Low Light Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment technique used in chiropractic care to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy utilizes low-level lasers to penetrate deep into the body's tissues, promoting healing and pain relief.

LLLT is typically delivered through a handheld device that emits low-level laser beams. The device is placed on the skin over the affected area and moved in a circular motion. The low-level laser beams produced by the device interact with the cells in the body, promoting the production of energy, reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow helps to reduce pain and speed up the healing process.

LLLT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and arthritis. It is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments, such as manual manipulation and exercise therapy.

During a chiropractic LLLT session, the patient will lie comfortably on a treatment table, and a handheld device will be applied to the affected area to deliver the low-level laser beams. The chiropractor will then move the device over the affected area, providing a gentle and painless treatment to the tissues.

LLLT is generally considered safe and painless, although some patients may experience a slight warming sensation during the treatment. The therapy session typically lasts between five and ten minutes, although the length and frequency of treatment will depend on the patient's specific condition and needs.

Chiropractic LLLT is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option that can be an effective component of a comprehensive chiropractic treatment plan. It is often used in combination with other techniques to provide patients with a holistic approach to pain relief and healing. However, as with any medical treatment, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if LLLT is appropriate and safe for your specific condition.
