Laser Therapy

“After getting injured at a Judo competition, I could not straighten my right arm, Ollie said it was a ligament injury. He suggested laser therapy treatment. I didn’t think it would work but after the 1st treatment it felt better, after 3 treatments I felt no pain, and my arm was straight, and I had full movement. I would definitely recommend it.”

What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy is a painless, non-surgical treatment which works by delivering laser light energy to inflamed or damaged tissues. This encourages tissue repair and regeneration, also proving an analgesic effect – reducing pain and inflammation.

Laser therapy causes the blood vessels to expand, increasing oxygen supply to the injured area, clearing waste products and inflammation. It also reduces the speed of the transmission of pain messages in the nerves and helps muscles to relax. It can reduce swelling by flushing out any fluid accumulation.

Following an initial consultation and a full examination, your clinician can determine whether your condition is suitable for laser therapy.

What to expect

Prior to your first visit you will have been emailed a short health questionnaire to complete.

A Laser initial chiropractic consultation is split into 2 appointments. The first appointment is 45 mins long, during which we take a detailed case history about your presenting symptoms and ask questions about your general health. You will then receive a thorough examination, assessing your nerves, muscles and joints.

If your Chiropractor requires X-rays in order to help diagnose and treat your condition, they can arrange for these to be taken privately or via your GP.

The second part of the initial consultation lasts 30 minutes and is called a results session. This is where we will discuss our diagnosis with you, explain what was found on your examination, discuss the recommended laser treatment plan and how your condition can be helped. Once your condition has been explained thoroughly to you, and with your consent, laser treatment can begin. Treatment is included in the results session.

If Chiropractic care is not suitable for you, your chiropractor will refer you to your GP or another specialist.
