Low-level Laser Therapy
in South Elgin
When pain, swelling, or a stubborn tendon flare won’t calm down, you need something gentle that actually works. At Harmony Chiropractic, Dr. Curt Buss uses Class II Erchonia® low-level laser therapy to speed tissue repair without heat or discomfort. It’s conservative, safe for all ages, and a powerful add-on to chiropractic care.
How Light Therapy Works
Low-level laser delivers precise light energy that cells use to kick-start healing and reduce inflammation. You’ll relax while Dr. Buss directs a handheld device over the area for 6 to 20 minutes, depending on severity. Most people feel only mild warmth—or nothing at all.
Sessions are painless and easy, and we often pair this therapy with tailored adjustments and targeted rehab to help you recover faster. Many patients notice a difference after just one to three visits, especially with acute injuries. It’s a great option for sensitive areas and for seniors who prefer a gentler approach.
Conditions We Have Helped
This method helps calm irritation and accelerate repair in muscles, tendons, and joints. Common issues include:
- Tendonitis and overuse pain (elbow, forearm, knee)
- Sprains and strains, including ankle and wrist injuries
- Neck and low back pain flares with muscle spasm
- Shoulder, hip, and knee soreness from sports or daily life
- Post-injury swelling and stiffness
- Scar tissue sensitivity and soft-tissue adhesions
Results vary, and your plan will match your goals and exam findings. Dr. Buss will determine whether this therapy is best used alone or with chiropractic, acupuncture, or rehab.
Why Patients Choose Us
With one-on-one care, Dr. Buss builds a step-by-step plan that fits your body and lifestyle. On-site X-rays, CLA INSiGHT™ scans, and posture testing help us measure progress and keep care specific. Laser also helps when a firm adjustment isn’t ideal, so you can recover comfortably and quickly.
Laser therapy is a cash service; HSA/FSA plans are welcome, and we do our best to offer same-day appointments. Athletes also love how laser supports recovery between games and training.
