Lasers might seem like something out of science fiction, or at the very least, a cutting-edge technology lab. Yet you can enjoy laser treatment as part of chiropractic care. Dr. Sam Aljamal at Back to My Health in Richardson, TX, has ample experience with laser treatment. Let’s take a closer look at laser treatments and why they are becoming so popular.

Why Laser Treatment Fits with Chiropractic

Chiropractors ultimately work to resolve the issues causing your aches or pains. A chiropractor doesn’t want to merely use medication to block out pain signals, for example. Instead, the goal is to identify and address the underlying issues triggering pain signals. Why? If the signals are never triggered, there’s no need to rely on pain medications, which can be expensive and have harmful side-effects.

Why mention all of that? Chiropractors like Dr. Sam Aljamal have long used tools and treatment methods besides adjustments that can help resolve underlying issues and encourage long-lasting healing, which brings us to laser treatment. Lasers can penetrate deep into the body, stimulating various biological processes. This can spur not only pain relief but healing, all while not needing to rely on painkillers and the like.

Some of the Popular Forms of Laser Therapy

First, cold laser treatment has been a popular option for some time now and is a relatively proven technology. That said, we continue to learn about and uncover new applications and benefits.

Cold laser therapy is called that because it doesn’t produce as much heat as the lasers used for surgery. It is also known as low-level laser therapy. Specific wavelengths of light are used to stimulate various biological processes. In the hands of an expert Richardson, TX, chiropractor, cold laser therapy may be able to speed up and improve healing, reduce inflammation, treat soft tissue damage, and more.

Another common and effective type of laser treatment is laser acupuncture. Acupuncture was first invented in ancient China and is still widely practiced today. The thin needles in traditional acupuncture can be inserted into the body to stimulate biological processes. If you’d rather not use needles, you can instead use lasers to achieve similar results.
