Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy For Musculoskeletal Pain

Laser therapy for musculoskeletal pain and athletic injuries has come a long way. Your Temecula Chiropractor Dr. Horst, utilizes the most cutting edge technology to treat Murrieta and Temecula residents. The pain laser we use is very strong and the patient feels a nice warm healing sensation as we treat the injured area.

Here is an excerpt from our website about Deep Tissue Laser Therapy:

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy™ with the LiteCure LCT-1000 is an innovative, scientifically based, therapeutic modality, specifically designed to offer advanced pain relief and expedited healing times through a process known as photobiostimulation.

The LCT-1000 works by flooding tissues with photons, energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. This produces a cascade of healing responses in your body, rapidly reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating your pain.

In fact, the LCT-1000 deep tissue laser is used by many professional sports teams to accelerate healing times for musculoskeletal injuries and keep players on the field…or on the court. Here’s what the Boston Celtics have to say about the LCT-1000:

“The LCT-1000 laser therapy device has been an invaluable asset to our team. I would like to thank you and LiteCure for helping to keep our players in the game throughout our 2008 Championship season. This laser therapy device will continue to be part of the high level of care our medical staff provides our players.” Edward J. Lacerte, Med., PT, SCS, L/ATC, CSC S, Head Athletic Trainer for the Boston Celtics

Treatments take anywhere from 8-15 minutes, however the therapeutic effect is long lasting. Typically, between 5-15 sessions are required to obtain optimum healing potential.

There is no discomfort during treatment, simply a deep, gentle warmth as your body’s cells respond to the laser light. There are no known side effects. It is a non-invasive therapy with long lasting benefits.

Here is a partial list of some of the conditions that can benefit from laser therapy with the LiteCure LCT-1000:

Low Back and Neck Strain
Bulging, Fused or Slipped Discs
