Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique to help reduce pain and inflammation. Laser therapy can be safely used as an adjunct or
replacement for pharmaceutical drugs and laser therapy can be effectively combined with a number of other treatment modalities. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery. The laser is painless and has no side effects. It is completely safe. During treatment, the patient can experience soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.

Laser therapy treatments last between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the condition being treated and/or body part. Laser therapy treatments can be administered directly to or directly over skin, as laser light cannot penetrate through layers of clothing.

Depending on the condition being treated your therapy may be administered through either a contact or non-contact hand piece. The contact hand piece is designed to allow the practitioner to physically manipulate the tissue while administering the treatment, resulting in a laser-massage treatment. This allows for light to penetrate deeper into tissues than the non-contact hand piece due to it’s ability to displace tissue through a laser-massage technique.

Patients generally see results after 3 to 5 treatments but may see results after the first session.  For more chronic conditions, 10-15 sessions may be needed to achieve your treatment goal.  Typical sessions are 2-3 times per week for short duration treatments and 1-2 times per week for longer protocols. Your doctor will develop a treatment plan that is optimal for your condition.
