Laser therapy targets damaged tissues with specific wavelengths of light that have been found to interact with musculoskeletal tissue and accelerate the healing process. This results in decreased pain, stiffness, swelling and spasm so patients may be able to resume normal hobbies and activities.
 

Conditions treatable with laser include:

Back pain
Neck pain
rib pain
jaw pain
Tendinopathies
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Myofascial Trigger Points
Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
Ligament sprains
Muscle strains
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
Plantar fasciitis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand pain
Hip, knee, ankle and foot pain
Post -traumatic injury
sports injuries
RTA abd work related injuries   
 
Many patients report  pain relief in as little as one or two sessions, although more chronic conditions will take a short course of treatment and occasional “maintenance”. Treatment is quick – between 2-9 minutes depending on the area being treated.
 
Treatment is very comfortable – most patients report a warm, relaxing sensation. e goal is HEALING, not just symptomatic relief.

A Case Example of Combining Chiropractic and Msk Laser Therapy

Mrs DD came to see Dr Sarah Watton for help with severe ankle pain and stiffness following a fractured ankle in 2020. She had been a patient previously at the clinic receiving successful treatment for low back pain. Despite excellent, extensive physiotherapy Mrs DD was still having difficulties walking.

She had not considered that Chiropractic would be able to help her, but her sister (also a patient at the clinic) asked if laser therapy would help her.

Following an examination Dr Sarah Watton decided a combination of chiropractic and laser therapy would be helpful. Mrs DD has had 6 treatments so far –two treatments a week – one having chiropractic and laser treatment in one session, and the other just laser treatment. Dr Watton also prescribed some simple exercises for Mrs DD to do at home.

Mrs DD has shown a remarkable improvement. She is able to walk much better with less pain, and she has far more flexibility and range of movement in her ankle. Mrs DD is delighted at the difference the treatment has made.

The treatment is going to continue treatment, and plan to reduce the treatment frequency down to one session a week.

The video shows Mrs DD having the laser treatment on her ankle.

Don’t just listen to us, this is what some of our patients are saying: 

“Sarah Tsang is an extremely caring and skilled practitioner who with the additional use of k-laser therapy gives an even more deeply effective treatment.
Sarah has such a strong commitment to providing as effective and beneficial treatment as possible, and I can never thank her enough for all she has achieved in improving my health. I have far greater mobility and no pain now. Thank you so much Sarah.”

Jackie V (December 2021)

“I am absolutely delighted with the treatment I have received from Dr Sarah Watton at Abbey Chiropractic Clinic. A course of K-Laser treatment together with Sarah’s chiropractic skills gave truly remarkable results in just 4 weeks. My wrist was incredibly stiff and uncomfortable following a fracture and surgery and after just two weeks of treatment significant movement had returned. Sarah was then able to extend this treatment to a related shoulder joint issue which has given me such welcome pain relief. I am just simply amazed at the results achieved in a relatively short period of time. I can thoroughly recommend this treatment for any painful joint problem.”

Karen P, New Forest

“Dr Sarah Watton has been giving me laser treatment on my neck. I have had problems with my neck for several years. I have had two treatments so far and have notice a good improvement in my pain.  I have already booked my next appointment.”

Peter C (September 2021)

“I have had 5 sessions of laser therapy on my bunion/big toe at the Abbey Chiropractic Clinic. My 2nd toe was pressng against my big toe and almost crossing over it. There was also pain/discomfort in the toe joint. Since having the laser treatment I have noticed a considerable improvement in both the position of my toes and the pain. The therapy is very comfortable and a pleasant experience. I have recommended it to other family members.”

Mandy P (September 2021)

“I am 85 years of age and I have arthritis in both my knees which can be very painful at times. Dr Sarah Watton has been using the new K-Laser on them and I have noticed that after 2 treatments it has already started to give me relief from pain. I will definitely continue with the treatment.”

Ann C (September 2021)

“I have a rather uncomfortable left lateral epicondylitis which has been limiting my ability to do everyday tasks effectively. I have had 3 laser therapy sessions with Dr Sarah Watton and definitely notice a reduction in the pain afterwards. I have other health issues that require numerous medications so it is very appealing that this treatment reduces the need for additional pain relief. I is also reassuring to find an effective, non-invasive and non-surgical approach with no side effects or adverse effects. the treatment itself is not uncomfortable whatsoever and the warmth of the laser is comforting.”

Sara Q Paediatric Nursing Sister (September 2021)

“I have now had six sessions of laser treatment treatment and  I am delighted with the results. I seem to have more freedom and flexibility in the joints and pain has been considerably reduced. It is great not to be absolutely reliant on pain killers.”

Pat G (September 2021)

“I have had 3 sessions of laser treatment on my knee so far. I have one knee that has been replaced and the other with quite bad arthritis. They have both been quite painful at times especially first first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The laser treatment has enabled me to move around almost pain free all day. I can climb and come down stairs one by one instead of one at a time, even first thing in the morning. I am very impressed with this laser treatment and would recommend it to anybody with painful joints.”

Eleanor T (September 2021)

“I have been going to Sarah W at the Abbey Chiropractic Clinic for the last 8 months and she has worked on my ankle which I broke seriously and needed surgery for) with various treatments. I have now been having laser therapy for about six weeks. I am pleased to say that my ankle seems more flexible. Thank you Sarah!”

Pauline M (September 2021)

“Having two painful arthritic knees which over the past year have severely restricted my activity, i decided to take up Sarah’s offer of K-Laser treatment. I am not sure what I expected – certainly not a miraculous cure, but I have been surprised by how the treatment has aidd the flexibility of the joints. My knees now fully straighten which they did not before and I have somewhat increased my walking range – not without pain obviously, but certainly less immediately acute than before. The treatment itself is painless and not unpleasant at all. I will happily continue with it in the hope ore more improvement”
