Smoking Affects Your Hearing

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? If you are a smoker, you can now add increased risk of hearing loss to the list of reasons to quit. The chemicals found in cigarettes may affect the way your ear processes sound. In fact, smokers have been found to be 15% more likely to have hearing loss than non-smokers. Hearing loss isn’t fatal, but it can lead to a number of health-related issues down the line. Dementia & depression have been linked to untreated hearing loss, so be sure to have your ears checked regularly. Get started by scheduling a hearing test today.

Light Therapy for Pain

The more we understand the value of increasing circulation to our tissues, the easier it is to understand how and why low-level polychromatic light therapy (PLT) supports the body’s innate healing processes. PLT can bring about beneficial chemical reactions in nerve cells, which can stimulate healing. PLT can provide a wealth of additional health benefits that support full-body wellness. Many people with symptoms of pain or impaired circulation, such as joint pain, arthritis, and injuries, have experienced positive results from using PLT. Clients choose PLT because it’s convenient, a great value, drug-free, and can offer non-invasive healing properties.
