Laser Therapy in Decatur
Inflammation in the muscles and tissues of your body can cause pain and discomfort. This may result from an injury, stress on the body, and more. We may alleviate the resulting symptoms, without addressing the root cause of the problem.
Light has been used as a natural, healing source of energy for thousands of years, to help get inflammation and swelling under control. Whether it’s for sore shoulders, elbows, knees or other musculoskeletal issues, laser therapy at Decatur Back & Neck Center is a gentle and effective way to quickly reduce swelling and promote faster healing.

How Does It Work?
The laser is pressed against the skin over the area. We use the MR4 cold laser, so the patient doesn’t feel any heat. Another terrific benefit of the MR4 is its scanning ability. When we do a sweep over the affected area, it will alert us to the area where the inflammation is, allowing us to pinpoint the laser at that spot.
Can Laser Therapy Help Me?
Laser therapy is safe and effective on any joint condition, including arthritis. It’s included in our full body treatment, however, it’s most effective on the joints. Dr. Peck explains it to his patients using a magnet as an analogy. The laser acts as a magnet, increasing blood flow to the injured area to speed up the healing process, reducing inflammation, increasing mobility, and relieving pain associated with that joint.
Cold laser therapy doesn’t take a lot of time, but the results last long after you leave our office. The procedure is pain-free and effective, without any side-effects. It’s a win-win!
