Laser Therapy Works!
Laser Therapy Works!
We’ve been using laser therapy in our office for over 10 years now.
It is safe, effective, and gets results in over 90% of the cases we accept. The laser works at what it does, which is to speed up healing of damaged tissues, reduce swelling and pain.
The two laser light frequencies can penetrate up to 10 cm (4 inches) into tissues, deep enough to effectively help virtually every joint in your body. The joints that have responded best to our cold laser therapy have been the weight bearing joints (knees, ankles, hips and lower back) and the most mobile joints used often such as your neck, shoulders, wrists, elbows and feet.
We use the laser on recent acute injuries such as sports injuries and weekend warrior injuries as well as long standing arthritis injuries (seniors) like whiplash and work injuries. We have found that even long standing joint and muscle pain from decades of wear and tear have responded, although slower than more recent problems.
The list of conditions we can treat is extensive. Our cold laser machine has over 70 pre-set settings and these can all be modified and changed to customize the experience our patients receive. As a chiropractor, we limit our care to primarily musculo-skeletal complaints. That means if you are experiencing or suffering with any complaints of your muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons, then we are here to help you.
We also do Smoking Cessation programs.
There are a few restrictions that we will not accept. Call to see if you qualify.
In the upper body, we’ve helped many people with neck pain, arthritis, headaches and migraines and conditions associated with neck problems that refer into the shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists and hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome from injuries and over use responds very well.
Mid-body complaints from spinal and rib pain in the upper back and fibromyalgia have responded very well with cold laser therapy. We’ve helped a gentleman with broken ribs from a fall that was suffering for months after a fall in a matter of 12-15 treatments. Fibromyalgia also responded well with laser therapy, exercises and dietary changes.
Low back pain, hip arthritis, knee pain and injuries, plantar fasciitis and other foot complaints all can benefit from cold laser therapy.
The moniker that I’ve always used that if there is Pain, Inflammation or Swelling, the cold laser can probably help. The important thing to remember is that healing takes time and you must be committed to taking the time to heal. The laser will add the necessary light energy into the tissues to speed up the healing. If in doubt, book a free consultation with our certified laser therapist, Kaity, to come in and discuss your condition and find out how you will benefit from cold laser therapy.
There will be a Free Cold Laser Therapy workshop on Wednesday September 18, 2019 from 7-8pm. Call 3437932 to reserve a seat for you and a guest. We have limited seating so call now. All in attendance will be invited to a free consultation or to begin care right away.
