Laser therapy uses light energy to penetrate deep under your skin to treat many different painful and debilitating conditions.

Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates cellular turnaround. This speeds up recovery in the area and more quickly reduces pain associated with the injury.

Many of Dr. Aull’s patients report that laser therapy successfully addressed their medical conditions and concerns, including:

• Back and joint pain
• Sprains and strains
• Post-surgical recovery
• Arthritis
• Disc disease
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Muscle strains and tears
• Sore muscles and joints
• Degenerative joint conditions
• Neurological pain
• Chronic nonhealing wounds
• General pain
• Musculoskeletal disorders
• Pre- and post-surgical treatment
• Anti-inflammation applications

Common results after a regimen of laser therapy include:

• Quick alleviation of pain
• Immediate improvement of local blood circulation
• Rapid healing of sprains, strains, and bruising
• Strong anti-inflammatory effect and resolution of swollen areas
• Expeditious recovery of the structural integrity of the injured region
• Speedy repair of superficial injuries, such as wounds and ulcers

Laser therapy is a noninvasive and painless treatment applied atop a target area on your skin. It typically lasts several minutes. If anything, you might experience a mild but not uncomfortable sensation on the skin where the laser light is applied.

Most patients see positive results in 1-3 treatments. Improvements noticed after a laser therapy session include quick relief of any pain and swelling in the area. Patients with acute conditions often notice their symptoms subside quickly, and those with chronic conditions can control their symptoms with regular laser therapy treatments.

Acupuncture involves the use of extremely thin needles placed in strategic points on the body. It can be used to relieve headaches, back and neck pain, menstrual cramps, joint pain, as well as nausea and vomiting as a result of chemotherapy treatment.

Biofeedback is a type of training that allows you to harness control of your body’s natural functions. By understanding what can cause a change in your body – such as lowered blood pressure, the relaxing of muscles, or pain reduction – you can learn to help achieve these states on your own.

In addition to relaxation and relief of pain and muscle tension in the body, massage can dramatically improve blood flow in your body. This can bring oxygen- and nutrient- rich blood to damaged cells, helping them heal faster and more completely.

For some patients, Therapeutic injections can break the cycle of pain and bring relief after a single treatment. For example, acute joint pain may be relieved with a single corticosteroid shot at the affected joint. If you suffer from knee osteoarthritis, viscosupplementation may help delay or avoid knee replacement surgery. The type of pain management injection you may need will depend on the cause, location, and severity of your pain.

In many cases, you might need a prescribed orthotic device to help you heal after an injury or surgery. Orthotics can be purchased off-the-shelf or be custom-made. Ask Dr. Aull what type of orthotic may be right for you.
