Theralase Laser Therapy in Kanata
A comfortable, non-invasive treatment option.
Theralase laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to deliver energy to targeted tissues. It may help manage pain and inflammation and support the body's tissue-repair processes.
At KNFChiro, we use Theralase as part of individualized care for a range of musculoskeletal concerns. It can be used on its own or alongside other chiropractic treatments, depending on your needs and goals.
What Can Laser Therapy Help With?
Theralase may be considered for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns, including:
Plantar fasciitis: Heel and foot pain associated with irritation of the plantar fascia.
Tennis elbow: Pain and tendon-related symptoms around the outside of the elbow.
Osteoarthritis: Joint pain and stiffness associated with degenerative joint changes.
Tendon and soft tissue injuries: Including tendon irritation, muscle strains and other activity-related injuries.
Joint and musculoskeletal pain: Depending on the area affected and your individual assessment.
Research into therapeutic laser treatment varies by condition and treatment protocol. Some applications have stronger evidence than others, and results aren't guaranteed. We'll help you determine whether laser therapy may be a suitable option for your circumstances.
How Does Theralase Work?
Theralase uses low-level laser light to interact with tissues. Photobiomodulation—the process by which cells respond to light energy—is being studied for its potential effects on cellular activity, pain and inflammation.
The aim is to help reduce discomfort and support tissue recovery. The degree of benefit varies between individuals and depends on factors such as the condition being treated and the treatment approach.
What to Expect
Theralase is non-invasive, and treatment should be comfortable. There is no need for an incision or injection.
Your chiropractor will select the treatment approach and settings based on your needs. If you experience discomfort during treatment, let your practitioner know so the settings and approach can be reassessed.
Laser therapy may be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other appropriate chiropractic care. We'll discuss the options with you and monitor how you're responding.
Insurance Coverage
Theralase laser therapy is provided under chiropractic care at KNFChiro. Coverage depends on your extended health benefit plan, including its chiropractic benefits, annual limits and any other conditions.
