For the past 20 years, Low-Level Laser therapy has gained worldwide recognition by experts for its ability to reduce pain and enhance healing without drugs or invasive surgery. The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy which promotes damaged cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state. Our laser equipment is FDA approved, non-invasive, side effect and pain-free, expedites faster recovery, and relieves pain without potentially harmful drugs.
We use state-of-the-art Erchonia lasers in our clinic. Erchonia is the leading low-level laser company in the country, holding 21 of the 23 low-level laser patents. Low-level laser treatment is kind of like photosynthesis for your body. We utilize pure light at specific wavelengths and pulses to treat a variety of conditions. Our lasers are very effective at reducing pain and inflammation as well as enhancing athletic performance and speeding up the healing process. The laser stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to increase ATP production which in turn causes a reduction of inflammation, pain and tightness but most importantly, it promotes faster healing of the injured or involved body tissue.
The treatment time for the low-level laser therapy differ based upon your condition - whether it's acute or chronic, but the treatment time usually takes about 5-10 minutes on average. There is no associated pain or discomfort with the application, although some patients have felt a warm or tingling sensation during the treatment. Following your laser treatment, it's imperative you drink a lot of water to help flush out the toxins that have been removed from the cell during the process as a part of your healing process. You can expect to carry on with your normal activities following a laser treatment.
Different conditions might vary in their response to low-level laser therapy but the majority of conditions respond in 2-12 sessions. During your consultation with the doctor, the length of treatment for your specific condition will be discussed.
No. This name is only used to differentiate between the commonly used lasers, which are normally high intensity and generate heat to cut or make incisions, and low-level laser therapy, which is low intensity and does not cut or generate heat but instead causes accelerated tissue healing and pain or inflammation reduction.
Unfortunately, most insurance companies haven't started paying for this therapy yet, but the good news is that low-level laser therapy is quite affordable and is significantly less expensive when compared to other common laser therapies. We offer no charge consultations to discuss your condition and if laser therapy would be beneficial for you.
