Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process in the body called Photobiomodulation. Whoa, thats a big word. Let’s call it PBM.
During PBM, photons enter the tissue and interact with a certain complex (Cytochrome C, for anyone wanting to really nerd out). This interaction triggers a cascade of events that lead to an increased in cellular metabolism, and ultimately decreases pain and accelerates the healing process. It decreases inflammation, increases range of
motion, and significantly reduces the amount of pain in the treatment area, after as little as one treatment!*
Laser therapy is great for many musculoskeletal conditions, some of which include (but not limited to):
- Neck and Back Pain
- Disc herniations
- Tendinitis
- Muscle sprain/strains
- Headaches
- TMJ pain
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
- Shoulder pain
- DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
Although laser therapy does not replace great rehab, it has shown to significantly accelerate the healing process of those nagging injuries. To find out if laser therapy is for you, ask your provider or book a free 15-minute phone consultation today!
*Treatment lengths vary based on the severity of the condition
