Request an AppointmentHow Laser Therapy Supports Natural Healing
Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity. Despite fast treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up to 24 hours after treatment. When light energy passes through your skin and reaches the injured area, it is absorbed and interacts with light-sensitive elements in your cells. This helps normalize damaged or injured tissue, reducing pain, inflammation, edema, and overall healing time. Our laser can penetrate two to five centimeters below the skin, delivering up to 16 watts at 980 nanometers, while our Infrared/LED pads deliver 20 watts per pad at 860 nanometers to further support healing and pain reduction.
Laser treatment can be used on people suffering from acute and chronic conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, failed neck and back surgeries, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and plantar fasciitis, among other conditions we treat regularly at Lifestyle Chiropractic.
Laser therapy is often combined with other treatments at our practice, including chiropractic pain management and physiotherapy, to give patients faster, longer-lasting relief. Dr. David Leidich determines whether laser therapy is right for you based on your specific condition and goals during your consultation.
