Are you curious about how laser therapy might help accelerate your recovery post-injury? At Bradford House Chiropractic, we use Erchonia Low-Level Lasers in many of our treatments, including for various soft tissue injuries and sports injuries. So, how does this type of modality work? What should you know?
Below, we examine what makes Erchonia lasers special, how laser therapy works, and how it can benefit you. Let’s dive in!
What is Erchonia?
While many brands produce products for Low-Level Laser therapy (LLLT), Erchonia is a clear leader in this space. And this is why we use Erchonia Lasers at Bradford House Chiropractic & Wellness Centre.
Along with a sleek design, Erchonia lasers have several patented features. These include line-generated beams and the ability to program individual frequencies, making them some of the most advanced lasers on the market.
Erchonia is also the first LLLT brand to receive FDA clearance. They have even been praised by Harvard University for their research quality.
How do Erchonia Low-Level Lasers Work?
While LLLT has numerous purposes, we’ll be focusing on its uses within chiropractic care. Erchonia lasers work by shining electromagnetic waves on a targeted area. This causes “molecular excitement,” which has several effects on the body, including:
- Increased cellular reproduction and growth
- Accelerated collagen synthesis
- Reduced swelling
- Increased blood flow
- Recovery of nerve function
These processes aid in tissue healing and pain relief for many injuries and conditions, meaning Erchonia lasers might help you bounce back faster post-injury. In other good news, treatments are pain-free and usually only last a few minutes.
However, it’s worth noting that LLLT, like Erchonia, is best used alongside other forms of treatment. For instance, at Bradford House, we use Erchonia often in conjunction with other treatments to help you get back to feeling your best. Erchonia may be used with other modalities, such as acupuncture, and a holistic chiropractic treatment plan, which is created based on your initial assessment at our clinic.
What Does Erchonia Laser Therapy Treat?
LLLT, is commonly used to help with both acute and chronic pain. This includes conditions such as:
- Arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
It can also be used to help aid recovery from injuries such as:
- Muscle strain
- Ligament sprains
- Tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
- Bursitis
- Back pain
Are Erchonia Lasers Dangerous?
No, Erchonia laser treatment is considered completely safe for almost everybody. There are no known side effects. With that said, there are some cases where LLLT should not be used.
For example, LLLT should not be used in areas where you have tattoos because the treatment can cause issues with the ink. LLLT may also interfere with some light-sensitive medications. At Bradford House Chiropractic, your chiropractor will assess whether LLLT is right for you.
