Laser therapy is a non-invasive use of laser energy to generate a response in damaged or dysfunctional tissue. Laser therapy treatment helps reduce pain and inflammation and enhances tissue healing—both in hard and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and even bones and accelerate recovery. Laser therapy allows your body to utilize its own healing powers by inducing a series of healing responses in your body. During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
This unique therapy can be used as…
• An adjunct to prescription drugs
• Substitute for surgery
• A pre-surgery treatment
• Post-surgery treatment to accelerate healing
• A long-term pain management system
• Acute injury treatment
