Cold Laser Therapy in Livonia

Our chiropractors use cold laser therapy in Livonia to effectively treat a variety of conditions and injuries. Cold laser therapy works by promoting a chemical reaction called photobiostimulation. During this process, a laser is placed over an injured part of the body and emits non-thermal photons of light, which pass through the layers of skin. During photobiostimulation, endorphins get released, which help to promote healing, alleviate pain, and increase blood circulation.

Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Because of the many benefits this type of FDA-approved therapy provides, our chiropractor often recommends cold laser therapy to treat chronic pain, promote healing, and treat the conditions listed above.

This specialized type of laser therapy is completely noninvasive and pain-free. When dealing with pain or certain conditions, health care professionals will recommend over-the-counter medications or prescriptions drugs. Oftentimes, however, there are negative side effects associated with these medications.

If you are looking for an all-natural form of treatment with no negative side effects, our chiropractor recommends giving cold laser therapy a try. While it may take a series of sessions to treat your condition or injury, each session usually only takes less than 20 minutes. Laser therapy helps to speed up and strengthen the healing process, which means it usually has a permanent effect.

Is Cold Laser Therapy Different From Chiropractic Care?

Many patients ask if cold laser therapy is different than chiropractic care. Traditional chiropractic care involves spinal manipulations to help treat certain conditions of the muskulotelatal system. Over the years, chiropractors have discovered other types of alternative treatments that are completely safe and effective for their patients.

Cold laser therapy is just one of the many types of treatments we use at Correct Care Family Chiropractic. While light therapies use a slightly different approach when treating pain, injuries, and certain conditions, our chiropractor in Livonia uses it because it is safe, effective, and there are no negative side effects. Besides that, we are invested in treating the whole person, which is why we use different types of therapies as part of our comprehensive and holistic plan.
