Laser Therapy in Ankeny
Advanced Healing Technology for Pain Relief and Recovery
At Feel Good Chiropractic in Ankeny, we offer state-of-the-art Class IV laser therapy (also known as photobiomodulation or PBM) to help you recover faster from injuries, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain without medications or invasive procedures. This powerful, non-invasive treatment works with your body's natural healing processes to accelerate recovery and provide lasting relief.
How Laser Therapy Works
Our advanced LightForce laser delivers specific wavelengths of light energy that penetrate deep into damaged tissues, stimulating cellular activity at the source of pain and injury:
- Accelerates Tissue Healing by increasing cellular energy production
- Reduces Inflammation by decreasing inflammatory mediators
- Increases Blood Flow to damaged areas, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen
- Provides Pain Relief by modulating pain signals
- Improves Range of Motion by decreasing muscle spasms and stiffness
The result is faster healing, reduced pain, and improved function—all without side effects, downtime, or recovery periods.
Your Laser Therapy Experience
During your quick treatment session:
- You'll relax comfortably while the laser device is positioned over the treatment area
- You'll feel gentle warmth as the therapeutic light penetrates the tissues
- Most treatments take just 2-5 minutes per area
- The procedure is completely painless with no side effects
- No recovery time needed—return to normal activities immediately
Personalized Treatment Plans
Most acute conditions respond well to 6-10 treatments, while chronic conditions may require more sessions initially. Your specific treatment plan will be customized based on your condition and response to therapy.
Some Conditions We Treat With Laser Therapy
Back and Neck Pain
Whether from disc issues, muscle strains, or joint dysfunction, our laser therapy effectively reduces inflammation and accelerates healing in spine-related conditions.
Joint Pain and Arthritis
Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain in arthritic joints while promoting repair of damaged cartilage, improving both comfort and function.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and tears in muscles, tendons, and ligaments respond particularly well to laser therapy's ability to stimulate collagen production and improve tissue strength.
Sports Injuries
Athletes in Ankeny benefit from faster recovery times for injuries like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, runner's knee, Achilles tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.
Nerve Pain
Conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome often experience significant relief as laser therapy reduces inflammation around compressed nerves.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Laser therapy can significantly accelerate healing after surgery, reducing pain and improving outcomes when used as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.
Why Choose Laser Therapy at Feel Good Chiropractic
Chiropractic & Laser Therapy
For many conditions, the combination of chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy creates significantly better outcomes than either treatment alone:
- Chiropractic care restores proper joint alignment and nervous system function
- Laser therapy accelerates tissue healing, relieves pain, and reduces inflammation
Together, they address both structural issues and cellular healing simultaneously.
This complementary approach often results in:
- Faster relief from pain and discomfort
- More complete healing of damaged tissues
- Better long-term outcomes with reduced recurrence
- Improved overall function and mobility
