What Can Laser Therapy Help With?
Laser therapy may be considered as part of a care plan for individuals experiencing:
• Muscle or joint discomfort
• Local inflammation or swelling
• Symptoms related to repetitive strain or overuse
• Tension-related headaches
• General pain or stiffness in the back, neck, or limbs
What to Expect
Sessions typically last 8–15 minutes per area. The number of sessions depends on the nature and severity of the concern. As a general guide:
• Acute concerns: ~5 sessions
• Sub-acute concerns: ~10 sessions
• Chronic concerns: ~20 sessions or more
Laser therapy can be used on its own or combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or rehabilitation exercises as part of a comprehensive care plan.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Therapeutic laser technology works by delivering light energy into the body’s tissues. This energy interacts with cells to support natural biological processes. Research suggests laser therapy may influence cellular pathways involved in:
Accelerating Healing
By activating the Adenosine Triphosphate Pathway
Reducing Inflammation
By activating the Nitric Oxide Pathway
Reducing Pain
By activating the Lipid Absorption Pathway
