Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is state-of-the-art technology which uses infared light to provide energy to the body for healing purposes. The body’s tissues absorb this laser light on a cellular level and transform the light energy into chemical energy which the body then uses to start or enhance its own tissue repair. The biostimulating effect of laser therapy causes a decrease in inflammation and pain, and an increase in tissue regeneration and healing. Laser therapy is a safe, painless and effective treatment for many neural musculo-skeletal conditions and is supported by over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide. The LILT we use is pulsed at a high rate which makes it a cold laser. This means it cannot burn or cut your tissues and can even be used directly over metal or plastic implants unlike other modalities such as ultrasound.

LILT provides advanced healing power in treating a wide variety of conditions including: tennis / golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff strains and tears, knee pain, achilles tendonitis, low back pain, hip or shoulder bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, whiplash, migraines, arthritic joint pain, diabetic ulcer/wound healing, nerve injuries, sciatica and herniated disc pain. Ask your health practitioner at Total Body Chiropractic if laser therapy is appropriate for you as an adjunct to your chiropractic care or as a stand alone treatment.
