WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM LASER THERAPY? Despite what it might sound like, laser therapy isn’t painful. At most, patients who undergo this type of therapy will experience a soothing warmth as the energy from the lasers cause a reaction in damaged cells. The appointments themselves are very quick and straightforward, only taking around 5–10 minutes. While you might not feel the results immediately, you definitely feel improvement in the affected area after 3–5 sessions. WHAT KINDS OF INJURIES DOES LASER THERAPY WORK FOR? Laser Therapy can treat pain and inflammation associated with a number of different injuries, including sprains and strains, tendonitis and tendonosis, sports injuries, post surgical wounds, and more. It’s the perfect treatment option for anyone who’s tried other noninvasive methods to no avail.
