Why We Start With Laser Therapy for Pain and Trauma Before Chiropractic Care

When patients come to us at Tutt Street Family Chiropractic in Kelowna after an accident, injury, or sudden flare-up of pain, their first concern is often simple: “How do I feel better—fast?”
That’s why we often begin treatment with laser therapy before introducing chiropractic adjustments. Let’s explore why this approach works so well, especially when trauma or severe pain is involved. The Power of Laser Therapy in Early Recovery
Laser therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to stimulate cellular healing. Here’s why it’s our go-to first step when pain levels are high:

Reduces swelling and inflammation: Laser penetrates deep into tissues, calming irritation and promoting circulation. This reduces painful swelling after an injury.
Speeds soft tissue repair: Structures like discs, ligaments, and muscles are especially vulnerable after trauma. Laser supports these tissues at a cellular level, boosting recovery time.
Relieves pain naturally: By improving circulation and reducing inflammation, laser therapy eases pain without medication.
Prepares the body for chiropractic care: With less pain and swelling, your body responds better to adjustments, making care more effective and comfortable.

Why Not Start With Chiropractic Adjustments Right Away?
In some cases, chiropractic care is too intense for the body immediately after trauma. When swelling is high or muscles are in spasm, adjustments can be uncomfortable or less effective.
Starting with laser therapy allows us to:

Calm the tissues before moving joints
Make chiropractic care safer and more comfortable
Shorten overall recovery time

It’s like laying the groundwork for the body to receive chiropractic adjustments more successfully. The Transition: From Laser to Chiropractic
Once inflammation decreases and tissues begin to stabilize, we gradually introduce chiropractic adjustments. This combination approach is powerful because:

Laser addresses the soft tissues(discs, ligaments, muscles).
Chiropractic restores alignment and movementin the spine and joints.

Together, they not only relieve pain but also promote long-term healing and better function. Healing From the Ground Up
At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic, our goal is always to get you back to living pain-free as quickly and safely as possible. By starting with laser therapy, we focus on immediate relief and tissue healing—then add in chiropractic care to restore balance and alignment.
If you’ve recently experienced an injury or are struggling with severe pain, don’t wait for it to get worse. Healing is faster and more complete when you start early.
