Low-Level Laser Therapy
Have you heard about Laser Therapy?
Here at Golden Spine Chiropractic, in Downtown Angier, NC, we are proud to announce that we now offer Laser therapy! So you might be wondering, what is Laser Therapy and how can it help you?
Laser Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), photobiomodulation (PBM), or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive chiropractic treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation.
During a laser therapy session, a handheld device emits low-intensity light energy, which is applied directly to the affected area of the body. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, where it enhances cellular metabolism and promotes tissue repair.
This therapy is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains. Laser therapy is believed to accelerate the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting the production of cellular energy.
Overall, laser therapy can be a valuable adjunct to chiropractic care, providing pain relief, accelerating healing, and improving overall function without the need for medication or invasive procedures.
Laser Therapy is an FDA Approved treatment. And while its effectiveness can vary depending on individual factors and the specific condition being treated, cold laser therapy has been used to help manage or alleviate symptoms associated with the following:
Muscle strains and sprains
Tendonitis
Arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
Back pain (including acute and chronic conditions)
Neck pain
Joint pain (such as knee pain, shoulder pain, hip pain)

It's important to note that while cold laser therapy may provide relief for many individuals with these conditions, results can vary from person to person. Additionally, cold laser therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include other chiropractic techniques, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. It's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if cold laser therapy is appropriate for your specific condition and individual needs.
