Low Level Laser in Hartford

Laser therapy at our Hartford SD chiropractic clinic is used to help stimulate the body at a cellular level to promote tissue growth and healing. It also improves the blood supply which helps to:

• Wake up dormant cells
• Increase function
• Decrease swelling

Unlike high-power lasers that use heat and destroy tissue, low-energy lasers affect the cellular energy of the underlying tissue. When combined with chiropractic care, Laser therapy can help patients achieve a higher level of health and wellness.

How Laser Works In Hartford SD

Your cells have the ability to produce energy, called ATP. When these cells are stressed (due to disease, injury or aging etc.) the mitochondria, which is the power source of your cells, cannot produce enough energy for healing. This leads to inflammation and cell death. The laser stimulates your cells to produce ATP. When this energy is restored, cellular stress is reduced, normal mitochondrial function is returned and metabolism is improved. When the mitochondria is functioning properly, effective healing occurs. With ATP, your cells have more energy to repair and regenerate new tissue.
