City Line Chiropractic Introduces New Laser Treatment For Neuropathy and Joint Pain

The Class IV therapeutic laser treatments enhance tissue healing, reducing pain and inflammation while increasing circulation.

Dr. John Seward has been using laser therapy for most of his 20-plus years as a chiropractor. But a new, high-tech laser is allowing Seward to create  astonishing results in patients who suffer from neuropathy and joint pain. “People are walking better, sleeping better and leading better lives after a series of treatments,” Seward said. “It’s truly incredible.”

Seward uses Summus, a Class IV therapeutic laser that delivers advanced pain relief and enhanced tissue healing. “The high-powered laser therapy provides a safe, non-invasive solution for pain management, wound healing and rehabilitation,” he explained.

Opioid-free and non-surgical, laser therapy works by stimulating production of cellular energy in damaged cells and by enhancing the cell membrane permeability. This promotes the speed and the quality of healing, enhances the exchange of nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane and improves elasticity of injured tissues.

Laser therapy also modulates pain and reduces inflammation. It can be used immediately on acute injuries, over broken skin and over metal implants. Laser therapy enhances the rate and quality of healing of acute injuries and can help with the resolution of chronic complaints such as arthritis.

FDA cleared and proven to be 90% effective, Summus Laser Therapy treats peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy and other issues. Seward underwent training to use the laser properly, then started using it on patients in January. “The laser treatment is painless, but a series of them is required,” Seward said. “We’ve seen patients’ lives dramatically improved because of the laser. I’m so glad that we can provide this healing for them.”
