Laser therapy is considered low level light therapy, which helps accelerate the tissue healing process. Arthritis is essentially inflammation of the joints in the body. Sometimes patients experience pain in their hands, feet, and knees due to arthritic conditions. The laser is a light therapy that gets under the skin to penetrate deep in the affected joint where inflammation is occurring. The laser stimulates the cells within the area being treated to promote faster healing through a bio-chemical pathway called ATP synthesis. This process helps decrease overall inflammation in the joint and aids in pain modulation. In other words, the nociceptors (pain receptors) are turned down with the use of the laser. Blood circulation is also increased, which means that oxygen-rich blood supply reaches the site of pain. This can also accelerate the tissue healing process. I have used the laser for a variety of conditions over the body. Out of all conditions treated by the laser, I must say that arthritis is the one that has the best outcome over the shortest period of time. If you are suffering from an arthritic condition or have general pain throughout your joints, please give us a call at High Caliber Chiropractic so we can help you start feeling and functioning better.
