One of the treatments available at Blue Mountain Family Chiropractic is called 'Low Level Laser Therapy' or simply Laser Therapy. Laser Therapy is a form of therapy that utilizes a focused infrared beam of light to make changes to tissues and cells in the body. These changes include reduction of pain and stimulation of healing.
Laser Therapy was discovered in Europe in the late 1970's and has been in use ever since. FDA approval was granted to the first laser therapy device for use in the USA in 1997. Laser therapy is used by chiropractors, medical doctors, and physical therapists to reduce pain and improve function. It is also used widely by dentists to reduce pain and inflammation after surgical procedures.
Dr. Touchinsky has seen his best results using laser therapy with conditions that involve nerve pain and dysfunction. Carpal tunnel syndrome has responded very well with laser therapy as part of the treatment plan. It has also worked well for people with tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.
