Laser Therapy

Here at our clinic, our main goal is to get the patient well and pain free. We pride ourselves in bringing the latest technology to do just that, whether it’s with a new supplement or the addition of advanced technologies such as the PEMF( Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) machine, Spinal Decompression or Laser therapy.

Deep tissue laser therapy delivers results and is the perfect complement to chiropractic care and we’re proud to offer this therapy to our patients!

The Class IV laser delivers, deep, penetrating, *photonic energy to bring about profound physiological changes. ATP (energy) production is increased, inflammation and pain reduced and circulation increased at the site of injury.

*photon=basic unit that makes up light

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation to change the condition of damaged tissue by stimulating cellular metabolism, thereby accelerating the healing process. As light pours into the tissue, *photons will be scattered, reflected, and absorbed.

The recent development of higher-power, Class IV systems affords the clinician the ability to efficiently deliver adequate doses of light deep into tissue to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing.

Laser therapy is endorsed by professional clinical organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP®). Over 3,000 research studies have been conducted in the field.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy can be used to treat pain and inflammation associated with the following conditions:

• Neuropathy
• Neck Pain
• Bursitis
• Disk Issues
• Low Back Pain
• Sport Injuries
• Strains and Sprains
• Shoulder and Knee
• Tendonitis
• Epicondylitis – Inflammation of tendons in the elbow
• Plantar Fasciitis – Inflammation of the thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes
• Sciatica – Pain radiates from the lower back down the back of the leg
• Tendonois – Chronic condition involving deterioration of the tendon which attaches muscle to bone. Most commonly involves the achilles tendon.

Laser therapy is used to address acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery.

When treating acute conditions with laser therapy, it is particularly effective when administered as soon as possible following injury.

With chronic conditions, laser therapy is used most often to help combat persistent pain and inflammation. Light Force Lasers are used by over 250 pro, college and Olympic sports teams across the United States and many parts of Europe and East Asia to aid in post-activity recovery.

Usually, a treatment takes anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size and depth of one’s condition being treated and how chronic it has been. We use the highest-powered laser available which delivers a lot of energy in a small amount of time, allowing therapeutic dosages to be achieved quickly.

Patients will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.

Patients receiving a treatment with a high-powered laser such as ours frequently report a rapid decrease in pain. For someone suffering from chronic pain, this effect can be particularly pronounced.

Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as clothing and topical dressings such as creams, oils, sprays, bandages, wraps, and removable casts interfere with delivering light to the tissues beneath the skin. It is recommended that you wear clothing that will allow for easy access and exposure to the area that needs to be treated such as sweatpants, shorts, loose tops, etc. If necessary, you may be asked to change into a treatment gown, remove bandages or other dressings for us to deliver the treatment properly.

Please note: Do not use creams, oils, and sprays on the area being treated on treatments days.
