A Lake Orion chiropractor can ease your leg pain by using low level laser therapy (LLLT). This therapy has been found to reduce pain of chronic conditions like arthritis, and can aid in the speed of healing. People, who have leg problems due to accidents, sports injuries, or normal day to day workouts, can find relief when receiving this therapy. After many years of research and use in Europe this useful technique has found its way to the US.

The United States Food and Drug Administration okay the use of this method in 2002. The success in Europe and the positive results of research lead to this approval. The research provided the tests needed to figure out the proper wavelength of the laser light and the intensity to increase healing and allow relief from pain. The use of LLLT has steadily increased since this approval.

When this technique is used, the body transforms the laser light into efficient biochemical energy that speeds repair. This therapy enhances the body's own healing power in a similar way that Vitamin D is produced through exposure to the sun. Using the body's own capacity to heal removes or lessens the need for medications.

No know side effects have been found for this therapy. But the technique has been shown to be quite effective managing long-term pain like that from arthritis, and managing short-term pain from injury or accident.

Athletes rely on LLLT to reduce the time to heal. Competition is intense and anytime away from training can take an athlete out of the race. With quicker healing time the chance of injuring the same area again is reduced.

Many people cannot or do not want to rely on pain medication. LLLT can give people another way to achieve a state free of pain without prescription medication. Addressing injury and pain early can help avoid surgery or prolonged pain. Search online for a Lake Orion chiropractor who provides this laser therapy.
