What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of laser light to stimulate metabolic processes at the cellular level. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with molecules (chromophores) that cause different biological effects resulting in reduced pain, decreased inflammation, and increased healing.

Photon energy must be able to effectively penetrate the skin and underlying structures to accelerate the healing process. Dr. Jill Chiropractic utilizes the most powerful High-Intensity Class IV therapy laser available. This laser can penetrate deep tissues and provide significantly higher dosage levels, a key for positive clinical outcomes.

Testimonial

“I have been under Dr. Jill’s chiropractic care for a number of years. I recently suffered from chronic night-time shoulder pain. Exercise and stretching did not seem to help. Dr Jill suggested I try laser therapy. After 6 treatments, I was seeing an improvement in pain relief and proceeded to a total of 10 treatments. The severe discomfort I was having a night-time significantly decreased to the point that it is no longer an issue. I have remained basically pain-free for weeks! Dr Jill continues to investigate new treatment resources and provide those she feels beneficial to her patients.
Thank you, Dr. Jill!”
