Chronic pain shouldn't run your life. Whether you're dealing with stiff joints, nagging injuries, or nerve pain that won't quit, infrared laser therapy at Wilke Chiropractic gives you a safe, non-invasive way to heal faster and feel better.
What Is Infrared Laser Therapy?
Infrared laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses focused light to reach deep into your tissue without cutting or burning the skin. Unlike surgical lasers, our infrared laser stimulates your body's own healing response at the cellular level, reducing inflammation and easing pain from the inside out.
Dr. Melissa Wilke uses infrared laser therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments to help patients throughout Geneva, IL recover faster and get more out of every visit. The two treatments work well together. Research on facet joint pain found that patients who combined chiropractic care with cold laser therapy saw better results than those who used either treatment alone.
How Infrared Laser Therapy Helps
We use infrared laser therapy to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
What to Expect During Treatment
Infrared laser therapy doesn't hurt. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and soothing, and many notice relief starting with their very first session. Because the laser works cumulatively, we typically recommend a series of treatments to get you the best long-term results. Each session builds on the last, helping reduce pain and inflammation more with every visit.
