Laser Therapy for Decreased Inflammation and Pain Management
Joint pain from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome can make it hard to work, exercise, play sports, or enjoy your hobbies. If you want a nonsurgical, drug-free treatment option for joint or muscle pain, you should consider laser therapy. Laser therapy is a minimally invasive, low-risk treatment option that relieves pain and inflammation and promotes healing of injured tissues and muscles. At West Broward Wellness Center, we may recommend cold laser therapy in Tamarac, FL to treat sports injuries, work injuries, joint pain, and muscle pain.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, nonsurgical, drug-free treatment option for chronic or acute pain and inflammation. This treatment uses low-level laser light to stimulate healing and relieve pain.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Relieve Joint and Muscle Pain?
The light travels through your tissues at the targeted treatment area and stimulates a natural biological process in the body that promotes tissue and cell regeneration and healing. As your body absorbs the laser light, the body promotes healing at the site of any damaged cells or tissues.
Who Should Consider Laser Therapy?
You should consider laser therapy if you have chronic pain that has not responded to other treatment options, or if you want an alternative to prescription medication, surgery, or more invasive treatments. We may recommend laser therapy to treat:
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain
- Repetitive stress or overuse injuries
- Work, auto, and sports injuries
- Ligament and muscle sprains and strains
- Arthritis
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Upper or lower back pain
- Knee pain
- Muscle spasms or cramps
- Inflammation or swelling
What Happens During and After Laser Therapy?
During laser therapy, our chiropractor will use a small, handheld device to transmit laser light to your skin. You will feel the device touching your skin and you might feel slight pressure, but you will not feel any pain or discomfort. The treatment only takes a few minutes for each treatment area, and there is no downtime or recovery time. You should be able to return to your regular routine immediately after treatment.
