Laser therapy uses a low-level laser to trigger the endorphins that control a state of well being and the feelings that go along with it. The treatment also reduces unnecessary and potentially harmful over production of cortisone and adrenaline. In addition to laser therapy, our qualified councilors can suggest relaxation and behavior modification techniques to maximize the long-lasting effectiveness of the treatment.

Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress and anxiety are so commonplace that it has become a way of life. The body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response may be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.

Long-term exposure to stress/anxiety can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

In addition to laser therapy, our Ontario Registered Naturopathic Doctors can recommend dietary and supplemental nutrient options that can help reduce stress and promote healthy sleep patterns. Our councilors can also suggest healthy outlets for stress management and recommend effective relaxation techniques. Developing natural sleep patterns will lead to increased energy and better overall health.
