At WildBird Chiropractic & Wellness our Kailua chiropractors can offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as low light laser therapy or cold laser therapy, as part of your treatment.
Our Kailua chiropractors use the Bioflex unit from MediTech international. This state of the art machine consists of various combinations of gallium aluminum arsenide red, infrared and probe lasers to provide maximum healing benefit. The great thing about this type of therapy is that it is non-invasive and painless.
How Does It Work?
The lasers are placed directly on the skin and cause photo-bio-stimulation and stimulate in a non-thermal and non-destructive manner. Lasers increase oxygen consumption at the tissue level and increase localized blood flow necessary to expedite soft tissue injury healing time. Infrared and laser stimulate nerve function and also seem to reduce the pain experience. There is an increased overall RNA and DNA synthesis, and an increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for cellular metabolism. This process aids in tissue repair and reduces inflammation. The specific wavelengths and power used will vary depending on the intended therapeutic effect and the target tissue.
Some of the Benefits:
Pain reduction
Tissue repair and regeneration
Inflammation Reduction
Improved circulation
Overall LLLT can be extremely helpful when treating your musculoskeletal condition and can aid in getting you back to living the life you deserve. Ask our Kailua chiropractors if this therapy is right for you!
