Chapter 01
The injuries that keep flaring back
Tendonitis, repetitive stress injuries and chronic inflammation share a pattern: they settle down, you return to normal load, and they come back. The tissue has not finished healing, it has just stopped hurting.
Laser therapy is aimed squarely at that gap. It puts light energy into the tissue to bring inflammation down and blood flow up, which is what accelerates the part of healing that pain relief alone skips over.

Why drug free matters to the people who ask for it
A lot of the patients who ask about laser have been managing something for a long time and do not want to keep managing it with medication. Laser gives a way to reduce pain and inflammation without adding anything systemic.
It is used here on back, neck, shoulder, knee and general joint pain, sports injuries, tendonitis, muscle strains, arthritis and soft tissue injuries.

Laser alongside adjusting, not instead of it
Laser is rarely the whole plan. If a joint has stopped moving, the laser will not restore the movement, and if the muscle around it is locked, needling or cupping is likely to do more.
What it does well is take the inflammation down far enough that the rest of the work holds. That is the reason it lives in the same building as the tables rather than in a separate clinic across town.
Drug free, and used alongside adjusting rather than in place of it.
