As arthritis symptoms progress, you might find it harder and harder to exercise, work, and take part in hobbies and activities you enjoy. Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health can evaluate your symptoms and find a non-invasive, drug-free pain management and treatment option that works for your lifestyle. Chiropractic arthritis treatment in Port Orchard, WA may include a combination of chiropractic therapies, including chiropractic care and cold laser therapy. Here’s a look at how cold laser therapy arthritis treatment works. 

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work? 

During cold laser therapy, your chiropractor will use a small device to beam light energy at the targeted treatment area. The device emits low levels of energy that don’t heat or damage the skin. The light energy, or photons, penetrate deep within the skin and tissue to the affected joint. As the body absorbs the light, it triggers a chemical change that stimulates cell and tissue healing and regrowth. During each treatment session, your chiropractor will place the device very close to the treatment area for 30-60 seconds at a time. You may need to undergo many treatment sessions to see results. 

What Arthritis Symptoms Are Treated by Cold Laser Therapy? 

Cold laser therapy can reduce or eliminate many uncomfortable symptoms of arthritis, including:

  • Acute or chronic pain
  • Inflammation
  • Poor circulation or blood flow
  • Edema and swelling
  • Stiffness
  • Mobility issues
  • Problems with flexibility or range of motion 

Cold laser therapy can also speed up wound healing and promote cell and tissue regrowth.

Why Choose Cold Laser Therapy for Arthritis Pain? 

Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and drug-free treatment option for mild to severe arthritis. There are no risks of undergoing cold laser therapy for arthritis, and you won’t experience any negative side effects or downtime. Cold laser therapy is safe for all ages, all levels and types of arthritis, and all lifestyles. Cold laser therapy can open up blood vessels to alleviate swelling, improve immune system function, stimulate the release of chemicals that heal tissues, build more connective tissues, improve joint function, and trigger the release of endorphins.
