When it comes to making people feel better and help them to get fitter, it’s important to leave no stone unturned.
That’s why I’m delighted to say that, at Cleve Chiropractic, we investigate and take on board any new technology that we think will benefit our clients. If you’re suffering from an injury that’s stopping you enjoying your chosen sport or pastime – or maybe you just need to get back to the gardening or DIY – you want to do so as quickly and safely as possible.
We’ll always do our very best to get you back on track, both with traditional and ground-breaking modern treatments and therapies.
The latest bit of kit added to our hi-tech armoury comes in the form of the LightForce laser – a revolutionary way to take away the pain that’s proved to be a huge success for Olympic and college sports teams across the United States, as well in Europe and Asia.
We were so impressed that we bought TWO of these clever little machines and the results for our local patients and sportsmen and women have been amazing. There have already been some great advances in the treatment of wrist, hand and finger injuries.
Laser therapy is also very beneficial for shoulders and knees and we’ve recently achieved fantastic successes with people who have disc problems, dramatically reducing their pain.
So how do these treatments work and why are they so successful? Basically, laser therapy uses concentrated light to encourage a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). I know… it all sounds a bit like science fiction… but this simple process leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which helps decrease pain and inflammation. In turn, this speeds up the healing process.
Depending on the size, depth and severity of the injury, these high-powered lasers can deliver a degree of pain relief in a matter of a few minutes. Most patients will need between three and five sessions to see some serious results – but we think it’s well worth it.
Laser treatments must be applied direct to the skin so that the light gets to the tissue underneath – you can get a warm, comforting feeling from this so-called “laser massage”, now being used by some of the country’s top sports teams, including our own Bristol Bears.

It’s great to see so many local sports teams getting back into action following the COVID-19 restrictions. Of course, we all still have to stick to the government guidelines and our clinic prides itself on the strict infection control procedures in place.
