Laser therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue to help accelerate the healing process.
Laser therapy is the non-invasive use of laser energy to generate a photochemical response in damaged or dysfunctional tissue. Laser therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. As rehabilitation specialists know, the main goal of treatment for many when treating painful, debilitating conditions is to facilitate improved function and mobility. Laser therapy is a drug-free, surgery-free technique to help make that goal a reality (LiteCure).
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are administered in 5 to 10-minute increments. Typically, patients see results after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity. Despite fast treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up 24 hours after treatment.
Laser therapy provides you with a safe and effective alternative to drugs and surgery.
Most patients see results within 3 to 5 short treatments. Lasers work by flooding the tissue with photons, which energizes cells resulting in increased circulation to the injured area and ultimately pain reduction.
Laser therapy allows your body to utilize its own healing powers by inducing a series of healing responses in your body. During treatment, you will feel a soothing warmth that identifies the beginning of an 18-24-hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation.
