If you’re like me, you don’t want to have to take a pill for everything. And you want to find out what the cause is and what can I be doing about it NOW. OSTEOARTHRITIS, which can be labeled as degenerative joint disease or deteriorated disc in the spine, usually involves destruction of the cartilage and often the bone. Low level laser therapy has a proven track record for reducing the pain and inflammation and improving mobility.
Other types of arthritis are known, they usually involve some auto immune conditions which can also be helped.

Pain from Arthritis of the hands completely relieved with laser therapy
I walked into this office about 5 weeks ago with arthritic pain in my hands at about level 8, sometimes 10. I was barely able to write and had trouble grasping objects. I felt a little bit better after the first treatment. Now after 7 treatments I am able to write pain free and pick up little things fairly easily. I have been recommending this office to friends from out- of-town, as well as locals. I am so grateful for this new lease on life. Everyone in the office is friendly and polite. They are diligent about keeping everything clean and are COVID compliant.
Not your normal chiropractic experience
I have been going to chiropractors off and on most of my adult life (now 75), and while all my previous experiences have been fine, I really didn’t realize how they basically had the same generic treatment for everyone.
My treatments at Cruz Life Center varied depending on their assessment of me each visit. I really wasn’t expecting the level of individual care that I have received. This customized treatment is also extremely evident in the laser therapy, that when used in conjunction with the chiropractic adjustments results in faster recovery. I have to admit that at first I was very skeptical of the laser therapy, but am very pleased that I gave it a try. CLC is very professional & efficient, while at the same time, a very friendly and enjoyable experience
No More Stiffness and Soreness Every Morning
My husband and I would highly recommend Cruz Life Center. We drove from Waynesville twice a week. I am not stiff and sore when I get up in A.M., I am pretty much pain free. My husband also had a lot of improvement. I feel like I have my life back,I can go shopping !! The staff makes you feel like family. Thanks to Leiam and Leisa for putting up with me, thanks to all.

How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy uses red and infrared light to penetrate deep into the tissues and stimulate a healing response at the cellular level. It has been clinically proven that specific frequencies of light reduces inflammation (swelling) which is usually the cause of most discomforts. These are low level or cold lasers so there is no cutting or burning, these are healing lasers. The best part is that the light actually stimulates cellular HEALING of the tissues, and not just temporary relief.
Often people can tell a difference after the first treatment, most will feel a noticeable improvement within 3 treatments, more may be needed for complete resolution depending on severity.
