Why Mothers Choose Laser Therapy for Breastfeeding Support
Our innovative approach to lactation challenges is different. We focus on:

- No downtime - continue breastfeeding immediately after treatment
- Quick treatment sessions - typically just 2-4 minutes per breast

- Same-day appointments for urgent lactation concerns
Common Breastfeeding Challenges We Address
Clogged & Plugged Milk Ducts
When milk flow becomes obstructed, creating painful lumps that can lead to more serious issues if left untreated. Laser therapy helps increase circulation and reduce inflammation to restore proper milk flow, often providing relief after just one session.
Low Milk Supply Concerns
When you're worried about producing enough milk for your baby. Our laser therapy can help enhance milk production naturally by optimizing tissue function and supporting the body's own milk-making processes.
Non-Bacterial Mastitis
Inflammation of breast tissue causing pain, swelling, and redness. Our targeted therapy reduces inflammation and improves circulation to help resolve mastitis more quickly and comfortably.
Nipple Pain & Fissures
Painful cracks or damage to nipple tissue that can make breastfeeding extremely uncomfortable. Laser therapy accelerates tissue healing and provides pain relief, often allowing continued breastfeeding while healing occurs.
Important Note: For maternal fever over 101.3°F (38.5°C) with mastitis symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider first, as this may indicate an infection requiring medical treatment.
How Innovative Laser Therapy Supports Your Breastfeeding Journey
The Power of Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Think of laser therapy like a gentle energy boost for your body's own processes. Just as your body needs energy from food during lactation, specific light wavelengths deliver targeted energy exactly where you need it most to support healthy breastfeeding.
The Science Behind Our Natural Approach:
- Enhances Cellular Energy Production providing your tissues with the energy needed for optimal function
- Increases Blood Circulation to breast tissue, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen
- Reduces Inflammation naturally, without medications
- Accelerates Tissue Healing for faster recovery from breast tissue damage
- Provides Pain Relief by modulating pain signals
- Supports Natural Milk Flow by addressing tissue congestion
Using the same advanced LightForce technology trusted by medical professionals nationwide, our laser therapy provides a powerful, yet gentle approach to various breastfeeding challenges.

Real Results from Nursing Mothers
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I visited Feel Good Chiropractic & Wellness and had a great experience! I went for the laser therapy for breastfeeding and lactation. Dr. Isaiah was so helpful throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions and ensured I knew exactly what to expect with the process. I was experiencing recurring clogged ducts and after the second visit, I have not had any issues. Definitely a great option to look into for the many different benefits!
