September 6, 2018

Why Is LLLT Different?

Laser therapy is a medical breakthrough therapeutic device with unparalleled applications and treatment outcomes. It works fast, is drug-free, all-natural, and promotes proper healing AND pain reduction. It is virtually no side effects or risks, and it is quick and convenient. Pain relief is often immediate. And while treatment, you will most likely feel a soothing warmth. There is no pain associated during laser application. Laser treatment is relaxing and some people even fall asleep.

How Is the Laser Treatment done?

The laser is placed over or in contact with the skin, allowing healing energy to penetrate the tissue. You will sit on the treatment table or lie in a relaxed position. Some benefits include: stimulating immune system response, improving lymphatic drainage, reducing pain, reducing swelling (edema), increasing growth hormone production, and enhancing the body's natural healing process.

A typical course of treatment is 10 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Acute conditions can be treated daily, especially if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic diseases respond better when treated 2 to 3 times a week. The treatment plan is determined according to individual circumstances. For some acute conditions, 2 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. More chronic conditions may require 6-10 sessions. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain. LLLT is even more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including chiropractic, soft tissue mobilization, passive exercises, and proper nutrition.

What can the Benefits of Laser Therapy Bring to Chiropractors?

Save time and energy to do more things. The chiropractor spends a lot of time and energy every day to massage and stands up for the patient, which leaves the chiropractor with less time to develop a treatment plan for the patient and self-energy supplement. The laser therapy device can help the chiropractor save time to do more without violating the original intention of the chiropractor. LLLT can stimulate a variety of cell types, such as nerves, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, etc. And all of these are exactly a chiropractor need to handle. LLLT is not only for the treatment of various diseases, but also for the rapid relief of pain, such as Lower back pain and/or leg pain (sciatica), Neck pain, Repetitive strains, Headaches, Sports injuries, Car Accident injuries, and Arthritic pain

Many healthcare professionals are using LLLT devices, and laser treatment is nationally recognized. Laser instruments make it easy for you to make more money! When the goal of chiropractic treatment is not achieved, you don't need to refer patients to medical doctors or other health practitioners for treatment of lower back pain. Because laser instruments are specialized in treating back pain, spinal pain, and other issues. You can use your laser instrument to treat your patients. It saves time and can receive unexpected results. You don't have to worry about operation problems at all, because the laser instruments are easy to operate and do not require special training. Combine your own understanding of the acupuncture points of the human body, and use this advantage to illuminate the acupuncture points of the patients, and the effect is better.

LLLT provides you with a good service for your patients and earns more. Most of the patients can't tolerate the manual adjustments, they may instead receive mild or non-force techniques. They seek simple relief of pain or discomfort, while others want to begin a regimen of ongoing care meant to improve their general health. LLLT device can meet their all requires. People who have received the LLLT said that it is very comfortable and relax during the treatment and there is nothing displeasing feeling. They enjoy the treatment process. The patients who use laser therapy have a faster recovery time because this treatment increased circulation of blood in order to improve vascular activity so as to accelerate cell reproduction and growth.

Stroke is another rare, but serious, complication that can happen after neck manipulation. In order to retain your guests and increase your reputation, you are responsible for ensuring absolute safety and zero risks during treatment without any errors or side effects.

Help you to do better than other chiropractors is LLLT final goal. You seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients. Nothing can match the laser instrument to shorten the healing time and effectively relieve the pain when the chiropractor provides a treatment that relies on the body's inherent recuperative abilities. The wavelengths of laser have the ability to penetrate the skin, and soft/hard tissues and are proven in clinical trials to have a good effect on pain, inflammation and tissue repair. The power density (irradiance) is usually between 5W/cm2 and is applied to an injury or to a painful site for 30–60 seconds a few times a week for several weeks. The result is a reduction of inflammation, pain relief, and accelerated tissue regeneration.
