Hello Laser

Low-level laser therapy (Class II) is an exceptional treatment option available to our patients at Quantum Chiropractic.

This therapy effectively alleviates both acute and chronic pain through several mechanisms, including:

• Decreasing inflammation

• Lowering the production of free radicals and oxidative stressors that hinder the healing process

• Enhancing blood flow and circulation to promote healing in affected areas

• Accelerating tissue repair and recovery time

• Boosting cellular energy production by improving mitochondrial function, which in turn increases ATP production

• Chronic neck and shoulder pain (2002)

• Post-surgical pain

• Acne vulgaris, a common inflammatory skin condition

• Chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis

• Chronic low back pain

• General musculoskeletal pain.

Dispelling Myths About Lasers and Misconceptions

For those skeptical of this form of therapy, it's important to understand some foundational concepts. The human body relies on electrical signals for the proper functioning of the brain, muscles, nerves, lungs, heart, and other systems.

Low-level lasers are particularly effective in delivering electrons through the skin compared to Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This effectiveness is contingent on maintaining low milliamp levels; higher levels can generate excessive heat, as seen in LED Red Light therapy, which can harm cellular structures. Low-level lasers, on the other hand, facilitate the movement of electrons through the skin, promoting tissue stability and reducing oxidative stress in challenging cellular environments.

By normalizing the cellular environment through reduced inflammation and enhanced mitochondrial function, we can significantly improve tissue efficiency. For example, if damaged pancreatic tissue is treated with laser therapy, it may enhance insulin production. Similarly, reducing inflammation in the sciatic nerve can alleviate pain associated with sciatica. This illustrates how Laser Therapy can contribute to overall health and wellness.

When combined with chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and functional medicine approaches, the potential for addressing chronic health issues becomes not just a possibility, but a reality.
