Why You Should Consider Laser Therapy for Pain Relief
Chronic pain can end up affecting every aspect of your life. If you are searching for a solution to chronic pain but want to avoid prescription painkillers and surgery, a chiropractor can help. At Caputo Chiropractic Center, our experienced chiropractor Dr. Thomas Caputo can determine what is causing your pain and if you are a good candidate for laser therapy in Suwanee, GA. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of laser therapy for pain relief and why you should consider laser therapy.
Safe Alternative to Prescription Painkillers
Laser therapy is non-invasive and nonsurgical. During treatment, Dr. Caputo will use a small device to direct laser light to injured areas of your body. As the light penetrates your skin, it stimulates a natural process in your body called photobiomodulation. This process reduces pain and encourages healing.
Accelerates Soft Tissue Healing
Laser therapy accelerates soft tissue healing by jump starting the body’s natural healing processes. As your body absorbs and responds to the laser light, it will stimulate the release of healing chemicals and hormones that begin repairing injured soft tissues and nerves.
Relaxes Muscles and Eases Stress and Strain
During laser therapy, your body’s natural response to the laser light will promote relaxation, easing stress and strain on muscles. As your muscles relax, you will notice reduced pain, stiffness, and tension.
Stimulates Nerve Regeneration
Even after just one treatment with Dr. Caputo, laser therapy can stimulate the process of nerve regeneration in the injured area. If you are experiencing pain due to peripheral neuropathy, nerve compression, or nerve injury or irritation, laser therapy can jump start your body’s healing processes.
Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation can affect your range of motion and mobility and increase pain and discomfort. During laser therapy, your body will send more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the treated area. This can ease pain and reduce inflammation.
Improves Range of Motion and Mobility
If your pain is preventing you from standing, working, exercising, or enjoying your hobbies, laser therapy can help. Laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation and promotes blood flow to the injured area, restoring the circulation of nutrients and oxygen needed for healing. As you heal, you will experience less pain, stiffness, and inflammation and notice improved range of motion and mobility.
