Time to quit smoking…yet?

Stop SmokingDid you know that secondhand smoke causes almost 50,000 deaths in North America every year? That number includes almost 1000 infants. Those are deaths of non-smokers.

Isn’t that shocking?

Smokers are at high-risk for many diseases:

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis)
  • Lung cancer
  • Cancer of the mouth, lip, throat and voice box
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Cervical cancer
  • Stomach cancer
  • Liver cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Bladder cancer

Just to name a few – yikes!

Secondhand smoke can cause all of these diseases and more not only in smokers, but in non-smokers as well. For babies and children, no amount of second-hand smoke is safe. According to the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS), 4.5% of children between the ages of 0 and 17 years were regularly exposed to second-hand smoke in the home.

The thought of those stats is staggering. Isn’t it time for you to quit smoking…yet?

Calgary Laserworks is here to help. Take the plunge. Call 403-301-3730 NOW!

Kick the habit in 2017 – your life will be richer for it!

“It’s easy to quit smoking. I’ve done it hundreds of times.” – Mark Twain

You know the health risks of smoking but that hasn’t stopped you. In fact, you’ve been thinking and even talking about quitting for years. Well don’t feel guilty. You’re definitely not alone. Nicotine is powerful stuff. Many people try to quit smoking several times before they kick the habit for good.

At Calgary Laserworks we use a low level laser (cold laser) instead of needles to target key energy points on the body. These points are found around the ears, nose, hand and wrist, and when stimulated endorphins –  the body’s natural feel-good hormones – are released. This endorphin release has a calming, relaxing effect on the body which helps to reduce or eliminate nicotine cravings and the desire for cigarettes, as well as withdrawal symptoms.

In addition to stimulating an endorphin release, the laser stimulates the body’s natural ability to detoxify the nicotine, helping you through the nicotine withdrawal more quickly.

Low level laser treatments are a safe, non-invasive, pain-free, drug-free and highly effective solution that will help you quit smoking for good.

Don’t doubt yourself – set a date to quit in 2017 – you CAN do it!

Call Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730 today.

Calgary Laserworks & Reflexology can help boost your health

Make 2017 your best year yet!

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health, you have nothing.”

All it takes is one extended bout on the sidelines of life and you understand the truth in that expression.

Studies have shown that any number of things can have a detrimental effect on your health. Stress and worry can lead to immune system breakdown and heart-related issues. Smoking is HUGE factor in the state of your health. It has been proven to cause lung disease, cancer, emphysema and coronary breakdown, to name just a few.

Studies also show that being thankful and happy can reduce stress. Research shows that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic, something you can’t effect very much, 10% is based on surroundings (job, money and family), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through behaviour.

So how can Calgary Laserworks and Reflexology help with your health?

We can help you take deliberate actions! We’ll help you stop smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, reduce headaches, help you with weight loss and help you relax, all which can improve your immune system and much, much more.

Choose healthy goals and feel good about meeting them this year by calling 403-301-3730!  You’ll be so grateful and proud of yourself for taking the steps to improve your health and well-being!

LLLT therapy promotes healing – simple as that!

Low level lasers have been proven to be a remarkably safe, effective, painless, and medication-free therapy option for many decades now.

Low level lasers are also known as “cold” lasers, meaning that they do not have a thermal effect and are used to stimulate tissue rather than destroy it. The “cold” laser does not cause any tissue damage because healthy cells exhibit weak or no effects from the low-power laser while unhealthy cells exhibit strong effects. Low level lasers have been in use since the 1960’s to help relieve a variety of conditions and no adverse side effects or negative impacts have been recorded.

With low level laser, a visible coherent light is applied to specific acupuncture points of the body (ears, hands, feet, etc.). Acupuncture points are access points to the body’s energy path ways called “meridians”. This light energy passes through the layers of the skin at these points and is received within the cell membrane by specific receptors. This causes an increase in the energy in the cell which jump-starts changes that positively stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to restore energy and re-balance the body.

Low Level Laser therapy promotes healing. It’s as simple as that!

If you’re struggling with migraines, stress and anxiety, weight control, or if you’ve been trying to quit smoking without any success, we can definitely help.

Get in touch today. Call 403-301-3730 for a free consultation and discover how low level laser therapy can be put to work so that you can get control over your life again!

Helping Smokers Become Free of Addiction

quitsmokgclockNicotine in cigarettes is a powerfully addictive drug. It is the ingredient that causes the physical addiction to tobacco. Nicotine is a mild stimulant which increases activity in the brain just like caffeine, cocaine and amphetamine. It’s also a powerful toxin, and likely the reason you coughed when smoking your first cigarettes all those years ago.

Many people don’t quit smoking because they think it’s too hard, and it’s true that quitting isn’t easy for many people. After all, not only is smoking a physical addiction, but a psychological habit as well. Most people will try and quit many times before finally being successful.

Calgary Laserworks can help you get over both the physical and psychological dependency. We focus on treating the three most common symptoms associated with withdrawal:

  • Block the need for nicotine
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Suppress your appetite

We will support you and work with you when you need it the most. During this time we will:

  • help you understand the necessary physical and psychological changes as this is the key to success
  • provide information to help you change your behaviour, make smarter choices, and of course, live a healthier life
  • help you kick the nicotine addiction because we know quitting can be difficult, a bit frightening, and stressful

Stop smoking and free yourself from your nicotine addiction with low level laser treatment.

The procedure is very relaxing, non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free, affordable, and produces great results. Call Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730 today!

A Fresh Start for 2016

Happy New Year!

quitsmoking2016Looking for an easy-to-keep resolution to help you quit smoking and improve your overall health? Try low level laser therapy. It’s

  • Safe
  • Easy
  • Affordable
  • Effective

If you’ve tried to quit smoking you know how difficult it is. Few people ever succeed with things like gum or the patch because they are still putting nicotine into their body. Laser therapy treatments can help manage nicotine cravings, keeping you calm and relaxed during the first crucial weeks.

Laser therapy uses “cold lasers” instead of needles in an acupuncture-like treatment. The procedure is non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free and is considered a non-medical procedure. It helps with the physical part of the addiction by stimulating key pathways on the ears, nose, fingers and wrists (acupuncture points). This stimulation provides a natural high by sending a signal to your brain to produce large amounts of pain relieving chemicals called endorphins. This flush of endorphins leaves you with a feeling of overall well-being, while greatly alleviating most, if not all, of the cravings for nicotine, withdrawal symptoms, and the temptation to smoke another cigarette.

Don’t delay. Quit today.

We will support you and work with you when you need it the most. During this time you will be making changes both physically and habitually. Calgary Laserworks will:

  • help you understand these changes as this is the key to success
  • provide information to help you change your behavior, make smarter choices, and of course, live a healthier life
  • help you kick the nicotine addiction because we know quitting can be difficult, a bit frightening, and stressful

Give us a call at 403-301-3730. You’ll be so relieved you did!
