If you’re suffering with ongoing pain, or distracted by nagging aches, or you’ve just suffered an injury, you might be wondering whether chiropractic care can help you.  You may have heard that we offer laser therapy, but you might not know much about it, or who benefits from it.

Do any of the following conditions apply to you?

• plantar fasciitis
• rotator cuff injury
• rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
• sports injuries
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• ligament and tendon tears
• calcifications and bone spurs
• bulging and herniated discs
• chondromalacia patella
• bursitis and tendonitis
• facet joint syndrome

This is a list of conditions which respond extremely well to laser treatment.

If any of them apply to you, then laser therapy is a promising treatment option for you.

Don’t be afraid of “getting it wrong”

You’ll talk with Dr. Sheppard before your treatment begins.  If your condition is such that another treatment modality would be a better course of action for you, we will advise you.  Some conditions benefit from traditional chiropractic care supported by sessions with the laser.

Next week we’ll talk in more detail about how laser therapy works, but for now, we want prospective patients to know that laser therapy is painless and safe.  You will probably feel a sensation of warmth as the laser beams light into your cells, stimulating them to work harder and faster at healing.  Since the laser doesn’t cut anything, there’s no blood, no pain and none of the risks associated with surgery or other invasive treatments.  In summary, laser therapy is natural and drug-free.
