Laser Therapy

Ashley is still crying every day, some days worse than others.  We've started taking her to the chiropracter at 5pm in the evenings, three times a week, because she will then sleep well at night.  On Monday we started Laser Therapy for Ashley. 


We go to the Chiropracter office for this, and it is a cold laser, which means it does not burn.  Positive effects of this therapy include; anti-inflammatory action, increased metabolic activity, increased vascular activity and stimulated nerve function.  For Ashley, I am at my "wits end" and am willing to try anything!

She was completely relaxed and even smiling during the 10 minutes of Laser Therapy.  That night, she slept very well and did great at school the next day.  We're going to take her three times per week, for about 6 weeks and see if the results are worth the effort of taking her out that often.

Oh Jolene, it sounds so positive so far. I hope it is successful .... but more running around for you guys. Or maybe the benefits will last longer than a day in between (crossing my fingers and praying). Maybe X will have to learn how to "laser" in his spare time!

Jolene, I sure hope that the laser therapy works. You have so much on your plate that I am sure you must be exhausted. The thing that amazes me is that you always have a smile on your face.Marie McConnell
