Advanced Healing for Pain and Inflammation
When you’re in pain, it’s easy to feel limited and frustrated. Stiff joints, sore muscles, or lingering injuries can keep you from moving the way you want. At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh offers laser therapy, a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to speed healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain—so you can get back to doing what you love.
​
What is Laser Therapy?
​
Laser therapy, sometimes called cold laser or Class IV laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing in the body. The light penetrates the skin and interacts with cells, encouraging them to repair tissue, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
​
This process is known as photobiomodulation, and it helps the body heal more efficiently and naturally.
​

What to Expect During Treatment
​
Laser therapy is simple and comfortable. You’ll sit or lie in a relaxed position while Dr. Josh directs a handheld device over the targeted area. The laser emits a gentle light that penetrates the tissues without causing heat or discomfort.
Most patients feel only a soothing warmth, and sessions typically last less than 20 minutes. After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately.
​
How Laser Therapy Fits Into Chiropractic Care
​
Laser therapy is often used alongside chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or corrective exercises as part of a comprehensive care plan. By combining these approaches, Dr. Josh helps patients recover more fully and maintain lasting results.
