SO HOW EXACTLY DOES Laser Therapy Work?

Pain management is really a field where many practitioners get frustrated. Inside our clinic we see it all the time as a lot of the more difficult cases can be found in after they have seen everyone else and a chiropractor is their last resort.  https://lightforcemedical.com/laser-therapy/  doesn't always imply that we have to do more, sometimes what appears like an extremely little treatment can produce marvelous results.

Take laser therapy for instance; this is a popular treatment now from everything from foot fungus to weight reduction. Now personally I haven't seen the studies that it is effective for all of the numerous uses people are finding for this but I know from the research and from my very own clinical experience that it is a highly effective therapy for pain management together with some of the more traditional methods like physical therapy, chiropractic, acute injury and chronic injury management protocols and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization.

Lasers for use in pain therapy are starting to gain recognition in this country. The FDA cleared Low Level Laser Therapy for use in pain, inflammation, and wound healing in 2002; however, some great benefits of LLLT have been recognized and successfully used overseas for many years. Studies have shown LLLT to reduce neck and back pain by as much as 70% with no known side effects.

The theory may be the laser excites the targeted cells in the injured tissue, causing the cells to send out a sign that healing needs to take place in the area being treated. This signal travels throughout the bloodstream, connective tissues, and nervous system to significantly speed up your body's response and healing time. Interestingly, researchers also have discovered that LLLT boosts healing throughout the body, not just in the area being treated.

Many will be surprised to learn that more is not better when it comes to LLLT; the effective dose is quite small. Typical treatments can take as little as five minutes and are administered several times per week over a course of 2-3 weeks for maximum and lasting effect. Inside our clinic it is the most used modalities. Often patient respond quickly with reduced subjective complaints, decreased muscle spasm, and increased ROM of the affected area. When you are experiencing carpal tunnel, neck and low back pain, tendonitis, knee pain or any number of painful conditions, give laser therapy a go to see if it's right for you.
