Sudoku Train Your Brain With
If you are seeking out physical therapy, chances are that you are dealing with some kind of pain. One treatment method that thousands of therapists and patients all over the world are enthusiastic about is deep tissue laser therapy. Here at The Physical Therapy Doctor, our therapists love using our new LightForce® EX therapy laser by LiteCure Medical, which was designed to help them achieve more consistent, positive outcomes for your most difficult and painful conditions. The recent development of these Class IV systems helps therapists deliver more specific doses of light deep into your tissue to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate healing. The procedure works like this: Deep tissue laser therapy accelerates your body’s natural healing process through photobiostimulation, which is really just a fancy medical term that refers to an increase in your cells’ metabolism that allows for reduced inflammation in the body. What makes our laser particularly effective is that its power output is between 0.5 and 15 watts. This higher output means more light and energy are being released, which allows the laser’s beam to target the painful spots that are most difficult to reach. The Class IV LightForce laser’s level of versatility is unrivaled by Class I, II, and III lasers due to its ability to treat both superficial and deep tissue conditions. Due to its penetrating reach, our Class IV laser can help treat sciatica, back pain, arthritis, bursitis, and several other conditions. It is also widely known for its ability to promote healing of the tissue area. This means that your bones, muscles, and ligaments can benefit from this impressive method as well. The therapists here at The Physical Therapy Doctor do their best to provide you with the most beneficial and effective results, and they fully believe in the value of deep tissue therapy and the LightForce laser.
