Heat and Cryotherapy

Laser Therapy
Various lasers can be applied to the skin and muscles to stimulate biological processes and cellular activity. The right lasers may speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and otherwise help treat aches and injuries. While the term “lasers” may conjure up SciFi weapons, chiropractic lasers are safe and produce minimal discomfort.
