Laser Therapy in Downey, CA
Our chiropractic office near Downey, CA offers cold laser therapy.
If you suffer from chronic musculoskeletal pain, arthritic joints, nagging injuries, neuropathy, or other painful conditions, you need a treatment approach that helps you feel and function better as safely and non-invasively as possible. Chiropractic adjustment offers remarkable benefits on its own, and our team knows how to enhance those benefits even further through complementary techniques. Cold laser therapy could make all the difference in helping you reclaim your quality of life.
Request an AppointmentWhat Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses amplified light delivered in a narrow beam to treat a variety of musculoskeletal ailments. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers penetrate the skin without burning or cutting.
The laser reaches into underlying tissue in need of treatment, triggering increased cellular production of an energy source called ATP. Cells then use this extra energy to rebuild and regenerate themselves. Cold laser therapy also increases circulation in treated tissue, bringing more oxygen and healing nutrients to cells while helping tissue expel unwanted fluids or inflammatory byproducts. The result is a reduction in pain, swelling, and inflammation.
How Cold Laser Works With Chiropractic Care
Our team uses cold laser therapy as a valuable complement to chiropractic care. Many of the same conditions we treat through chiropractic adjustment also respond well to cold laser therapy, including:
- Tendinitis or bursitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Neck or low back pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Nerve damage and chronic neurological symptoms
- Fractures or other acute injuries
- Knee, foot, or other joint pain, including arthritis symptoms
Research has shown that patients with facet joint (spinal) pain who received both chiropractic care and cold laser therapy experienced greater improvement than those who received only one treatment or none at all.
What to Expect During and After Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy doesn’t cause discomfort. The treatment itself usually feels warm and soothing. Each session can relieve more of your symptoms, which is why we typically recommend a series of treatments, and many patients experience significant relief right away.
