Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a promising approach for pain management, offering a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional methods.
Our pain management lasers help activate your body’s ability to repair itself. The pain management laser can help stimulate anti-inflammatory responses, improve blood flow and restore nerve function in damaged tissue, which can help relieve your pain and speed up recovery.
When applied to the skin, the light waves emitted by the laser penetrate deep into the tissue, where they are absorbed by the mitochondria – the energy powerhouses of cells. This absorption triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions, leading to increased cellular energy production and the release of signaling molecules that modulate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration.
The common underlying factor in pain management is inflammation in the body, whether that is caused by an injury or a chronic condition. Our pain management laser may help decrease inflammation and promote tissue healing and regeneration. This is one non-invasive method to help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and your body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissue.
Each modality we offer at Legacy Lyfe is a thread in the tapestry of your vibrancy. Experience how our tailored treatments, cutting-edge therapies, and expert care converge to elevate your health:
From precise adjustment techniques – including Diversified, Thompson, Webster Technique, Activator and more — our spinal and extremity adjustments reinstate harmony within your body's biomechanics.
Our IASTM practice revitalizes your muscles, liberating them from the grip of scar tissue and reinstating optimal blood flow.
This type of therapy works by sending photon energy deep into the cellular level, which helps to stimulate blood flow, reduces inflammation, decreases pain and activates the mitochondria in our cells to produce more energy for healing.
Utilizes sound waves to go deeper into the tissues to decrease swelling/inflammation, reduce pain and stimulate healing.
We stimulate the nerves and muscles by using electric currents that decrease pain signaling, stimulate proper muscle contraction, and promote tissue healing.
Our cupping technique is used by suctioning cups to injured/tight areas of the body to increase blood flow, promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. Cupping can have great benefits on healing and breaking through fascial adhesions and restrictions in the connective tissue.
Utilizes high-energy acoustic waves that are generated and delivered to injured/damaged tissues, resulting in increased circulation, enhanced tissue regeneration, pain reduction and improved cellular metabolism.
Applies sustained pressure, stretching, and massage to the fascial tissue to help release trigger points, myofascial restrictions and improve flexibility.
We utilize a variety of dynamic stretching techniques, which focuses on actively moving the joints and muscles through full range of motion for increased flexibility. These stretches focus on a continuous, controlled movement to increase blood flow to multiple muscle groups and joints for overall enhanced range of motion and activation of the muscles.
This technique utilizes a specific treatment table that is controlled by the chiropractor to facilitate movements on the patient's lumbar spine, designed to alleviate pain and improve spinal mobility for those experiencing disc related issues or degenerative changes in their lumbar spine.
Across musculoskeletal and functional horizons, our chiropractors use specific protocols that may include spinal adjustments, modalities, supplement/nutrition/lifestyle recommendations and comanaging care with our PT/Medical departments as well as outside medical providers.
Dr. Shayna is our specialized pediatric and perinatal care provider, who is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. She offers specific adjustment protocols that are a gentle and safe way to support the health and well-being of mothers-to-be, postpartum, infants and children. She is also certified in the Webster Technique, which is a specific technique designed to address pelvic imbalance and tension during pregnancy.
Our cross-disciplinary synergy fuels repair, wards off injury, and fans the flames of elemental athleticism spurring on your life’s every pursuit.
Your journey begins with a thorough PT evaluation conducted by our experienced physical therapist, where you will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and goals. Through this evaluation our physical therapist will provide insights into your condition, assess your strength, range of motion, and discuss areas in need of improvement.
The treatment plan serves as your roadmap to recovery, outlining specific goals, interventions, and timelines. Whether your focus is on pain relief, mobility and strength restoration, or performance enhancement, each session is designed to challenge you to optimize your outcomes and reach your goals.
After identifying areas of weakness, your PT team will develop a program that attacks those deficiencies with specific, targeted exercises that will build your strength where you need it most.
Our manual therapy consists of various techniques including instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization to joint manipulation, these interventions play a vital role in restoring range of motion, reducing muscle and joint pain, and improving mobility.
Involves the use of a tight strap to partially restrict blood flow during exercise to help promote muscle hypertrophy and accelerate strength gains.
These protocols focus on the assessment and management of symptoms. Our PT, Chiropractic and Medical team work together to address the physical, functional, and cognitive aspect of individuals recovery through specific exercises and training. The PT team will specifically focus on the Vestibular Rehab and Exertion Therapy side of concussion management (see more below).
This technique (also known as scraping) uses specific tools to break through fascial restrictions and scar tissue to reduce inflammation and stimulate blood flow to the affected tissues.
This type of therapy works by sending photon energy deep into the cellular level, which helps to stimulate blood flow, reduces inflammation, decreases pain and activates the mitochondria in our cells.
This technique utilizes compression sleeves that pulsate air to massage the limbs to increase blood flow, reduce muscle soreness and accelerate recovery.
This technique utilizes a specific treatment table that is controlled by the chiropractor to facilitate movements on the patient's lumbar spine, designed to alleviate pain and improve spinal mobility for those experiencing disc related issues or degenerative changes in their lumbar spine.
Aims to help improve proprioception, stability and coordination to mitigate fall risks and rehab after orthopedic injuries/surgeries, concussions, or vestibular disorders.
Our PT department specializes in sports/orthopedic focused care by forming specific care plans tailored to that individual to restore function, strength and flexibility to return you to your sport/activity as soon as possible. This may include therapy for sports related injuries, joint replacements, ligament/tendon injuries and more.
We provide tailored exercise programs and interventions to facilitate recovery after surgical procedures like tendon repairs, joint replacements, and ligament reconstructions.
With a focused injury prevention plan we can help assess movement patterns by addressing muscle imbalances and providing education and specific exercises to reduce the risk of injuries, especially the all too common, ACL tear.
A technique that uses very thin, non-medicated needles into a trigger point that is causing spasms or tight muscle knots, to help alleviate muscle pains and increase blood flow.
Vestibular therapy focuses on addressing dysfunction within the vestibular balance system through specific exercises and training to help improve balance, spatial orientation, and coordination. Exertion therapy involves carefully managing increased physical activity to gradually reintroduce individuals to exercise without exacerbating symptoms. This is commonly used during the management of concussions.

Beyond its anti-inflammatory effects, our pain management laser can help accelerate tissue repair and regeneration by enhancing cellular metabolism and protein synthesis. By optimizing mitochondrial function, our pain management laser can also help boost the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells, which fuels various cellular processes involved in tissue repair. Additionally, Legacy Lyfe’s pain management laser may help promote angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels – thereby improving blood circulation to the affected area and facilitating the delivery of oxygen and nutrients essential for healing.
