If we asked you to picture lasers in your mind, your imagination might first turn to a space sci-fi flick or perhaps a spy movie or something similarly fantastical. Lasers in fiction are often cutting-edge and dangerous. In some cases, that’s also true in real life. However, lasers in medical care are not only more than safe, but highly effective at addressing issues that have plagued patients and are hard to solve with other forms of treatment. If you live in or near Santa Clara, CA, and are interested in laser therapy, contact the Wellness Revolution Health Center. Dr. Michael Pierce and his team are ready to help.

How Lasers Work in Chiropractic Care

There are many types of lasers. The lasers you see being used as cutting tools in dental offices are “hot” lasers, and they are highly energetic. The lasers used in chiropractic care are typically “cold” lasers. This means there’s not a lot of heat and energy levels aren’t intense. They are also known as low-level laser therapy.

While cold lasers are not as flashy, they can be highly effective. Cold lasers can penetrate deep into your body, reaching areas that hands-on practitioners may struggle to reach. The energy delivered stimulates the body in many ways.

Cold lasers can encourage healthy blood flow, nutrient absorption, and the release of ATP, which boosts the energy available to cells. This can spur healing and help you recover from an injury or illness. They can also encourage your body to produce and release endorphins, which are “feel good” chemicals that can reduce pain and potentially brighten your mood.

Given all of the above, lasers are popular in various medical settings. If you or your loved ones want to schedule laser therapy in Santa Clara, CA, get in touch with the Wellness Revolution Health Center. Dr. Pierce has helped many patients improve their health with laser treatments and other forms of care.

Lasers Are A Widely Applicable Tool

There is no such thing as a cure-all. That said, like other functional medicine services, cold laser treatments can assist with a variety of things. If you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, laser treatment could help speed you to total recovery.  Even if you’re not sure if lasers will help, feel free to reach out to Dr. Pierce.
