tissue) formation.

Treatments last between 8 and 20 minutes depending on your injury and the body part being treated.

You should notice improvements to your condition within 5 to 10 brief treatments.

Shockwave Therapy provides patients a non-surgical alternative for when conventional treatment has not fully resolved their conditions. The literature has shown this technique to be very successful in the treatment of chronic soft tissue injuries, tendinopathies and repetitive strain disorders. 

Shockwave treatment involves the application of 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 energy shock is a rapid high frequency vibration in the form of a Radial Pressure Wave (RPW). Shockwave Therapy can increase local blood flow, improve healing response, break apart scar tissue and adhesions, reduce muscle spasm, and directly decrease pain when applied appropriately.

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Heel spurs/Heel pain
• Calcific Tendonitis
• Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
• Myofascial Trigger Points in muscle
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome (IT Band Syndrome)
• Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
• Bursitis
• Heterotopic Ossification (Myositis Ossificans)

The actual application of shockwave lasts 3-5 minutes. The majority of our patients appreciate the faster rate of improvement when combining traditional physiotherapy with shockwave treatment. After the treatment, the rest of your visit will be spent with your physiotherapist, who may also use manual therapy, exercise prescription, or other modalities to facilitate rapid recovery. Most conditions require 3-5 treatments with 3 to 5 days after each treatment.

Shockwave therapy can be mildly painful for some however most patients are able to tolerate the discomfort well. Your therapist can adjust the intensity of the energy so that it is comfortable for you and can ramp up intensity if you are able to tolerate more. The most intense pain is during the application of shockwave, which only lasts 3-5 minutes. The best part is that the majority of patients will notice a great deal of relief right after the treatment. In rare cases you may feel some soreness for approximately 24 hours after your session and you may have an inflammatory reaction which can include redness and local tissue swelling.

Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care service for the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. The focus of naturopathic doctors is to address the root cause of illness, rather than to simply suppress symptoms or to manage disease. The patient is seen as a whole person.

Naturopathic medicine integrates knowledge and therapies that are substantiated by thousands of years of clinical experience, as well as natural medicine that has been substantiated by modern evidence based scientific research.

First do no harm - The most gentle and non-invasive therapy is sought to facilitate healing with the least possible side effects.

The healing power of nature - The body has the inherent ability – the vitality –to heal itself. The physician’s role is to bolster the patient’s healing capacity.

Treat the whole person - Health and disease result from a complex interaction of physical, mental, emotional, genetic, spiritual, environmental, social, and other factors. The harmonious function of all aspects of the individual is essential to health.

Identify and treat the cause - Illness does not occur without cause. Symptoms are signals that the body is out of balance. When only the symptoms are treated, the underlying causes remain and the patient may develop a more serious, chronic condition.

Prevention is the best cure - Health is a reflection of how we choose to live. The physician assesses risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and makes appropriate intervention to prevent illness.

Doctor as teacher - The original meaning of the word “doctor” was “teacher”. One of a physician’s principle responsibilities is to educate the patient and encourage self-responsibility for health.

And to make matters even more urgent, you may not even know that you’ve been hurt. Whiplash injury, the most common injury of a car accident, may not show symptoms for weeks after the trauma.

Whiplash is serious business, and if it’s not directly addressed with soft tissue therapy the injured muscles can remain seriously damaged causing chronic pain for months, years, maybe even decades after the injury. Upchar Physiotherapy is ready to help.

When you suffer an auto accident, the pain that occurs at the base of the skull, neck, head, and shoulders is often called whiplash.

Recovery for most patients is within a few weeks, or at most a few months. But between 15 and 20 percent of whiplash victims develop chronic pain. Whiplash is no trivial matter. Only 70% of victims completely recover within one year, and the two year recovery rate is only marginally better at 82%.

Whiplash is more than just pain, it can also account for sleep problems, poor concentration and memory, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, fatigue, and weakness. And unfortunately many people don’t seek treatment for whiplash because of misconceptions about the injury and auto accident claims.

• Neck or back pain
• Headaches
• Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
• Tightness or stiffness in the muscles
• Decreased range of motion in neck or low back
• Trouble sleeping
• Fatigue
• Problems concentrating
• Dizziness

The myths that surround whiplash account for many reasons that people don’t seek treatment. But the facts are damaged muscles caused by an auto accident can heal in ways that leave the weaker, less elastic, and more susceptible to future injury.

Some common whiplash myths are:

• It is primarily a muscular injury and just takes time to heal
• It was a minor fender bender so the stiffness I am feeling isn’t a big deal
• The more damage to the car means more injury to the occupants
• If the accident was my fault I will have to pay for my medical bills
• I don’t want to take advantage of the insurance companies nor am I seeking money in my pocket.

