Nonsurgical laser spinal decompression therapy is a noninvasive, drug-free treatment option for those suffering from chronic back pain, herniated discs, sciatica and other spinal conditions. The therapy works by utilizing a computerized traction that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and joints, allowing them to retract and heal properly. This can help alleviate pain and improve mobility in those suffering from spinal issues.
When combined with class 4 laser therapy, spinal decompression can become even more effective in providing relief and promoting healing. Class 4 laser therapy, also known as high-intensity laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the tissues of the body. This can stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation and promote healing at the cellular level.
One of the key benefits of combining class 4 laser therapy with spinal decompression is how they work together to reestablish the natural pumping action of the vertebrae on spinal discs. The spinal discs act as shock absorbers for the spine, allowing for flexibility and movement. However, when these discs become compressed or damaged, it can cause pain and discomfort. By using spinal decompression therapy, the discs can be gently stretched and decompressed, allowing for proper healing to occur.
Class 4 laser therapy complements this process by promoting cellular priming of the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells, responsible for producing energy to keep the cells functioning properly. When cells are damaged or under stress, their mitochondrial function can become impaired. By using class 4 laser therapy, the mitochondria can be primed to produce more energy and promote healing within the cells.
In addition to cellular priming, class 4 laser therapy also has a photobiomodulation effect on the body. This means that the light energy from the laser can stimulate biological processes within the body, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. When used in conjunction with spinal decompression therapy, this can help to speed up the healing process and provide relief for those suffering from spinal issues.
When combining class 4 laser therapy with spinal decompression, patients can experience a synergistic effect that enhances the overall benefits of both treatments. The stretching and decompression of the spine provided by spinal decompression therapy can help to improve spinal alignment and reduce pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This, combined with the cellular priming and photobiomodulation effects of class 4 laser therapy, can help to promote healing at a faster rate and provide long-lasting relief from pain and discomfort.
Overall, the combination of class 4 laser therapy and spinal decompression can offer a powerful and effective treatment option for those suffering from chronic back pain, herniated discs, sciatica and other spinal conditions. By working together to reestablish the natural pumping action of the vertebrae on spinal discs and promote cellular priming and tissue repair, these therapies can provide a safe and non-invasive solution for those looking to improve their spinal health and overall well-being.
