What is High Intensity Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy is a well-researched and proven therapy that helps with pain relief, inflammation reduction and tissue repair.

Many Live With Pain

An estimated 50+million Americans live with chronic pain caused by disease, disorder or accident.

Pain is one of the top health problems in the United States.
Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.
Pain is cited as the most common reason Americans access the health care system. It is a leading cause of disability and it is a major contributor to health care costs.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (2006), approximately 76.2 million, one in every four Americans, have suffered from pain that lasts longer than 24 hours and millions more suffer from acute pain.
Chronic pain is the most common cause of long-term disability.

The most common types of pain include arthritis, lower back pain, joint pain, muscle pain and fibromyalgia. Studies have indicated 36+ million Americans missed work due to pain in the past year and 83+ million indicated the pain affected their participation in various activities.

Many conditions show signs of improvement with the very first or second treatments.

PATIENT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is laser therapy used for?

Laser therapy has photobiomodulation beneficial effects for relieving pain, resolving inflammation and increasing the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair. It has also been shown to stimulate the immune system, resolve infection and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue.

Laser therapy is also effective in increasing collagen production, bone repair, reducing edema, increasing lymphatic drainage, and increasing production of capillary beds.
How does laser therapy work?

Lasers work, as an example, by increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis in the mitochondria, activating the electron transport system, and many other biochemical and biophysical reactions in tissues and organs.
How many treats will need to be administered?

The number of treatments varies based upon conditions. Generally, 5-6 treatments are needed in a treatment cycle to achieve the best result. More than one treatment cycle may be necessary.
What does it feel like?

Patients feel a warm sensation while they are receiving laser therapy.
How long will the relief last?

Results vary with each patient. However, in our experience results last for 3-4 days after the first treatment. The period of pain relief increases as more treatments are performed.
How Long will the treatment take?

Depending on the condition, acute or chronic the non-invasive procedure will last between 5 and 20 minutes based on the area size, depth of penetration needed and structures involved.
When can normal activity resume?

The moment you leave the treatment room patients may resume normal daily activities. Its important to not over exert yourself and create additional damage since you will feel much better.
Do patients get immediate relief?

We have seen that many patients get immediate relief from their first treatment.
Can a laser be used on patients with metal implants?

Yes
Will the patient’s range of motion increase?

Often, from the first treatment the range of motion will increase.
Does it hurt?

No
What are the contraindications?

Contraindications include the following: direct laser exposure over the eyes; directly over a gravid uterus; directly over a known cancerous tumor, and directly over thyroid tissue.
