Laser and light therapy for maternal and infant health: A clinical perspective
Summary: Having a baby is incredibly hard on the body. Moms deal with muscle pain, healing scars, and breastfeeding troubles like cracked nipples or mastitis. Babies can also have sore necks or tight muscles from the birthing process, which makes it hard for them to latch and feed.
To help, many chiropractors are using a cool tool called laser and light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation. This therapy uses red and near-infrared light to help cells make more energy and heal faster. It lowers swelling and stops pain without using any drugs or chemicals.
It is completely safe for both moms and babies. When used along with regular chiropractic care, it helps moms heal from birth trauma and helps babies relax their jaw and neck muscles so they can breastfeed easier.
