pALMER CHIROPRACTIC CENTER

Photobiomodulation Therapy is a relatively new approach to pain relief and healing, but one that has shown a lot of success for many patients. Palmer Chiropractic Center, with locations in Lynchburg and Altavista, VA, offers this procedure and has seen great success with many of our patients.

If you have issues with chronic pain and you want to avoid pain medications, this procedure could be right for you.

How Is Photobiomodulation Therapy Used?

Photobiomodulation Therapy is used in two ways. Small, concentrated lasers can be used to target a specific area. These areas typically line up with the points where acupuncture needles would usually be placed. Essentially, this method of Photobiomodulation Therapy takes the place of acupuncture, making this a great choice for anyone who wants the benefits of acupuncture but doesn’t want to be poked with needles.

The second method uses a broad range laser combined with IR therapy or red light photons to stimulate healing in a larger area. This method is ideal for people with muscle aches or joint pain in areas that are hard to treat with traditional methods. This procedure can help with issues such as arthritis and other painful conditions.

How Does It Work?

Lasers emit light in a specific wavelength that is easily absorbed into joints and muscles in the body. These photons are absorbed into the body’s cells, giving them the energy needed to repair themselves. Over 4,000 studies have been conducted on Photobiomodulation Therapy, and the procedure has been shown to promote healing in damaged tissues.
