A 5 star rating has been awarded to Low Level Laser Therapy, our laser section can be found listed under ”Pain Relief”, please also view our ”Low level Laser Testimonial Video”.
Sports Injuries
Ankle Syndesmosis Sprain, Anterior ankle impingement, plantar fasciitis, Stress Fracture, Foot Stress Fracture, Navicular stress fracture, Fifth metatarsal stress fracture, Achilles tendon rupture. Ankle sprain, Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy accelerates the healing process and recovery.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes pain on the inner and underside of the heel. It is worse first thing in the morning. It can affect every one old or young. Athlete’s, particularly suffer if it results from a partial tear of the plantar fascia, this the term used for plantar fasciitis which is a ’heel spur.
Treatment with Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy
Ankle Syndesmosis Sprain.
Syndesmosis sprains, are ’high ankle sprains they affect the ligament between the two shin bones, which are called the Tibia and Fibula. There is very little swelling on tenderness and for this reason they are difficult to diagnose. (see cold laser therapy for treatment))
Grade 1-2. Syndesmosis Sprains can last 5-10 weeks.
Grade 3. Syndesmosis Sprains may require surgery. The recovery period for these injuries is 4-6 months and much less with Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy.
Ankle sprains
The ankle sprains are the most common ankle injury, treated with cold or low level laser therapy fast recover
Foot stress fractures
Foot stress fractures are debilitating, the injuries can be severe, and require lengthy recover periods. The severest stress fractures in the foot are to the navicular and 5th metatarsal. They may require plaster or surgery; they have a very high rate of recurrence, treatment with cold laser therapy for quick recover excellent.
Navicular stress fracture
Navicular stress fractures are a running athlete’s nightmare. The navicular is a small bone at the top of the arch of the foot. It does not heal well. This is due in part to poor blood supply and mechanical load.
Treatment with Cold or Low Level laser therapy
Fifth metatarsal stress fracture.
This stress fractures is to the 5th metatarsal bone, on the outside of the foot. The bone develops the stress fracture at its base which is halfway down the outer side of the foot. Treatment with cold laser therapy combined with rest will speed up the recovery.
The Achilles tendon.
The Achilles tendon is the longest and thickest tendon in the body connecting the calf muscle group to the heel bone which is called calcaneus which can be found behind the ankle joint. These Injuries can be subdivided into partial tendon injuries, Tendonitis or partial tears and complete ruptures. Achilles tendon ruptures will require surgery. Achilles tendinopathy which means without rupture, can be subdivided into mid-substance or tendon injuries and insertional or tendon-bone junction injuries. Insertional injuries more than not involved calcification of the tendon
Treatment with Cold or Low Level Laser therapy.
Achilles tendon rupture
Achilles tendon ruptures are renowned in sporting activity, with rapid acceleration movements can cause this injury.
Ankle posterior impingement
Ankle posterior impingement is common injury where the ankle is placed in full plantar (downwards) flexion. The impingement is caused by an extra bone called an os trigonum.
Treatment with Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy or Surgery.
Ankle cartilage injuries
An ankle sprain can lead to an injury to the ankle cartilage lining and may cause prolonged disability
Anterior ankle impingement
Anterior ankle impingement this condition is very common in football players. The condition consists of bone spurs forming at the front of the ankle after repetitive sprains or contact injuries. Symptoms are pain at the front of the ankle and a limited range of forward movement which is called the dorsi-flexion of the ankle, Treated with Cold laser therapy to add recovery.
Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy/Treatment
The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Clinic are certified as Cold Laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Russia and Japan. In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy. It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.
Cold Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally. In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain. These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.
Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, non-invasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as;
Heel and foot pain Conditions and injuries, plantar fasciitis, Tendonitis, Ligaments and Tendons.
Athletic / sports Injuries.
Soft Tissue Injuries including Sprains and Strains, Tendonitis
Soft Tissue Injuries treated with Cold or low level laser therapy for pain relief and recovery
Ligaments, Muscle Tears and Sprains, Nerves, Tendonitis, Neck Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, and Knee, Hip, Foot.

Cold Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally. Cold Laser Therapy is similar to photosynthesis in plants; sunlight is absorbed by the plant and converted into energy the plant can utilize for growth. In the body light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of nitric oxide, singlet oxygen and ATP, as well as, an increase in the cell membrane’s permeability. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain. The additional energy and effects result in normalization of the cell function when cell function is impaired. These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage, and muscle.
