Cold Laser Therapy 101
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with soft tissue injuries and is used to help accelerate the healing process. It provides a non-invasive treatment option that targets areas of pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, aiming to improve joint flexibility and reduce sensitivity to pressure.
This method offers a promising solution for managing arthritis pain without the need for surgical procedures or pharmacological agents.
How does it work?
The process involves directing these light wavelengths directly at the affected areas, triggering biological reactions that promote cell repair and diminish symptoms of osteoarthritis such as swelling and pain.
The light from the laser does not heat your body’s tissues, so you feel no discomfort during the procedure.
Our approach combines cold laser therapy with chiropractic care to offer a holistic solution for pain management. By targeting specific areas that are inflamed or in pain, we can provide relief directly where it’s needed most.
A Deep Dive into Arthritis: What it is and Recognizing the Signs
Arthritis is a condition that refers to the inflammation of the joints. It impacts people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities, and it is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, causing pain, stiffness, swelling and decreased mobility.
Common Types of Arthritis and Its Causes
- Osteoarthritis: The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, typically occurs due to the wear and tear of the joints over time. It often affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine. Factors such as aging, joint injury, obesity, and genetics can contribute to the development of osteoarthritis.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. This leads to inflammation, joint damage, and systemic symptoms. The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors may play a role.
- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis refers to a group of chronic arthritic conditions that affect children under the age of 16. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis
- Joint pain
- Joint stiffness
- Swelling
- Decreased range of motion
- Joint deformities
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Lethargy
Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Arthritis Pain
Speeds Up the Healing Process
We use chiropractic cold laser therapy to speed up the healing process for those suffering from arthritis pain. This innovative treatment helps damaged tissues repair faster by stimulating cellular activity.
It encourages cells in the affected area to regenerate, leading to quicker recovery times and getting patients back to their daily activities sooner.
This method of managing arthritis pain not only hastens recovery but also improves joint flexibility and reduces sensitivity to pressure.
Reduces Pain
Cold laser therapy offers significant pain relief for those suffering from arthritis. The light energy used in treatment penetrates deep into the tissue, helping to alleviate both mild and moderate osteoarthritis knee pain, enhancing sensitivity to pressure and joint flexibility.
Our approach with chiropractic cold laser therapy emphasizes a nonpharmacological method to manage arthritis symptoms effectively. By focusing on the source of pain rather than merely masking symptoms with medication, patients experience genuine relief.
Reduces Inflammation
We use chiropractic cold laser therapy to directly tackle inflammation, a key culprit behind the discomfort and pain from arthritis. This method shines by gently targeting inflamed areas, prompting cells to kickstart their healing mechanisms.
By doing so, it dramatically cuts down on swelling and redness in joints, especially those beleaguered by osteoarthritis.
Non-Invasive Treatment Option
Cold laser therapy provides an excellent non-invasive treatment option for managing arthritis pain. This method does not require any surgical incisions, making it a favorable choice for those seeking alternatives to traditional surgery or pharmaceuticals.
Its application directly targets areas of discomfort and inflammation with low levels of light, promoting healing without breaking the skin.
Cold Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care
How They Work Together
Cold laser therapy and chiropractic care create a powerful combination for managing arthritis pain. By integrating cold laser therapy into routine chiropractic sessions, we leverage the strengths of both treatments to provide more effective relief.
Cold laser therapy stimulates cellular repair at the molecular level and reduces inflammation, which complements chiropractic’s focus on improving joint flexibility and overall function.
This synergy enhances the healing process, allowing patients to experience quicker recovery times.
