At Absolute Chiropractic & Rehab, our chiropractors have extensive experience evaluating, diagnosing, and treating knee pain. We will determine the underlying cause of your knee pain and find safe, all-natural solutions. One of the most effective non-surgical treatment options for knee pain is cold last therapy. Here is a look at why you should consider treating your knee pain with cold laser therapy in Hurst, TX.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is also called low-level laser therapy because it uses very low levels of laser light to treat chronic knee pain. We use a small, handheld device to direct laser light to the injured areas of your knee. Laser therapy is non-surgical, non-invasive, and does not cause any complications or require any downtime or recovery time. Most people do not experience any pain or discomfort during treatment and notice almost immediate relief of knee pain.
Common Causes of Knee Pain in Adults
Our goal is to address the underlying cause of your knee pain, rather than just temporarily masking it with prescription painkillers. We will use diagnostic testing to determine why you are experiencing knee pain. Cold laser therapy is effective for the following causes of knee pain:
- Arthritis
- Joint damage
- Age-related joint degeneration
- Repetitive stress and overuse injuries
- Tendonitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Bursitis
- Gout
- Ligament strains and tears
How Cold Laser Therapy Relieves Knee Pain
As laser light penetrates your soft tissues, it triggers a reaction called photobiomodulation. Your body will release chemicals, hormones, and nutrients that jumpstart the healing process. Your body will begin repairing damaged tissues, cells, and nerves and will improve blood flow to the injured area, which relieves inflammation and stiffness. The release of endorphins will reduce pain. Laser therapy can also break apart calcification and scar tissue to improve range of motion and flexibility. After 3-5 treatment sessions, you should notice significant improvement in pain and range of motion.
