Sleep Better with Laser Therapy Treatments
Do you lie in bed frustrated because you can't fall asleep? Are you finding your sleep patterns changing?
These are the two main types of sleep disorders:
Insomnia- is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. Insomnia is a chronic condition that can last for years. Insomnia is not the same as poor sleeping patterns.
Poor sleeping patterns are usually short term and only last for a period of days to weeks; depending on the environmental conditions, stresses, and other factors in your life.
Sleep apnea- a condition that is characterized by pauses in breathing and gasping for air while sleeping. The person is usually unaware that they suffer from sleep apnea. Since the brain and heart are not getting enough oxygen, sleep apnea for an extended period of time can cause serious medical problems.

How does laser therapy work?
A low powered laser is applied on the ears, face, hands, neck and feet. The mild tingling sensation during the treatment helps you relax within minutes. The laser focuses on major stress reduction, relaxation, and endorphin release points to help you feel relaxed and calm. For the next four to six weeks you will notice an improvement in your ability to fall asleep and maintain your sleep throughout the night.
