What makes WNY Pain Relief unique?

So what does make this practice unique?

We have a different philosophy. We believe that pain relief shouldn’t just come in the form of a pill. True pain relief comes from identifying the underlying cause of pain causing inflammation and giving the body the tools it needs to move inflammation out. To that end we use a variety of technologies in combination with the practice of Chiropractic care to reduce people’s symptoms.

What kind of technology are you using?

We are using the latest in electro stimulation therapy, it’s called Electroanalgesia. It was designed

BY BRANDON SCHULTZ

by Doctors who were looking to avoid the opioid epidemic. It uses sophisticated programing along with safe electric current to improve blood circulation and to perform rehabilitation directly to the peripheral nervous system. We also use Low Level Laser therapies using advanced Class IV Laser systems and light systems utilizing infrared radiation and LED light diodes. These directly stimulate damaged tissue and also work to improve blood circulation.

We also utilize the most proven technology in Spinal Decompression. Millions of Americans deal with Chronic Low Back Pain from age and injury related conditions like Stenosis, Sciatica, Disc Degeneration and Bulging or Herniated discs. These conditions can be rehabilitated. There are studies that show a correlation between increased intervertebral disc space and reduced amounts of back pain.

You keep mentioning blood circulation?

So with most Chronic conditions and acute injuries, the primary cause of pain is inflammation. With swelling you have a reduction of nutrients reaching the afflicted area, you also have blood prevented from flowing out of the area which prevents normal metabolic waste from leaving the area. Good blood circulation allows these vital processes to happen. We utilize technology that helps the body do what it does best, without medication.

So how does a person find out more about these therapies?

I always recommend a stop at our website at https:// buffalopainrelief.com. We keep additional information abou t the technologies we use. We are also available by phone at (716) 650-7246. We do free education seminars on the topics of low back pain and different forms of Neuropathy. We also do free and thorough one on one consultations with one of our Doctors.
