Laser Therapy in Westminster, CO

At Westy Sports Chiro, laser therapy with the Summus Horizon H1 aids active adults and athletes in Westminster, CO, managing inflammation or tissue damage. This modality targets conditions such as joint swelling from repetitive lifts or muscle strains from running. We incorporate laser therapy as a component within comprehensive treatment strategies, not as a standalone service, to facilitate healing.

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy, specifically photobiomodulation (PBM) using the Summus Horizon H1 Class IV laser, delivers non-invasive light energy at specific wavelengths to penetrate tissues and stimulate cellular processes. It promotes anti-inflammatory effects, enhances blood flow, and accelerates tissue repair by modulating biochemical pathways. At the cellular level, PBM positively influences mitochondria by increasing ATP production, reducing oxidative stress, and improving energy metabolism.

Grounded in clinical research, this approach differs from other modalities by focusing on biostimulation without thermal damage. For those searching for "laser therapy near me" in Westminster, CO, it integrates with therapies like dry needling or adjustments to address issues such as tendinopathies or chronic pain.

What to Expect from Laser Therapy

Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes and are customized based on assessments, with most incorporating multiple therapies. The process includes:

• Initial Evaluation: We assess the area to determine treatment parameters, such as wavelength and dosage for targeted tissues.
• Technique Application: The laser is applied in a scanning or contact mode over the affected region, with controlled exposure to deliver energy safely.
• Immediate Response: Patients may note reduced discomfort during the session, followed by complementary techniques to support outcomes.
• Post-Session Guidance: No downtime is required, though mild warmth may occur; recommendations include hydration to aid cellular processes.

This modality is utilized as part of your overall care.
