FEATURED SERVICE: LASER THERAPY
What is Laser Therapy? Laser therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation. Unlike medications, laser therapy reduces pain without undesirable side effects. It is also important to point out that patients report long-lasting pain relief. While the number of treatments required may vary depending on the acuity of the condition, many patients experience lasting relief after only a couple treatments. How Does Laser Therapy Help? When treating acute conditions with laser therapy, it is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. The faster the inflammation is reduced and the healing process can begin, the better. In the case of acute injury, laser
therapy helps restore the body to normal function quicker. What to Expect Laser treatments can be customized for each individual and each situation. Depending on the condition, whether it is an acute swollen ankle or chronic low back pain, the therapist will set the laser up for your condition to treat the pain and inflammation along with improving cellular function to maximize the benefits. Depending on the laser, it can create little to no sensation or it can create a gentle, soothing warmth. Safety + Efficacy Medical lasersareclearedbytheFDAandadhere to strict ISO standards in order to provide you
with the safest non-invasive treatment option on the market. Our lasers work by flooding the tissue with photons, which energizes cells resulting in increased circulation to the injured area and ultimately pain reduction. Laser therapy allows your body to utilize it’s own healing powers by inducing a series of healing responses in your body. During treatment you will feel a soothing warmth that identifies the beginning of an 18-24 hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation.
