Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM, photons enter the tissue and trigger a series of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain and inflammation and accelerate the healing process.
Laser therapy is used to treat acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery. When treating acute conditions with laser therapy it is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. With chronic conditions, laser therapy is used most often to help combat persistent pain and inflammation.

With LightForce® lasers, treatments are quick, usually 4-7 minutes, depending on the size, depth, and chronicity of the condition being treated. High-power lasers are able to deliver a lot of energy in a small amount of time, allowing therapeutic dosages to be achieved quickly.
Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as clothing or topical dressings interfere with delivering light to tissues beneath the skin. Patients may feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy packages can also be used for Radial Pressure Treatment (RPT). Talk to your therapist to learn if RTP is an option for you!
