SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Wano Chiropractic Weight Loss & Laser Center Brings Unique Weight Loss Solution to Peters Township W hen Dr. Tony Wano opened up the Wano Chiropractic Weight Loss & Laser Center in Washington in 2004, his goal was to help his patients lead healthier lives and feel better overall. When he opened a second location in McMurray a little less than two years ago, his goal was to make it easier for all of his patients to receive the services he provides. “My wife Stacy, who’s also my office manager and Zerona Z6 Laser specialist, and I wanted to make it easier on our patients who were travelling all the way to Washington for treatments,” Dr. Wano said. “Our thought process was that we’re from the McMurray area anyway and it would be closer to home, so we decided to open up the second location in Waterdam Plaza.” Those treatments include the one-of-a-kind, Zerona Z6 Fat Loss Laser, the only FDA approved fat-loss laser shown to provide 3.72 inches in circumferential fat reduction in FDA clinical trials. Dr. Wano said this process when combined with a custom weight loss program typically results in our patients losing 5 to 9 inches after just six sessions. “This is a non-invasive fat-loss laser that creates a transitory pore in fat cells, essentially releasing stored fat to be utilized for energy,” he said. “There’s no pain, no anesthesia, no needles, no down time. The 40-minute sessions spend 20 minutes on the front, 20 on the back and all followed up with a 10-minute lymphatic massage. Over the last 27 years we‘ve seen over 10,000 weight loss cases on our time tested weight loss system, and this is the first time that you can actually target a problem area, changing fat distribution as the patient is losing the weight.” 60 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com The ability to change fat distribution is a key to the Zerona Z6’s success. When the body loses fat, it’s lost evenly throughout body. If an overweight person has a pear shape, for example, when they lose weight, they will still have the same body shape, because they’re losing weight evenly from the entire body, not just hips, legs or abs. “First of all, you need fat cells to regulate your body. But they’re like suitcases - they expand as you gain weight and collapse when you lose weight. Other methods, like cold sculpting, traumatizes the cell, so if people gain weight after the procedure, it distibutes fat into areas where it wasn’t before,” Dr. Wano said. “Regained weight might all go to your arms or face. The bottom line is you’ll have a disproportionate regain. With Zerona, you never traumatize the cell and you can offer a patient the opportunity to change their distribution as they’re losing the weight. It’s more target-specific overall, which is really unique.” An added benefit is that a laser treatment leaves patients feeling very relaxed and more energized since stored fat is being released into the body to be burned as energy by other cells. The Zerona Z6 has been a staple of the McMurray center since they opened up, and last year the Wano Chiropractic Weight Loss & Laser Center was one of the top Zerona providers in the country. But it’s not all about the laser with Dr. Wano. He wants to ensure his patients have the right dietary education and assistance to keep the weight off, allowing them to lead healthier lives overall. “We customize weight loss programs for our patients in conjuction with or without Zerona therapy,” he said. “Over the last 27 years, we’ve helped more than 10,000 people lose weight and the plans I build for them are based on their lab profiles, body composition testing, medical and dietary histories. I construct an individualized plan for each patient and make it as easy to follow as possible with all store- bought and restaurant food considerations in place.
