What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation. Photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex
within mitochondria. This interaction triggers a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism
and a decrease in both pain and inflammation.
Isn’t it the same as Ultrasound? Does it Work?

A review of 6 random controlled trials
that included 860 individual patients and
published in the peer reviewed medical
journal The Lancet: “Laser therapy was
found to immediately reduce neck pain
AND maintained results up to 22 weeks
after completion of treatment”

beach in Rockaway Park! Enjoy all that this fantastic area has to offer from its beautiful beach and
legendary boardwalk to its always expanding and creative food scene. The secret is officially out
on the Rockaway Renaissance! This affordable unit can serve as a weekend retreat, seasonal beach
home or primary residence. Featuring direct, unobstructed access to the beach and offering its
residents exclusive access to showers and restrooms on the (newly renovated) lobby level, this is a
beach lover's dream yet priced to fit every budget. The low monthly maintenance of $580,
combined with the low asking price make this an opportunity that people simply cannot afford to
miss!
