| "Total body wellness” is a key phrase when describing how the Fritz Wellness Center works to make a difference for its patients in Longmont. Having been part of the community for over 25 years, the Fritz Wellness Center is a family run chiropractic facility featuring the latest techniques and procedures. Its employees say they are dedicated to making sure that their patients achieve their wellness objectives through non-invasive treatments, as well as the body’s natural ability to self-heal. While traditional chiropractic services have been part of the practice over the years, Dr. Thomas R. Fritz is also certified in chiropractic acupuncture, soft laser therapy, allergy de-sensitivity and testing, and emotional release therapy. Another service featured at the Fritz Wellness Center is Zerona laser therapy, which is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction. “We have had a great success rate with the Zerona laser,” says Denise Fritz, clinical coordinator for the Zerona Laser Therapy. “It is a terrific alternative for some people who need that little extra push to lose some of those problem inches but might be hesitant to undergo the traditional surgical procedures involved with liposuction.” While most of the Fritz Wellness Center looks like a traditional chiropractic office with the latest technology for its treatments, stepping into the Zerona laser room seems to me like walking into any room of a resort spa. “We wanted to help our patients be as relaxed and comfortable as possible while they have the Zerona procedures done,” explains Denise. “Because we concentrate on the entire patient in every aspect of our practice, making sure people are comfortable while they are receiving their laser treatments is important for success.” According to the “Zerona Lipo Laser” section of the Fritz Wellness Center’s Web site, the low-level laser used for this procedure does not produce heat, is totally non-invasive, and has never produced any recorded side effects. Low-level lasers have been in use for over 40 years for the treatment of many conditions such as chronic pain, wound healing, and many other orthopedic conditions. In fact, according to Denise, low-level or “soft” lasers are used at the Fritz Wellness Center for many other procedures. The success they have had with those procedures is one reason why Dr. Fritz decided to offer the Zerona laser to his patients and the community. “The whole process is fairly simple and definitely not painful,” stresses Denise. “We schedule our patients for nine visits—three per week for three weeks—which only take about an hour. Most importantly, the patients can immediately return to their regular daily schedule. There is no recovery process like (with) surgical procedures.” Patient Joyce Baker has been a Fritz Wellness Center patient for over 10 years. Joyce says she was curious when she heard about the Zerona laser and what it can do for patients. “As someone who is very interested in physical fitness and wellness, I had seen a flyer from the Wellness Center. I went to a seminar about the laser and what it could do,” says Joyce. “After attending the seminar, I decided to try the procedure and I am very happy with the results.” Joyce reports that she has lost inches all over her body, and that she has experienced an all-over skin firming and tightening as well. “The whole process was like a mini spa vacation,” she says. According to the Web site, the Zerona offers several advantages over liposuction and other invasive body contouring procedures. The Web site says it’s completely safe, and the cost is considerably less than liposuction. Unlike many other procedures, large areas can be done at one time with no additional “cost per zone.” The technology creates a temporary pore in the fat cells, which then releases the liquefied fat into the interstitial (empty) space around the fat cells. This excess fat is then eliminated through the body during its normal course of detoxification. Denise stresses that the Zerona laser is not for every patient, but that most people will see significant results after the series of nine treatments. “We offer a free consultation for anyone interested in the Zerona laser therapy,” she says. “This is so we can make sure that there are no underlying medical conditions that might inhibit a successful result.’ For many patients, another advantage of having the Zerona laser procedure done is that it provides a jump-start for their lifestyle modifications for overall better health, Denise says. “What we have found is that many of our patients who have the procedure done then make permanent changes to their exercise and nutrition habits, which helps them toward a total improvement in wellness.” Denise stresses that the only requirement of those who choose to have the treatments done is that they avoid drinking alcohol during the treatment period. There are no special dietary requirements other than making sure to be properly hydrated. Dr. Fritz recommends that patients continue moderate exercise as well as their other normal activities during the treatment period to help the body to detoxify. In addition to the Zerona laser procedure, The Fritz Wellness Center offers a full line of services, support, and treatments to help you achieve your wellness objectives. Dr. Fritz offers cold laser procedures for injuries, advanced chiropractic care, spinal and postural screenings, allergy treatment, as well as the IonCleanse body purification process. As a family owned and locally operated part of the community for two and a half decades, the Fritz Wellness Center has made a commitment to providing quality chiropractic and natural healing services to Longmont, Dr. Fritz says. He adds that the goal every day is to use the most up-to-date technology to help diagnose and treat patients for lifelong total body health. One way they achieve that goal is through the use of ZYTO technology to perform nutritional health assessments. These assessments use quantum physics and the Galvanic Skin Response technology to measure fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of the skin. This body energetic field assessment tool allows Dr. Fritz to create an appropriate treatment plan for patients to heal with as little medical intervention as possible, he explains. Fritz Wellness Center accepts most types of major medical insurance, and is a Kaiser-Permanente-approved chiropractic facility in Longmont, according to Denise.
