SO HOW EXACTLY DOES Laser Therapy Work?

Pain management is a field where many practitioners get frustrated. In our clinic we see it on a regular basis as most of the more difficult cases can be found in after they have observed everybody else and a chiropractor is their last resort. Chronic pain doesn't always mean that we must do more, sometimes what seems like an extremely little treatment can produce marvelous results.

Take laser therapy for instance; this can be a popular treatment now from from foot fungus to weight loss. Now personally  https://lightforcemedical.com/laser-therapy/  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 study and from my own clinical experience that it is an effective therapy for pain management in conjunction with a few of the more traditional methods like physical therapy, chiropractic, acute injury and chronic injury management protocols and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization.

Lasers for used in pain therapy are needs to gain recognition in this country. The FDA cleared Low Level Laser Therapy for used in pain, inflammation, and wound healing in 2002; however, the benefits of LLLT have been recognized and successfully used overseas for many years. Studies have shown LLLT to lessen neck and back pain by around 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 must take place in the area being treated. This signal travels throughout the blood stream, connective tissues, and nervous system to significantly speed up the body's response and healing time. Interestingly, researchers have also found that LLLT boosts healing through the entire body, not just in your community being treated.

Many will be surprised to discover that more isn't better when it comes to LLLT; the effective dose is quite small. Typical treatments may take as little as five minutes and are administered several times per week over a course of two to three weeks for maximum and lasting effect. In our clinic it is one of 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 suffering from carpal tunnel, neck and low back pain, tendonitis, knee pain or any number of painful conditions, give laser therapy a try to see if it's right for you.
