Symptoms Treated
The applications for Laser Therapy are broad because its primary function is to support the body's own healing mechanisms. This means it may be a beneficial component of a care plan for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues that cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Many patients at Aascend Chiropractic seek this treatment for concerns that impact their ability to work, enjoy hobbies, and simply live comfortably in the Appleton, WI area. Rather than masking symptoms, our goal is to use Laser Therapy to address the underlying inflammation and tissue damage that creates them. We listen carefully to your experience, whether it's a new injury that won’t seem to heal or a chronic condition that has lingered for years, to determine if this modality is right for you. Dr. Benjamin Reinekin has seen this technology provide support for individuals from all walks of life, helping them on their path back to wellness. Some common experiences that may be addressed include:
- Persistent Neck and Shoulder Tension: For those who spend hours at a computer or behind the wheel, the development of deep knots and stiffness in the neck and shoulders is common. This can lead to tension headaches and a limited range of motion that makes daily tasks uncomfortable.
- Lower Back and Sciatic Discomfort: Aching or sharp pain in the lower back that sometimes radiates down the leg can be debilitating, making it difficult to stand for long periods, lift objects, or even find a comfortable sleeping position.
- Knee, Ankle, and Foot Pain: Whether from an old sports injury or the general wear and tear of an active life, joint pain in the lower extremities can prevent you from enjoying walks, participating in sports, or keeping up with family. This includes conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries: Issues like carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow can arise from repetitive motions at work or during recreational activities, leading to weakness, tingling, and pain in the wrists, hands, and elbows.
