Are you suffering from back pain or neck pain? With the help of therapeutic laser therapy, you can now find relief for your lower back pain, neck, and disc pain, soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, joint conditions, arthritis, wound management, and inflammatory conditions. Low back pain will affect 75 to 80 percent of all Americans at some point during their lifetime. Approximately 50% of these will have a recurrence within a year. The vast majority of acute low back pain is the result of injury such as a sprain or strain. Therapeutic Laser Therapy provide patients with a safe, effective and painless therapy that uses the body's own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration. Treatment of both acute and chronic pain conditions is experienced within a short period of time, allowing patients to regain their active and healthy lifestyles. Therapeutic Laser Therapy is a non-surgical, highly effective treatment for relieving your pain. How Does Therapeutic Laser Therapy Work? An FDA cleared procedure; Therapeutic Laser Therapy is a physical modality that emits light in specific regions of the electro-magnetic spectrum. Therapeutic Laser Therapy requires no unusual equipment or precautions, except for safety glasses worn by both patient and chiropractor. It is a simple and painless procedure, in which the probe, that looks a lot like a flashlight, is held close to the skin on the area being treated. The chiropractor or assistant will apply light to firm pressure to the area to improve the penetration of the energy. Applied for a specific period of time, the therapeutic laser is applied for a specific period of time in order to deliver the proper amount of laser energy. The amount of time applied will depend on the patient's specific condition being treated. Treatment times vary based upon the size of the area and the predetermined depth of the therapy, with most treatments taking 10 to 20 minutes. Benefits of Therapeutic Laser Therapy Rapid cell growth is promoted with the use of therapeutic laser therapy. The laser accelerates cellular reproduction and growth, in addition to faster wound healing. It stimulates cell growth in damaged tissues and the reduction in recovery time is also an important consideration. Additionally, therapeutic laser therapy: • Increases metabolic activity
• Improves the quality of scar tissue following damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery
• Reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints
• Improves joint mobility
• Stimulates blood circulation to allow the affected tissue to have the best possible circulation
• Promotes nerve function
• The laser helps speed the process of nerve cell reconnection in cases of numbness Therapeutic laser therapy promotes the release of the body's own pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain, adrenal glands, and other areas. This facilitates long lasting pain relief for the patient. Contact your Lansing chiropractor today if you are experiencing pain in your back, neck or any other area.
