As our understanding of pain management and healing techniques continues to evolve, innovative therapies have emerged, like laser therapy. With its non-invasive nature and remarkable healing potential, laser therapy has filled a major supporting role in chiropractic care. Dr. Wolstenholme and MoveWell offer laser therapy in Williston, VT, for decreased pain and inflammation caused by sports injury, arthritis pain, and joint pain.

Understanding Laser Therapy

Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Unlike surgical lasers, LLLT does not generate heat and is painless, making it a safe and effective treatment option. The light energy from the laser penetrates deep into the tissues, targeting damaged cells and promoting cellular regeneration.

Laser Therapy for Reducing Inflammation

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, but a chronic response can lead to persistent pain and tissue damage. Laser therapy has been proven to reduce inflammation by increasing circulation and promoting the release of the body’s natural anti-inflammatory substances. By targeting the affected area with the laser, it encourages the body to accelerate the healing process and decrease inflammation, providing relief for patients suffering from arthritis pain, tendinitis, bursitis, joint pain, or issues caused by a sports injury.

Laser Therapy for Pain Management

Chronic pain can be debilitating, affecting quality of life for many individuals. Laser therapy offers a non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach to pain management. The laser light stimulates the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing immediate relief. Moreover, laser therapy also helps to reduce nerve sensitivity, allowing patients to experience long-term pain reduction. Whether it's back pain, joint pain, arthritis pain, or muscle strain from a sports injury, laser therapy can be an effective solution.

Laser Therapy for Accelerated Tissue Healing

Laser therapy has shown exceptional results in accelerating tissue healing. By stimulating the mitochondria within the cells, it enhances energy production, leading to improved cellular function and increased collagen synthesis. This promotes the formation of new blood vessels and accelerates tissue repair, making it an invaluable treatment for acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, or post-surgical recovery.
