Along with your chiropractic care, Dr. Pagenkopf may recommend laser therapy, which works hand in hand with chiropractic care and is available on-site at our clinic.
Who Laser Therapy Is Right For
There are few people that can’t have laser therapy. It’s particularly powerful for chronic cases that don’t respond to other methods. If you’re under chiropractic care but we aren’t getting the results we hoped for, laser can accelerate your progress. It’s ideal for extremity pain and areas such as the shoulder or knee.
What Laser Therapy Does For You
We use low level (or “cold”) laser therapy. Very specific wavelengths of infrared and red light are used that actually accelerate tissue repair and healing while decreasing your pain and inflammation. Because it is “super pulsed,” the laser does not damage tissue, or cause any heat accumulation (hence “cold” laser). We find that it gets fantastic results for people in pain!
FAQ
How will you know if laser therapy is right for me?
The only way to know whether you’re a good candidate for laser therapy is to have a full examination. We’ll discuss your concerns, then perform an evaluation of your condition. If we think that you can benefit from laser therapy, we’ll inform you immediately and discuss our recommendations.
What will I feel during a laser therapy session?
The laser is just a light. You can think of it as if we borrowed some wavelengths from the sun. There is no sensation while the laser is applied. The deep tissues of the body, however, will respond to it.
One of the best parts about having laser therapy is you don’t have to worry about damage. It’s not like other lasers, where even a quick look at it can be harmful. It won’t hurt you or burn you.
No. This laser is a different wavelength than those that can be harmful to your eyes. You will, however, wear protective goggles during your laser session. When it comes to your health, we want to always err on the side of caution.
Does it hurt to have laser therapy?
No. It is a painless procedure that is extremely gentle on your body. You won’t have to worry about any discomfort during or after laser therapy.
