What Is Chiropractic Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy (also called Photo-Biomodulation) is the use of a Class IV laser in your plan of care. Class IV lasers provide faster treatment times, deeper tissue stimulation and the sensation of soothing warmth.
WIN Health Performance Centre in Niagara Falls utilizes Class IV laser therapy and our WIN Chiropractors are professionally trained in laser therapy techniques.
Laser therapy produces therapeuticl effects by using specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared). These light waves will stimulate various processes within the body in an attempt to alleviate pain, swelling, and can allow an increase in range of motion.

Decrease Pain & Inflammation
There are many benefits to incorporating laser therapy to your chiropractic treatment plan at WIN Health Performance Centre in Niagara Falls.
Laser therapy is non-invasive and a pain free treatment. It has a strong anti-inflammatory effect which can lead to a decrease in pain as well as swelling.
What Is Laser Therapy?
You will be assessed by your WIN Health Chiropractor to determine if Class IV Laser therapy is the right choice for your injury, and if you are a good candidate to safely receive treatment.
The WIN Health Chiropractors will make sure you are wearing protective eye glasses and decide on time and intensity. The laser does not touch the skin, but will come close to it and the wand will be moved in vertical and horizontal motions across the area of injury. You may feel gentle heat during your session around the area(s) being treated.
What Conditions Can Be Helped?
Class IV Laser therapy can be utilized for new (acute) and old (chronic) injuries. Here are some examples:
– Pain due to arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, sprains, strains, and muscle injuries
– Inflammation due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
– Soft tissue injuries such as ligament tears, tendon injuries, and muscle strains
– Wound healing (injuries or post surgical)
– Sports-related injuries such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, runner’s knee, and Achilles tendonitis
– Nerve pain like in conditions such as neuropathy or neuralgia
Can Laser Therapy Help Me?
