Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care
Since its introduction into health care, laser therapy has been used to treat numerous conditions. At Waterloo North Chiropractic & Massage, we invest in new technology to improve the health of our patients.
What is Laser Therapy?
Also known as low intensity laser therapy, this therapy uses a specific light for treatment. Unlike other light sources, laser light can be tuned to specific wavelengths, allowing it to be focused in powerful beams. The light is so powerful that it can be used to cut diamonds or steel. In medical applications, laser therapy enables our chiropractors and other other medical practitioners to achieve high levels of precision by focusing the light on a specific area, causing no damage to the surrounding tissues.
Conditions Treatable by Laser Therapy
Laser therapy works by stimulating cells to encourage faster healing. And since laser therapy can be used to stimulate numerous cell types, including the cells making up ligaments, muscles, nerves, and so on, it can be used to treat multiple conditions. Some may include:
* Arthritis pain
* Back pain
* Post-surgery healing
* Carpal tunnel syndrome
* Neck pain
* Back pain
* Knee pain
* Sprains
* Strains
* Bursitis
* Joint pain
* Tendonitis
* Fibromyalgia pain
* Shoulder pain
As you can see, laser therapy is a versatile treatment used in treating acute and chronic pain. No wonder many patients in Canada aren't shy about trying laser therapy, given the numerous benefits it provides.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
One of the obvious benefits of laser therapy is that it's a non-invasive procedure with little to no side effects. This treatment doesn't have a downtime, unlike many other traditional treatments. Laser therapy is an effective treatment with many benefits, such as:
* Provides relief for chronic pain: If you have been suffering from chronic pain from conditions like arthritis, laser therapy effectively provides relief.
* Accuracy: Laser therapy is a high-precision treatment, helping the chiropractor target the treatment in the injured area without affecting the surrounding tissues.
* Reduces Inflammation: Besides alleviating pain, laser therapy is excellent for reducing reducing swelling and inflammation. Reducing swelling is essential because the swelling puts pressure on the surrounding organs, causing pain.
* Stimulates blood circulation: Laser therapy improves blood circulation, enabling the supply of essential nutrients to the injured area, speeding up the healing process.
* Promotes faster healing: Laser therapy expedites the healing process by triggering the body's self-healing properties.
