What Are The Benefits of Laser Therapy?

December 16, 2021

As a band-aid solution, some medications and creams offer immediate relief against pains and aches but fail to fix the root issue. They might leave you feeling great for a few hours or even a couple of days, but the pain always seems to show up again. Not all treatments offer a lasting solution that many desperately hope for if we face the facts. 

Fortunately, some treatments do provide long-lasting results! For example, you may have heard of Laser Therapy or even experienced it. This treatment has become a true lifesaver to many in recent years.

So, what is Laser Therapy? Who can undergo Laser Therapy treatments? What are the benefits? What are the side effects (Spoiler alert: There are none!)? Let’s find out!

What is Aspen Laser Therapy?

Lasers have been used in the medical field for decades, and with good reason! In a chiropractic setting, Laser Therapy is a pain-free treatment that transports light energy in photons to damaged cells located in any part of the body. Photons help transform the once damaged cells into healthy cells. 

Summed up, Laser Therapy encourages the body’s healing process. 

Treatment sessions are shockingly fast, lasting between 5-10 minutes. A patient might feel a warm and calming sensation during a session or possibly feel nothing at all.

We love to incorporate Aspen Laser Therapy to help patients since it does not require additional drugs or surgery to work at its best. It’s possible to see relief right away, but, on average, it takes between just 5-10 treatment sessions to experience actual, lasting results!

What Are the Benefits of Laser Therapy?

In addition to it being completely pain-free, Aspen Laser Therapy offers a long list of benefits that many of our patients have already experienced. 

Some benefits to Laser Therapy include :

  • Reduced pain & inflammation
  • Reduced muscle tightness 
  • Increased range of motion
  • Cell growth promotion
  • Acute injuries treated & healing promotion
  • Zero side effects

When used in conjunction with other treatments and therapy, Laser Therapy can help even severe conditions such as tendonitis and arthritis. Unfortunately, many have suffered from these conditions for years and accept that the only way their condition can be treated is with the help of injections and surgery.  

Thankfully, these individuals can find relief in a much less invasive way through Laser Therapy.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a laser therapy session take?
A typical laser therapy session lasts only about 5 to 10 minutes. During treatment, patients may notice a warm, calming sensation or feel nothing at all, since the therapy is generally described as pain free. Most people need a series of sessions, often around 5 to 10 total, before noticing lasting results, though some relief may be felt sooner. Always follow your provider's recommended treatment schedule for best outcomes.
Are there side effects from laser therapy treatments?
Laser therapy is generally considered to have no known side effects when performed appropriately, and it does not require drugs or surgery. That said, no treatment works identically for every person, so individual responses can vary. If you experience unusual symptoms after a session, mention them to your provider. Seek emergency care right away for symptoms such as sudden severe pain, numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or signs of infection.
Can laser therapy help with tendonitis or arthritis pain?
Laser therapy may help support relief for conditions like tendonitis and arthritis when used alongside other treatments and therapies, according to the post. It is described as encouraging the body's natural healing process by promoting cell growth and reducing inflammation and muscle tightness. It is not presented as a standalone cure, so a full evaluation is recommended. Seek emergency care for sudden joint swelling with fever or inability to bear weight.
What conditions might Aspen Laser Therapy treat besides chronic pain?
Aspen Laser Therapy, offered at Spine Health & Wellness locations across North Texas, may help with acute injuries, reduced range of motion, and muscle tightness, in addition to chronic pain concerns. The treatment is described as working by delivering light energy to damaged cells to support the body's healing response. It is not a guaranteed fix for every condition, so a provider evaluation helps determine if it is appropriate for your situation.
