Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy is offered by Dr. Jack Alajajian in the form of the Erchonia Laser. This type of therapy restores functionality to your body by healing the cause of your problems. Like all chiropractic care, the Erchonia Laser increases your body’s natural healing processes. It reduces inflammation while increasing blood flow, neurotransmitter release, and calcium uptake. To learn more, contact ChiroCareLA.com.


 


Laser therapy stimulates your tissues and nervous system. It doesn’t heal your pain, it finds the cause. During the treatments, the mitochondria of your cells are exposed to light. The receptors increase your energy production, cell and protein growth, biochemical reactions, oxygen, and blood flow. It evens elongates the lifespan of the cells. The results are an improvement to your neuron and biochemical pathways. Pain levels are lowered, and the range of motion is improved. There is an increase in ATP production, calcium intake, and neurotransmitter release.


 


During the procedure, you won’t experience any discomfort. The low-level lasers operate on a sub-atomic level. It’s affecting your cells and atoms. There is no heat or vibration involved. Millions of biochemical reactions occur without you even noticing. All the Erchonia laser does is assist these biochemical reactions in their injured state. The only sensation you’ll experience is similar to taking a prescription medication.


 


The effects of this treatment are almost immediate. Improvement is noted for weeks following. Eventually, you will need to come in for another round of treatment.

Hip Labral Tears

Do you suffer from pain, weakness, or stiffness in one of your hips? If so, don’t think that’s just a natural consequence of aging or healthy activity. Dr. Alajajian and his staff in Glendale, CA, believe everyone is entitled to a life free from pain. We practice holistic, non-invasive therapies to help our patients maintain wellness. As experts in the musculoskeletal system, we’re particularly concerned with hip pain and the possibility that a patient may be suffering from a hip labral tear.   A labrum is a ring of cartilage around a ball-and-socket joint. The ones on the hips keep the femurs and pelvis aligned and allow the legs to rotate completely and smoothly. But when a labrum tears, the leg may catch or make clicking sounds when it moves, and a patient may feel a deep, constant ache that is especially bad when they attempt to stand up or walk on stairs. Hip labral tears can develop because of an acute injury, or they may be caused by repeated stress over a long period of time.

Importance of Strong Cores

Of all the things we can do to maintain total body wellness, one of the most important is keeping our cores strong. This isn’t just a matter of liking the way we look or being in competitive athletic shape; our core muscles provide critical support to our spines and hip bones. At ChiroCareLA in Glendale, Dr. Jack Alajajian and his team are committed to helping our patients sustain wellness over the course of their lives, and for that, it’s necessary to understand some basic aspects of the core and how to care for it.   The muscles of our abdomen are made up of several layers that are all shaped differently. The deepest core muscle is the transverse abdominis, which wraps around our visceral organs in horizontal bands. The internal and external oblique muscles are on the sides of the trunk and are involved with rotating it and bending the spine. The rectus abdominis muscle is the one on the front that forms the “abs” and connects to the sternum. It helps to stabilize the trunk, but keep

Sunlight and Vitamin D

As the days get longer, we have more opportunities to get out in the sun. And in addition to boosting our moods and encouraging us to exercise, more sunlight is especially good for our bones. At ChiroCareLA in Glendale, we don’t just treat symptoms. We help our patients maintain holistic wellness, and that means educating the public about the connection between sunlight, Vitamin D, and preventing hair fractures in the vertebrae.   Our bones require calcium as their basic building material, and our muscles need calcium to function properly. However, an excessive amount of calcium can be harmful, so our bodies are only able to absorb it when they receive a chemical signal from Vitamin D. This vitamin is produced in our skin when it is exposed to sunlight, so we need sunlight in order to build our bones and muscles. Bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding, but without enough calcium, they can’t rebuild fast enough to keep up with their rate of resorption, and become brittle. Whe
