Laser Therapy Overview
Laser therapy can be used to manage many musculoskeletal complaints. There are 2 major categories of laser therapy used in musculoskeletal healthcare. These consist of Class 3b laser (low level laser therapy), and Class 4 laser therapy (high intensity laser therapy). At Origin, we use a Class 4 laser therapy which has higher wattage and allows for increased dosage to an area over a shorter time and deeper penetration of tissue. Laser therapy can be helpful for managing a large variety of conditions such as sprains/strains, osteoarthritis, tendinitis (including tennis/golfer elbow), shoulder injuries, plantar fasciitis and many other conditions. Give us a call if you would like to discuss laser therapy with one of our chiropractors.
