During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
During Laser Therapy, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated. The cascade of beneficial effects that follows includes increased cellular function and tissue repair.
You can expect your initial session to be around 30-40 minutes, as our Chiropractor will go through a thorough history and assessment to ensure you are a good candidate for Laser Therapy. Subsequent visits will be approximately 10 minutes. We use a top of the line Class IV medical grade laser that delivers powerful therapy in less time.
