How Does It Complement Chiropractic Care?

Laser therapy complements traditional chiropractic adjustments by providing an additional way to relieve pain and promote tissue healing. While chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring spinal alignment, LLLT targets soft tissue injuries, reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair.

Combining chiropractic adjustments with laser therapy can enhance pain relief, allow patients to recover quicker from injuries, improve range of motion, and improve treatment outcomes. Laser therapy can help address soft tissue issues that may not be fully resolved with adjustments alone.
