In deep-tissue laser therapy, high-intensity light is used to heal muscle and connective tissue injuries. At [PRACTICE NAME], our Deep Tissue Laser Therapy can produce superior results for certain injuries by penetrating the tissues effectively and delivering proteins and other molecules or nutrients directly into the injury site.
What Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, And How Does It Work?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, painless procedure that works to treat injuries and chronic conditions. The laser is applied to the injured area to promote healing and relieve pain.
At our center, a chiropractor or licensed therapist performs the treatment. It can be used on any body part, although it is most commonly used for chronic areas such as back pain, hip pain, and knee pain. Deep tissue laser therapy has also been used successfully to treat tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and bursitis.
The laser beam is directly applied to the skin or onto an object, such as a bandage that covers the affected area through an array of medical devices called low-level lasers. The intense light penetrates deep into the skin, heating it so it can stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. This process aids in recovery from injuries by increasing blood flow to the affected area and reducing swelling and pain.
What Type Of Patient Typically Receives Deep Tissue Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is one of the newest methods to enter the alternative medicine world and has quickly grown in popularity. This is due to its positive results in many fields and industries, not just in pain management. Laser therapy can be used for different types of patients, including:
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For Athletes
Laser therapy can effectively treat athletes who suffer from sports-related injuries. Athletes often experience sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries during competitions or workouts. Chronic pain caused by these injuries can interfere with training and practice sessions. Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with these injuries, allowing athletes to return to their activities sooner than expected.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For Office Workers
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is also an excellent treatment for office workers who spend hours sitting at their desks daily. Sitting at a computer for prolonged periods increases stress on the spine and reduces activity in certain muscles. As a result, these muscles become weak and cause back pain.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy can help alleviate this problem by stimulating the nerve endings in your back muscles, so they contract more forcefully when you stand up from your desk chair. This prevents them from being overstretched while sitting down all day long.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For Seniors
Seniors risk developing osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis due to aging joints or past injuries that have not healed properly. When these conditions occur in the hips, knees, or shoulders, they can cause severe pain, making it difficult for seniors to perform daily tasks like walking or unloading groceries from the car.
As you age, your body’s ability to heal becomes less effective. This can lead to chronic pain, discomfort, and severe health problems. Deep tissue laser therapy helps stimulate the healing process by increasing blood flow to injured areas and reducing inflammation caused by injury or disease.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For People Injured At Work
If you have been injured on the job and seek medical attention, your doctor may recommend deep tissue laser therapy before sending you off with painkillers or surgery. By stimulating rapid healing in the damaged area, this technique can help get you back on your feet quickly so that you can continue working while recovering from your injury.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For Auto Accident Injury Victims
Auto accidents can cause significant damage to the body by tearing muscles, ligaments, and tendons. When these injuries are not treated properly, they can lead to chronic pain, muscle weakness, and stiffness. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy can be used to treat these types of injuries by heating the damaged tissue so it can heal properly.
Common Conditions Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Can Treat
Deep tissue laser is used to treat various injuries and conditions. Conditions commonly treated by the therapy include:
Muscle Strains And Sprains
Muscle strains happen when you overstretch your muscle, causing it to tear. This is known as a strain-sprain injury. The most common type of muscle strain is a hamstring strain. It happens when you overstretch your hamstring muscle while sprinting or kicking. A muscle sprain occurs when you tear the ligament that connects two bones. Sprains are common in the ankle, wrist, and knee.
Muscle Spasms
A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles that lasts for more than three seconds. Involuntary muscles include blood vessels and other organs such as your heart and intestines; involuntary muscle spasms are very common in people with diabetes or Parkinson’s disease because these conditions affect the nerves that control involuntary muscles.
Knee pain
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy can treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, torn cartilage, and other injuries. In addition to reducing swelling, laser therapy stimulates collagen production and helps the body repair damaged tissue. It also increases blood flow to the area to aid in healing.
Low back pain
Low back pain is another common condition that laser therapy can help reduce associated symptoms. Stress on the spinal joints is brought by bad posture, or improper lifting of large objects is a common cause of low back pain. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy stimulates blood flow in areas where significant inflammation exists, improving healing time for low back pain sufferers.
The Benefits Of Using Laser Therapy In Addition To Chiropractic Care
The benefits of using Deep Tissue Laser Therapy and chiropractic care are numerous. Here are some of them.
It Can Reduce Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a complex condition resulting from an injury or poor body positioning over time. Chronic pain can be caused by many things, including muscle tension and scar tissue build-up in soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons. Laser therapy can penetrate deep into these tissues where other treatments typically cannot reach and be effective at reducing chronic pain when used in conjunction with other treatment modalities such as chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy.
Faster Healing Can Occur By Boosting The Immune System
The biggest benefit of using laser therapy for back pain is that it can help boost your body’s immune system. This means that your body is better able to fight off infections and diseases, and it will heal faster from injuries or other physical issues. If you have back or neck pain, it may take longer for your body to heal after an accident or injury because there is more damage done than just physical tissue damage. Using a laser during chiropractic treatments can help speed up the healing process.
Flexibility And Range Of Motion Can Be Greatly Increased
One of the biggest reasons people seek chiropractic care is because they want more body flexibility. By receiving regular adjustments from a chiropractor and laser therapy during appointments, patients can expect to see improvements in their flexibility over time. This can help them perform better at work and stay active in their daily lives without feeling like they need to take frequent breaks from activity due to sore muscles or joints.
Local Circulation Can Be Increased Resulting In Better Blood Flow
Laser therapy increases circulation in the treated area. It boosts blood flow and reduces inflammation, which helps to relax muscles and tendons. In addition, it also helps to promote healing by increasing oxygen levels in tissues.
Deep tissue laser therapy is one of the most popular, efficient, and non-invasive kinds of treatment for efficiently treating chronic pain.
