Laser Therapy

Helping you live happier, healthier lives is at the heart of what we do. And while focused chiropractic adjustments work to bring about exactly that, sometimes, additional support is required to really help you live the life you love.

Our team is proud to offer patients gentle, effective laser therapy to help combat chronic pain and inflammation in the body. Best of all, this modality doesn’t require any surgery, and may even help you kick pain pills to the curb.

How it Helps

We’re proud to be the only chiropractor in the area with the Horizon Laser system by Summus Medical. This highly-advanced machine works by accelerating tissue regeneration in your problem areas using the specific placement of light waves.

This treatment helps to improve circulation, which brings necessary nutrients, water, and oxygen to your damaged area in order to create a perfect environment for healing that can reduce inflammation, muscle spasm, pain and even swelling.

Best of all, this therapy is proven to help your symptoms, and is cleared by the FDA.

Who Can Benefit from Laser Therapy?

We’re happy to let you know that this type of care is safe for patients of all ages. We welcome children who may have experienced trauma or athletic injury, adults who are dealing with the effects of an auto accident, and seniors with troubling hips among so many more.

You may find relief if you’re dealing with any of the following:

  • TMJ pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Post-surgery recovery
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Knee pain
  • Sciatica
  • Neuropathy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Diabetes

  • Loss of flexibility

  • Work-related injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Sprains and strains
  • And so much more

RESULTS MAY EVEN BE SEEN AFTER 1 TREATMENT

Many patients report pain relief in as little as one treatment, and most are able to resume normal daily activities with no pain and restricted movement after their therapy is completed.

Treatments are administered by a technician, using a hand-held device the size of a flashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for anywhere from 30 seconds to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the treatment plan.

Most patients report a warm, relaxing sensation. They generally experience no side effects or recovery period.

THE GOAL IS HEALING, NOT MERELY SYMPTOM RELIEF

For too long, medicine has focused on symptom relief rather than true healing. Laser therapy offers an alternative, and it’s a welcome change for athletes as well as patients interested in natural remedies.

More than 1200 studies conducted over 40 years worldwide have shown the powerful therapeutic benefits of high power laser therapy. Findings include:

  • Acute Pain: diminished more than 70%, chronic pain more than 60%
  • Chronic Low Back Pain: treatment effective in 71% of cases; pain eliminated completely in 45%
  • Wounds: 55% greater healing on day 8, as compared to the placebo group
  • Knee Injury: improved knee flexion and pressure sensitivity after every treatment
