Benefits of Laser Therapy
At Wilson Family Chiropractic, we offer advanced Laser Therapy using our high-powered 20-watt Aspen Laser to help reduce pain, support healing, and improve mobility. This noninvasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair and improving circulation in the treated area.
Treatments are quick, comfortable, and effective for people of all ages. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or ongoing discomfort, Laser Therapy is a powerful, natural tool to help you feel better and move better.
Reduce pain and inflammation
Light energy helps calm irritated tissues and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Speed recovery from injuries
By increasing cellular activity and blood flow, laser therapy can help tissues heal more efficiently.
Improve joint and muscle function
Many patients notice better movement and less stiffness after treatment.
Support chronic problem areas
Laser therapy can be a helpful option for long-standing aches, overuse injuries, and areas slow to heal.
Reduced Scar Tissue
The laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following damage from cuts, scratches, acne, or burns and surgery.
Improved Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in areas of reduced sensitivity and feeling, risking further injury. The laser speeds nerve repair to restore feeling to these numb areas.
Anti-Inflammatory Action
The laser reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give enhanced joint mobility and reduced pain.
Faster Wound Healing
The laser accelerates the development of new cells for skin, muscles, blood vessels, bone and nerves, reducing the time to return to health and activity.
Laser therapy has photobiomodulation beneficial effects for relieving pain, resolving inflammation and increasing the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair. It has also been shown to stimulate the immune system, resolve infection and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue. Laser therapy is also effective in increasing collagen production, bone repair, reducing edema, increasing lymphatic drainage, and increasing production of capillary beds.
What is Laser Therapy Used For?
Clinical studies show that laser therapy achieves excellent outcomes in wound healing, reduction of inflammation and side-effect-free pain relief. Laser therapy is painless, non-ablative, non-invasive and does not cause any trauma or damage to the treated tissues.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?
Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of light and allowing the body to make its own repairs. The laser loads light energy into the cells and organizes energetic and biochemical interactions that promote and support pain relief, cell regeneration, collagen production and new tissue formation.
The process also reduces inflammation, improves blood flow and accelerates healing.
In general, the biostimulatiing effects of laser therapy are from its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-edematous effects.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Yes. Often, from the first treatment, the range of motion will increase.
Will My Range of Motion Increase?
The number of treatments varies based upon conditions. Generally, 5-6 treatments are needed in a treatment cycle to achieve the best result.
How Many Treatments Will Need to be Administered?
Absolutely!
Can the Laser be Used Over Metal Implants?
We have seen that many patients get immediate relief from their first treatment.
Will I Feel Immediate Relief?
Results vary with each patient. However, in our experience results last 3-4 days after the first treatment.
The period of pain relief increases as more treatments are performed.
How Long Will the Relief Last?
