RxWellness Spine & Health Offers Cold Laser Therapy in Herndon

Even though they're more than half a century old, lasers are commonly thought of as something out of science fiction. At the very least, they can be said to represent the state of the art for many applications, including medicine. But if you always assumed that medical lasers were only for used for surgery, you'll be fascinated to know about another form of laser treatment that can relieve pain and speed healing in soft tissues. This remarkable techniques is called cold laser therapy -- and our chiropractor at RxWellness Spine & Health, Dr. Phil Golinsky, is proud to offer cold laser therapy in Herndon.

Treatments Offered at Your Herndon Chiropractor

Don't let the term "cold" puzzle you. This type of treatment is also known as low-level laser therapy to differentiate it from the higher energy level of a surgical laser. While the surgical laser cuts and cauterizes incisions, a cold (non-thermal) laser beam passes right through the skin surface without leaving a mark or causing even the slightest discomfort. The beam can enter tissues at a depth of up to 5 centimeters, allowing it to interact with fairly deep tissues. The beam then proceeds to convey some amazing benefits, including:

Accelerated healing - Our chiropractor in Herndon often prescribes cold laser therapy to help injured soft tissues heal. The laser energy causes cells to produce more ATP, a substance critical for cellular repair. The extra ATP leads to more efficient re-growth of tissues and faster recovery from accident injuries or surgical wounds. Even bone and nerve tissues can repair themselves more effectively with the aid of cold laser therapy.

Pain/inflammation relief - Cold laser therapy offers a drug-free means of reducing pain and inflammation. The energy enhances blood flow in the treatment site; this helps healing nutrients reach the site more efficiently while also enabling tissues to rid themselves of pain-causing inflammatory substances. The boost in circulation also helps reduce swelling. If you suffer from chronic muscle tightness that contributes to your discomfort, our Herndon chiropractor can use cold laser therapy to help those muscles loosen up, easing pain.

These benefits make cold laser therapy a great complement to chiropractic adjustment and other natural therapeutic techniques. Our Herndon chiropractor may include it in the treatment of:

• Sports or workplace injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Chronic pain syndromes
• Osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases
• Wound healing
• Nerve or bone regeneration
