We have a class 3b cold laser at the office. The cold laser can be used in times where an adjustment is not indicated. The most common time for this is soft tissue injuries. Let's say you sprain your ankle. In this case, the ankle is unstable and an adjustment would be contraindicated. Instead, a cold laser used red and infrared waves to help heal the tissue faster than it could on its own. It does this by promoting tissue healing and increasing blood flow to the area.
If you experience a motor vehicle collision, chance are you have been injured. Studies have shown any collision over 5mph is the equivalent of catching a 10 pound sand bag from 2 stories high, that's a lot of force! To ensure the best care, check with your insurance company to make sure you have a policy called Personal Injury Protection (PIP). If you have this policy it can pay for your medical bills in case of an auto injury.
