The Benefits of Cold Laser Treatment From a Chiropractor
Chiropractors offer cold laser treatment to help patients relieve pain, reduce inflammation and regain range of motion. This therapy is a versatile and customizable treatment that can be used alone or with other chiropractic interventions. If you are struggling to find pain relief, consider cold laser treatment. This article takes a closer look at this therapy and its benefits.
What is cold laser therapy?
Also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), cold laser treatment delivers light energy to the treatment area. Unlike hot lasers, cold lasers do not heat the skin. During a treatment, the practitioner places the cold laser device on or above the skin covering the treatment area. The photons from the laser penetrate the skin to reach the target area, where they are thought to initiate chemical changes that stimulate cell and tissue regeneration. The goal is to increase blood flow and reduce the pain and inflammation that result from various conditions.
Benefits of cold laser treatment
Cold laser treatments can be delivered alone or with other chiropractic treatments to promote healing, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery. This treatment is highly versatile and easily customized to a patient's needs. An added bonus is that this therapy typically involves no downtime. Patients can return to work or their regular activities immediately after treatment.
There are several key benefits to this therapy. What is perhaps most exciting about this therapy is that, unlike other treatments that only seek to relieve symptoms, cold laser therapy aims to heal the body by stimulating its own regenerative potential. In addition, cold laser therapy may offer a way for patients to reduce or avoid dependence on prescription drugs. Also, this therapy may even be an option for patients who have tried other methods that have failed and wish to avoid surgery.
Conditions chiropractors treat
Patients with a wide range of injuries and conditions may find relief with the help of cold laser therapy. Our team has applied cold laser treatments alone and in combination with other therapies to treat:
- Sports Injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Bursitis or tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Neck and back pain
Many patients report faster healing, improved range of motion, reduced pain and discomfort, and decreased swelling after completing treatment.
The treatment process
Treatment starts with a consultation. The patient meets with the practitioner, who will get a complete health history of the patient and do an exam. The practitioner may also order X-rays of the treatment area. Then, the chiropractor will ask the patient detailed questions about their symptoms and what they hope to gain from treatment.
If our team decides the patient is a good candidate for treatment, they will design a customized treatment plan. Though some patients feel better after just one treatment, it usually takes several treatments over 3 to 9 months to get the most benefit. The number of treatments each patient needs depends on their circumstances, the condition or injury, general health and lifestyle, and other treatments being performed in combination with cold laser treatments.
