Recent Affirmations:

“I have had an upper hamstring issue for over 9 years.

This issue makes it very painful to sit at times and drive for more than 10 minutes. I have tried physical therapy and gym exercises with very limited success and a cortisone injection a year ago , which worked for only 6-7 months before the issue returned unabated. My expectations of the laser treatment were low, but I noticed a significant improvement after the first treatment. I did a series of 4 treatments along with massage therapy and have had almost 2 pain-free months. Based on that experience, I did a series of treatments for osteoarthritis in my right knee. Again, the results have been very good!” – Paul B.

“I am incredibly grateful for the results I’ve received

…from having the Berman laser performed on my back issues at Onion River Chiropractic. This machine is a medical miracle delivering relief from chronic pain, which I’ve suffered from for years. It has allowed me to regain confidence in my life, with the gift of increased ability to function despite my physical ailment.  Thank you!” – Anna M.

My thoughts as a 30+ year practicing chiropractor:  

“In my thirty-four years as a chiropractor, the high-intensity laser has been the single most effective treatment (NOT including spinal manipulation/adjusting) we’ve used to treat musculoskeletal conditions. We have been amazed how quickly and effectively it has allowed us to treat forearm tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder tendonitis, rotator cuff syndrome, shoulder impingement, shoulder/hip bursitis, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, osteoarthritis of the knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, hand, and even peripheral neuropathy. My staff and I are first to seek it out to treat our own conditions and injuries. We are endlessly amazed at the results provided by the high-intensity laser.” – Dr. Kelly Rybicki  

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function. Unlike surgical lasers that cut or burn tissue, the lasers used in our therapy are non-invasive and painless. They work by delivering light energy to the affected areas, promoting healing at the cellular level.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

The process begins with the application of a laser device to the skin over the area of concern. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells, leading to a series of biological reactions. This absorption triggers the following effects:

  • Increased Blood Flow: Laser therapy enhances circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.
  • Reduced Inflammation: The therapy helps decrease inflammation, which is often a source of pain and discomfort.
  • Pain Relief: By stimulating the release of endorphins and other pain-relieving substances, laser therapy can significantly reduce pain levels.
  • Accelerated Healing: Laser therapy promotes cellular repair and regeneration, speeding up the healing process for injuries and chronic conditions.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Laser therapy offers a wide range of benefits that make it an attractive option for patients seeking relief from various conditions:

  1. Non-Invasive: One of the most significant advantages of laser therapy is that it is non-invasive, meaning no needles or surgical procedures are involved.
  2. Painless: Most patients report feeling a gentle warmth during the treatment, with no discomfort or side effects.
  3. Quick Sessions: Treatments typically last between 10 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.
  4. Versatile Applications: Laser therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
    • Chronic pain (e.g., arthritis, back pain)
    • Sports injuries
    • Tendonitis
    • Neck pain
    • Post-surgical pain
    • Wound healing
  5. No Downtime: Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, making it an ideal option for those with active lifestyles.
