If you are over the age of 30 and have rotator cuff problems, frozen shoulder or arthritis, there could be hope. Low level laser therapy, or cold laser, has helped patients increase shoulder strength, improve motion and eliminate shoulder pain. Cold laser therapy has been tested for 40 years, and has been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system. Dr. Pedro A. Orta, D.C., will discuss this technology and how it may help you.

If you have any of the following conditions: sharp pains in the back of the leg, lower back pain, herniated/bulging discs, numbness in your arms or legs, shooting hip or thigh pain, muscle spasms, sprains and strains, you may have "Sciatica."

Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by L4 or L5 disc herniations. Sciatica can be a very painful problem, even crippling at times. Spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, sciatica and back pain. This could mean that in a few weeks you could be back on the golf course, traveling or doing whatever it is that you have not been able to enjoy. Come hear Dr. Pedro A. Orta, D.C., discuss this technology.

Insomnia is a common and often chronic complaint in clinical settings. The National Sleep Foundation estimates that 69 million Americans report chronic insomnia and 150 million report occasional insomnia in any given year. Many resort to drugs that are often habit forming and have detrimental side effects, but this is not necessary. There are many natural therapies that can relieve insomnia and/or correct the underlying cause so that you can get a good night's rest again. Come listen to Dr. Pedro A. Orta ,a holistic Chiropractic Physician, lecture on this most important topic.

The need for managing chronic conditions together with a physician shortage has accelerated integration of nurse practitioners, physician associates and others in the healthcare system. Few people understand their education, training, and scope of practice. This knowledge is essential for your health and safety. This course provides detailed information about the clinical team and who to access for common situations.
