Laser Therapy
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate healing and reduce pain in damaged tissues. It works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by cells, promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. This non-invasive treatment is used for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and wound healing.
Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) utilizes light from a Low Intensity Laser Diode or an array of Superluminous Diodes to eliminate pain, accelerate healing, and decrease inflammation.
Unlike high-intensity lasers, laser therapy does not heat or cut tissue. Many pharmacological treatments mask pain or only address symptoms; however, laser therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means the treatments are effective and the benefits of laser therapy are long-lasting.
Laser therapy can be used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, arthritis, sports injuries, wounds, chronic and degenerative conditions, and dermatological problems.
Treatments can last between 30 minutes to over 1 hour, depending on the condition and area being treated. These time frames are based on very specific protocols set out by your clinician to maximize the benefits in the shortest period.
