Try Cold Laser Therapy for Sports Injuries
Coming back from sports injuries can be a frustrating, deflating experience, but it’s so much better when you have help along the way. Shields Chiropractic offers a wide range of chiropractic rehabilitative therapies that help reduce healing time so you can start feeling better faster. Cold laser therapy is a service we recommend in particular if you want pain-free, non-invasive recovery.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a unique rehabilitative therapy in that it works at the cellular level. As part of the first phase of chiropractic care, we apply a low-level laser to the affected areas so that the body can absorb the light. The cells respond accordingly, stimulating a reaction that can lower inflammation, relieve pain, and reduce healing time.
Cold laser is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and widely recommended for a number of conditions. It’s been shown to be particularly effective against sports injuries, including sprains, strains, and nagging conditions like tennis elbow and bursitis. Because it acts similar to a cold compress, it’s also a great way to relieve inflammation caused by conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
On top of its many proven benefits, cold laser therapy is convenient and non-invasive. The process is as simple as applying a low-light laser to your skin and letting it work its magic. Patients report that it helps reduce healing time and get them feeling better faster, which is quite helpful when you’re eager to get back into the gym or onto the soccer field.
Maximizing the Effects of Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy may be enough on its own to get relief from pain and reduce healing time with sports injuries. But because this form of therapy is so unique, it may work even better in conjunction with other forms of rehabilitative treatment you can get at Shields Chiropractic in Saginaw, MI.
Manual treatment is a go-to for recovering from injuries and reducing pain. Your therapist will diagnose the source of your pain and act accordingly, freeing you up to do the things you love more quickly. Because you’re getting personalized, one-on-one care, your rehabilitative specialist can even recommend corrective exercises to perform at home so you can minimize pain and even improve your posture.
Whatever is troubling you, our team will recommend the methods that work best for you. From cold laser therapy to Standard Process supplements to diet and nutritional counseling, we’ll put you on the proper path to feeling better and being active once again.
