Laser Therapy
Is chronic pain disrupting your daily life? Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) also known as cold laser therapy has shown effectiveness in treating pain and inflammation. Our medical clinic offers this safe, non-invasive pain relief treatment that works by stimulating cellular energy and increasing the presence of growth factors.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a non-surgical technique using light to stimulate healing. An alternative pain relief treatment, deep tissue laser therapy uses different wavelengths of light and power settings, depending on the type of condition being treated. Concentrated beams of light pass through your skin and penetrate deeply into your damaged tissue, promoting healing without side effects and risks of burning the skin.
Advantages of this procedure include:
Non-toxic
Non-invasive
Easily applied
Highly effective
Virtually no side effects
Multiple areas can be treated at a time
Can be used to treat large areas
Does not produce heat like surgical lasers
Laser Treatment
After a physical assessment to diagnose your injury or areas requiring treatment, our doctor designs a treatment plan that may combine laser treatment with other non-surgical pain relief therapies. Treatments are pain-free and completed as a same-day outpatient procedure in our doctor’s office. Your course of treatment depends on the type and severity of your condition.
