Tired of living with chronic pain? Dr. Secora Lambert and the team at Lambert Chiropractic And Wellness Center in Lithonia, GA, offer laser therapy and other natural, effective techniques to help.
Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care
When you visit a chiropractor like Dr. Lambert at Lambert Chiropractic And Wellness Center in Lithonia, GA, for pain, you’ll receive comprehensive treatment that includes several techniques. The purpose of combining techniques is to ensure that you achieve optimal relief, as pain is often the result of a combination of issues. For example, a misalignment can lead to herniated discs, muscle tension, painful trigger points, and more.
Combining techniques to address each of these issues is the most effective way to ensure you heal completely. One of the various techniques utilized is laser therapy.
What Is Laser Therapy, and How Does It Work?
This technique allows your chiropractor to send low levels of laser energy into the troubled areas of the body to kickstart a process called photobiomodulation. The tissues in that area absorb the light, which causes a series of events to occur that lead to tissue repair. It’s proven to provide benefits such as the following:
- Releasing painful trigger points
- Releasing muscle tension and spasms
- Reducing inflammation
- Stimulating nerve, bone, and tissue regeneration
- Speeding up recovery
- Increasing blood flow
- Relieving joint pain and increasing range of motion in the joints
- Stimulating the production of endorphins – the body’s natural pain relievers
What Issues Is It Used to Treat?
Therapeutic laser treatments are used to address a wide range of issues. These include but are not limited to:
- Sprains and strains
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Arthritis
- Auto and sports injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Chronic neck and back pain
The Role of Laser Therapy In Your Chiropractic Treatment
Though it is highly effective, therapeutic laser treatments only play one part in your journey to healing. After assessing your condition, your chiropractor will determine the best combination of techniques for your needs.
Typically, you can expect this to include chiropractic adjustments, as restoring alignment to the skeletal system is key to healing and health. It will also likely include therapeutic exercises, other soft tissue techniques, nutritional guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and more. Together, such a combination ensures that both the hard and soft tissues are treated and that any contributing factors to your pain and suffering are addressed.