But the facts of whiplash treatment are that if caught early enough, inflammation and scar tissue can be reduced leading to a more complete and healthier healing of the injury. Therapies like soft tissue release help whiplash sufferers regain muscular strength, flexibility, and normal functioning by correcting and aligning the scar tissue.

The first steps after an accident are important ones. Often times there are no immediate pain after an auto accident, but in time pain and soreness become severe. Even what appears to be minor bruising can lead to more serious conditions later if not evaluated and treated. And this evaluation and treatment should occur as quickly as possible.

The first 24 hours of treatment for whiplash injury should include:

• Ice applications: Applying a cold pack to the affected area is helpful to reduce pain and swelling.
• Alternating ice and heat: After the first 24 hours, alternating between hot and cold packs on the affected area further assist the healing process.
• Gentle and active movement: Movement is very important to the healing process. Move the head and neck gingerly through a full range of motions as long as the movement is comfortable and not forced.
• Anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants: Take these as prescribed by your doctor. Inflammation is often associated with whiplash, and these medications will work to reduce it.

You are already going through a lot. We will handle all aspects of your motor vehicle accident treatment and accident claim; from helping you properly complete claim forms to medical legal documentation and, if required, we can even arrange for a free consultation with a reputable law firm that specializes in protecting car accident victim rights.

Socks can do more than keep your feet warm and dry — specialized socks can improve and prevent many health conditions. 

Compression socks – or compression stockings – are specialized socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles. They can help improve blood flow from your legs to your heart.

“Compression socks have also been shown to help decrease swelling and pain in the legs and ankles,” explains Sathish Mohan, M.D., a vascular specialist with Riverside Medical Group.  “By applying pressure to the legs, they reduce the extra fluid in the legs, reduce inflammation, and ultimately improve blood flow through the veins to the heart.

You can purchase compression socks at most pharmacies, big box stores and many online retailers. Depending on the type of compression sock that’s right for you, you may need a doctor’s prescription and/or professional fitting for maximum results.

There are three main types of compression socks or stockings:

• Graduated compression stockings: With this type of compression stocking, the compression is strongest at the ankle and decreases up toward the knee. If you have peripheral edema or orthostatic hypotension, your doctor may recommend this type. In fact, graduated compression stockings generally require a doctor’s prescription and professional fitting.
• Anti-embolism stockings: This type of stocking also features graduated compression that decreases from the ankle upwards, but it is used for people who are not mobile. “Anti-embolism stockings can help reduce the chances of developing deep vein thrombosis,” says Dr. Mohan. Anti-embolism stockings also generally require a doctor’s prescription and professional fitting.
• Nonmedical support hosiery: This type of compression stocking does not require a prescription and is available at most pharmacies. Support hosiery offers the same level of compression throughout the stocking and can provide relief for tired, achy legs.

Compression socks can be beneficial for many conditions. Your doctor may recommend you wear compression socks for:

• Boosting circulation in the legs
• Decreasing swelling in the legs and ankles
• Improving lymphatic drainage
• Managing orthostatic hypotension, or low blood pressure when you stand up after a period of sitting down
• Preventing blood from pooling in the leg veins
• Preventing deep vein thrombosis in the legs
• Preventing venous ulcers
• Reducing pain related to varicose veins
• Reversing venous hypertension

Compression socks can be useful for other situations, too:

• Athletes sometimes wear compression socks on their arms or hands to help improve blood flow and oxygen delivery while they’re working out, practicing or during competition. Some athletes also wear compression wraps to help speed up their post-workout recovery. 
• For someone who is confined to a wheelchair, compression socks can help improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs.
• Pregnant women who are prone to swelling in their legs, feet or ankles may want to wear compression stockings to reduce chances of swelling. Most pregnant women see the best results with compression socks when they put them on in the morning as a preventative measure, versus putting them on after they’ve developed swelling.
• Airplane passengers or crew on long or frequent air flights may want to wear compression socks to help increase circulation and reduce their risk of developing deep vein thrombosis or blood clots.
• For people on their feet all day at work, compression socks can help reduce fatigue, pain or swelling by increasing blood and oxygen flow in the legs and feet.

Cupping therapy offers several benefits including aiding in promoting blood flow and increase blood circulation to muscles and tissue, supplies oxygen to cells, loosens knots, pain relief and can release and drain excess fluids and toxins.

Our therapist use Cupping due to te major reason that it is a non-invasive healing method that can aid in detoxifying a person's body and improving their overall energy. It is also said to help promote health and fitness.

Cupping therapy has also been used to treat several other conditions including blood disorders such as anemia and hemophilia, rheumatic diseases such as arthritis, fertility and other gynecological disorders, eczema, acne, high blood pressure, migraines, anxiety, depression, allergies, asthma, and varicose veins.
