Laser Therapy Laser Therapy is the application of laser light over injuries or lesions to improve soft tissue healing which gives relief to both acute and chronic pain. Laser Therapy penetrates the skin driving healing energy (photons) into the tissues. Most people feel nothing at all during the treatment, while some may feel a slight tingling or warmth. Laser Therapy can help diminish pain, reduce inflammation, decrease edema, promote faster healing times and increase strength of repaired tissues.

Dry Needling Dry Needling is a treatment technique often used to relieve pain. It requires using a sterile needle that is inserted through the skin into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and/ or close to nerves to immediately reduce pain, decrease muscle tension and increase mobility.

Patient Success Spotlight

“Everyone was very friendly and professional. They really put me at ease... and made me feel special.” “Coming to Pittman was one of the best decisions that I have made. My left shoulder was injured when I fell. I had difficulty moving my entire left arm. I needed help dressing myself, combing my hair, actually grooming myself, and reaching for things that I need on the upper areas. At Pittman, everyone was very friendly and professional. They really put me at ease. My therapists Mitch, Helen, and Brad gave me their full attention and made me feel special. I would recommend Pittman to my family and friends. ” - C. J.
