Laser Therapy

Find relief from pain and inflammation with our therapeutic laser treatment.

Laser Ther...moreapy are medical treatments. Laser light is tuned to very specific wavelengths, allowing it to be focused into powerful beams.

The 5 things everyone should know about laser therapy:
1. It reduces pain and inflammation without side effects. Laser therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation. Photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within mitochondria.
This interaction triggers a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism and a decrease in both pain and inflammation. Unlike medications, laser therapy reduces pain without undesirable side effects. Patients report long-lasting pain relief. The number of treatments required may vary depending on the acuity of the condition, many patients experience lasting relief after only a couple treatments.
2. Acute and chronic conditions. ACUTE CONDITIONS is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury (assuming there is no active hemorrhaging). The faster the inflammation is reduced and the healing process can begin, the better. In the case of acute injury, laser therapy helps restore the body to normal function quicker.
CHRONIC CONDITIONS its most often used to help combat persistent pain and inflammation. Laser therapy is especially well-suited for treating chronic conditions because it enables clinicians to treat a wider area of interest while still delivering therapeutically relevant dosages.
3. Treatments can be customized for each situation. Lasers that have larger power ranges offer versatile treatment options. A laser that can be set to operate from 0.5 W all the way up to 25 W, allows the clinician flexibility to treat low and slow or at maximum output.
4, Treatments feel good. Depending on the laser, it can create little to no sensation or it can create a gentle soothing warmth.
5. Treatments are fast, usually 5-10 minutes depending on the size, depth, and acuteness of the condition being treated. High-power lasers are able to deliver a lot of energy in a small amount of time....less
