What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy, also called cold laser therapy, is a technique in chiropractic care that doesn’t involve manual manipulation or massage. Instead, this noninvasive treatment relies on the energy produced by a laser’s heat. 

Dr. Raychouni applies different wavelengths of low-level light to a targeted area of damaged tissue at the source of your pain during treatment. The tissues in your body naturally absorb the light, which passes through your skin without causing any damage. This initiates the healing process by increasing blood flow and cell regeneration. 

For superficial tissue damage, Dr. Raychouni uses light wavelengths around 600 to 700 nm. Deeper tissues benefit from 780- to 950-nm wavelengths. Despite the range of light intensity used in the therapy, you don’t feel any heat, discomfort, or vibration during treatment. 

Which conditions does laser therapy treat?

MiSpine Chiropractic uses laser therapy for various purposes. After examining you and reviewing your symptoms, Dr. Raychouni locates the source of your pain and can develop an individualized care plan based on your needs. 

Laser therapy has many applications and can treat common conditions and injuries like:

• Muscle strains
• Ligament sprains
• Tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Muscle spasms
• Tennis elbow
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Knee pain

For any of these conditions, you can expect a faster recovery after cold laser therapy with less swelling, which means less discomfort. 

What are the benefits of laser therapy?

Laser therapy is an excellent option for your chiropractic care plan whether or not you receive other treatments too. There are plenty of benefits to consider, which make it a popular option for pain relief in your musculoskeletal system. 

You should consider cold laser therapy on Dr. Raychouni’s recommendation because it:
