If you’re living with debilitating knee pain, Dr. James “Billy” Wright and Dr. Tyler Wright at Wright Family Chiropractic of Austin and Cedar Park, TX, offer Laser Knee on Trac to get you back to comfortable living.

Guide to Knee Pain and How Laser Knee on Trac Can Help 

The knees are complex joints consisting of bones, ligaments, cartilage, nerves, and more. These components carry out a lot of work and sustain a great deal of pressure as you get through your day. As such, they often incur injuries and pain.

Additionally, many people suffer from chronic conditions, like osteoarthritis, and have had knee surgeries that left them in more pain or restricted movement than before. Below, Dr. Billy, Dr. Tyler, and the team at Wright Family Chiropractic in Austin and Cedar Park, TX, share how Laser Knee on Trac can help.

What Is Laser Knee on Trac? 

This technique combines two powerful healing approaches in one: laser therapy and traction. If you’ve ever experienced spinal decompression, you know that it is a way to gently stretch the spine and create space for your discs.

Traction therapy for the knees is similar. It gently stretches the knee joint to create space, which can increase range of motion and flexibility. The stretching also creates negative pressure in the joint, which pulls healing nutrients in that help replenish the soft tissues.

Laser therapy emits low levels of laser energy into the joint. This helps stimulate healing in the tissues, reduce inflammation, reduce tension, and promote the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers.

Combined, these two healing methods can treat a wide range of issues with the knees, including but not limited to:

• ACL tears
• Meniscal tears
• Sprains and strains
• Osteoarthritis
• Limited range of motion

Athletes overcoming injuries may find it especially beneficial. However, anything that causes chronic pain in the knees and keeps you from moving and functioning properly or comfortably can be addressed with Laser Knee on Trac. Your chiropractor will likely pair it with therapeutic exercises and other techniques to ensure optimal healing and relief.

The technique is also beneficial for those who have had surgery. It can help speed up post-op recovery, as well as address issues from failed surgery.
