I was happy to hear my favorite acupuncture practitioner decided to expand her office space near my home. Jessica Breton has treated me for serious chronic pain issues as well as tune ups for general well being for years. She decided to team up with some other diverse health and wellness professionals to offer our neighborhood a very well rounded and comprehensive set of offers from which to choose. This delights me because I am an extreme local shopper, wishing to support businesses as close to home as possible. I can bike to the center in five minutes to receive the highest quality services I know of in Tucson. The specialists who practice at Zylla offer a unique synergy of services for transforming health issues.

Jessica is accomplished in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and tui na. She is very attentive and hands on in her treatments.
Justine Robbins is trained in cranio-sacral therapy and lymphatic drainage. She recently purchased a Theralase cold laser that she uses to produce miraculous results, decreasing pain and inflammation. This medical breakthrough is non-invasive, painless, and quick. I am extra pleased to have access to the magic Theralase right in my ‘hood.
Denise Cabrera joins the team as an RN with a specialty in functional medicine. Her business, Natural Diabetes Nurse, serves patients who want to find natural alternatives to manage or prevent diabetes. This approach is much needed in the world today. I expect Denise to make a big difference with her coaching and medical practice. Folks need to be educated to improve their own wellness.

The grand opening party was a blast, with all ages and all walks of life attending. Welcome to Midtown Tucson del Norte. This is my kind of upgrade to the area.

How to Cure Inflammation

June 14, 2016 — 2 Comments

I have been a client and fan of Justine Robbins for many years. She is a very talented and skilled cranio-sacral therapist as well as a lymphatic drainage expert. She knows my body well, and has always helped me keep my health in balance. I believe regular lymphatic drainage by a competent therapist is one of the best investments I can make to my long-term well-being. The lymphatic system is an often overlooked key player in the body’s defense against disease. The lymph carries away inflammation and infection. When it is out-of-order consequences can be very serious our health. The lymphatic flow can heal itself and rebuild pathways to bring back function to the area. If it is damaged therapy relieves swelling and inflammation by rerouting the lymphatic fluid. In time the body establishes working routes for this crucial drainage.

Any time you have an incision you will cut and disrupt the lymphatic system. I recently had a surgery on my arm that resulted in some puffiness around the site. It is not serious or painful, but I wanted to test Justine’s new laser system. Her new office is close to home, which I love. The treatment consists of socially catching up with Justine (in my case) while she runs the laser over the area for about 10 minutes. She has discovered the therapy works best if short consecutive sessions are used. Of course I can’t know how my arm would be if I had done nothing, but I can see and feel a difference in the swelling present today. I will continue the series to speed the healing on my incision. I am pleased to know that this space age treatment is available to me in the future. Theralase is my new best friend.

If you live in Tucson you can visit Justine’s practice, LightSpeed Therapy at 3333 N. Campbell Ave, Suite 2. She can be reached at 520-908-8907. I highly recommend her services and this new cool tool. Some Canadian insurance covers this kind of treatment, and we hope in time the US will discover the efficacy of this non invasive therapy.
