Laser Therapy
Why Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is recognized as a safe and effective treatment modality with a proven track record for a wide variety of conditions and is being utilized by a growing number of health care practitioners. We utilize the Summus Medial Laser class 4 laser which effectively delivers pain management, inflammation reduction and enhances injury healing without the use of drugs, and has virtually no side effects. Extensive scientific and clinical research demonstrates that laser therapy delivers pain relief and enhanced injury healing. During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment, that reduces inflammation swelling muscle spasms stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, the function is restored and pain is relieved.
FAQ
Here are common patient questions and their answers in an easy to use FAQ:
What is Laser therapy?
“It’s an FDA-cleared therapeutic treatment that manages pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue
regeneration.”
How does it work?
“Laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an
optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain.”
Why do you use it?
“We’ve added Laser therapy to our practice because we want to provide an effective and safe treatment option for
our patients to heal quickly, recover fully and reduce pain effectively.”
What does a treatment feel like?
There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally, the patient feels mild, soothing warmth, or tingling
sensations. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.
Are there any side effects?
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever
been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days as the healing
response is more active after treatment.
How often should I receive laser therapy?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic
problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once every week or two as
improvement is seen.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 4 to 6 treatments may be
sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 6 to 12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe
arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
How long before I feel results?
You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you
will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each
treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
