The Future of Healing is Now

Meet three professionals who use modern technology to treat their clients

Cedar Park Laser Pain Center

You may suffer from a herniated disc, carpal tunnel syndrome, or shoulder impingement. If you want to ditch the drugs and skip the scalpel, Cedar Park Laser Pain Center is of assistance.

With the non-invasive, painless solution of Class IV laser therapy, Dr. Tyler Wright treats patients with wavelengths of light. Class IV laser is a form of regenerative medicine that repairs damaged and injured tissues by directly influencing your cells.

“The results are outstanding—miraculous at times,” says Wright. “One patient came in with a partially torn rotator cuff. After four treatments, they were 80% improved. Another patient was suffering from severe Achilles tendinitis and only required six treatments for full resolution.”

Although the time of recovery with Class IV laser depends on the individual, more conditions can be treated than ever before. Through Cedar Park Laser Pain Center, Wright has been able to promise consistency and effectiveness.

“The technology we have available has radically revolutionized our practice,” says Wright. “It’s our duty, as practitioners, to ensure that we are giving our patients the best available care.”

Cedar Park TMS

After attending medical school at Texas Tech, Dr. Brian Earthman was drawn to psychiatry and mental health treatment. At this time, the field was limited within its three gold standards—medication, counseling, and therapy. But mental health treatments are constantly evolving.

Over the past two decades, neuromodulation therapies have emerged to aid in depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions. These therapies are based around the understanding that the nervous system is not only chemically oriented, but also electrically oriented.

“There are many options out there. Go on the internet and search ‘treatments for depression.’ Now, what you’ll have to filter through is what is actually FDA-approved, level-one legitimate treatments,” says Earthman. “Everything we do at Cedar Park TMS is FDA-approved. We don’t want people wasting their time and money on things that aren’t likely to help them out.”

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a revolutionary treatment that Earthman champions. Its neuromodulation devices deliver magnetic pulses that are extremely safe, with the chance of side effects being almost zero.

“We’ve been doing TMS in our clinic—the first ones doing it in Cedar Park—since November of 2018,” says Earthman. “We have tracked every single patient we have delivered TMS treatment to and we are at 80% response and 50% remission. Numbers are great and they tell a big story, but the biggest stories are the patients.”

One of Earthman’s first TMS patients was a woman who had long since resigned herself to living with depression. She spent her teen years trying both medication and counseling with no results. However, since her time undergoing treatment with Earthman, her depression has gone into full remission.

Although Theta Burst Stimulation has taken TMS from a 37-minute treatment to just three short minutes, the story is nowhere near over. To the people who have lost a little hope in their mental health journey, TMS has grown to be much more accessible and widely covered by insurance companies.

“I know the burden that mental health problems have on our society and on individual people. I want the easiest, best, most effective, most durable solutions for everybody,” says Earthman. “If we could wave a magic wand and depression no longer existed, I’d wave it and go find another job.”

R3 CryoSpa

Shae Connor loves to stay on top of the latest and greatest technologies coming onto the wellness and beauty scene. Through her own in-depth research, as well as connections with manufacturers and developers, she brings the most cutting-edge therapies and techniques to R3 CryoSpa.

“Our equipment has to be non-invasive. I want something that’s going to be a healthy alternative to surgery or medication. If we can skip medication altogether and not ask your body to process more chemicals, that’s always awesome,” says Connor. “I also want things that work well with all of the other technologies. There’s no reason why someone that comes in wouldn’t benefit from using pretty much everything we have, unless there’s a specific contraindication.”

One of the newest additions to the R3 CryoSpa arsenal is Flowpresso. Comprised of deep pressure, thermodynamic heat, and compression, Flowpresso is a warm hug that puts your body in the optimum state for healing. You come out of the 40-minute session destressed and toxin-free.

Another must-have technology is the Fit 3D Body Composition Scan. With this, you see where you started and how you have improved over time. Quantifying the results of your treatments helps you feel even more excited about your journey and keeps you educated about your own body. Whether you are in your 30s or your 80s, you can keep your goals in sight.

“Our technologies have improved my quality of life so much, and that’s one of the big reasons why I want to share them. They have made such a big impact on my day-to-day because I’ve had a lot of injuries, and I’m looking for shortcuts just like everybody else,” says Connor. “For everyone that we come in contact with, I hope we’re helping them live a better life in some form or fashion.”
