my chiro uses low level laser therapy { also called soft laser, cold laser etc}.

I found info about it and various other alternative type therapies while searching for treatments for my chronic RSI/TOS & musculoskeletal pain.
I would give it a try if you find someone that uses it or has one.

Chiro has used it on my shoulder, wrist, elbow, sacroiliac joint - often 1 treatment with the laser does the job for me when I have a specific pain area.

here are some sites I found that help to explain low level laser therapy

Not to be confused with LED light therapy - they both use light but the power and speed of treatment is much better with the LLLT.
