Reducing Sciatic Pain With Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Sciatic pain occurs when the sciatic nerve is damaged, injured, diseased, or compressed. In addition to sharp pain, you may experience tingling, numbness, or a burning or itching pain that radiates from your lower back down one leg. Class IV laser therapy or deep tissue laser therapy can offer significant sciatica pain reduction without the use of prescription medication or surgery. At ChiroSports USA, our chiropractor, Dr. Abdollah Nejad, specializes in LightForce laser therapy for pain reduction in Union City and Pleasanton, CA. Let’s take a look at how to relieve sciatic nerve pain with laser therapy.
What Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy?
LightForce laser therapy is a class IV deep tissue laser therapy, which means that the laser light is stronger and more powerful than what is used in cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy. The light can penetrate deep within your tissues, bones, spine, ligaments, and muscles. Laser therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation, which means that when the laser light penetrates your skin, it triggers a biological response from your body. Your body sends chemicals, oxygen, and nutrients to the site that stimulate healing and cell, tissue, and muscle regrowth.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
You can remain fully clothed during your treatment, other than the treatment area (typically the lower back). Dr. Nejad will use a small, handheld device to deliver laser light to the targeted treatment area. You may feel a slight pressure and a warming sensation, but you should not feel any pain or discomfort. You can resume your regular routine immediately. Most people need a series of two or three treatments per week for four to six weeks.
Why Choose Laser Therapy for Sciatica Pain Reduction
Laser therapy is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical, drug-free treatment option for sciatica pain. Laser therapy can stimulate natural healing processes in the body that repair damaged or diseases tissues, muscle, and more. Over time, you will experience pain relief, improved circulation, and restoration of range of motion and mobility. You will be able to resume your regular activities after each treatment session. We can customize your treatment to your specific needs. Treatments are fast and only take 30-45 minutes and won’t cause any pain or discomfort.
