​What does laser therapy have over other forms of therapy?

It does not require the use of drugs or surgery, there are less side effects or risks, and it is quick and convenient. Studies have shown that it is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy.

​

Pain relief is often immediate.

Does it hurt? What does the treatment feel like?

There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally one feels mild, soothing warmth. There is no pain associated during laser applicant. Laser treatment is relaxing and some people even fall asleep. On the other hand, it sometimes occurs that pain can increase or temporarily worsen 12-24 hours after a treatment session. This is because the laser light starts the healing process. This type of pain is particularly likely to arise when the health problems are chronic in their nature. It usually subsides after a few days but can, in rare cases, last longer. This is a normal reaction if it occurs, and will subside.

How long does the treatment take?

The typical course of treatment is 10-minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. 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. 

​

Treatment plans are determined on an individual basis.

How long before results are felt?

You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Not everyone responds to laser therapy and results cannot be guaranteed. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 2 to 4 sessions.

​

Treatments just take a few minutes, however the therapeutic effect continues to sooth and heal long after you leave our office.

Can it be used in conjunction wit other forms of treatment?

Yes, laser therapy is even more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, soft tissue mobilization, electrotherapy, and following surgery.

Is it a cold laser treatment?

No! Our laser is a Class-4 Deep Tissue Laser with much deeper penetrating powder. No cold laser on the market today can come close to the fast-acting therapeutic effects of our Class-4 device. Chronis pain relief and hard-to-fix cases are our specialty. We have many patients who have tried cold laser therapy with  no success and with just ONE Class-4 heat laser treatment they start feeling better.

Are the results long lasting?

Therapeutic Laser Therapy is about healing. It's not about masking or covering up a condition. When you feel better from this therapy, it's because you are better. With that being said, results have been found to be quite long lasting.

How do I know if laser therapy is right for me?

We will evaluate your condition and perform a complete laser therapy examination to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. Call us to schedule your free evaluation and Q&A session. The only way to know is to try a course of therapy.

Can laser therapy be used over medical implants or over metal?

Yes, laser therapy is a light treatment. No heating is involved with the surgical or metal implants. It can be used safely with no side effects. It is extremely effective for post-operative wound healing. Many hip and knee replacement paitents see us for care.

Is it covered by medical insurance?

Some insurance covers the procedure, but no many. Most patients who decide to receive the benefits of laser therapy are sick and tired of being sick and tired, so they choose to seek this effective method of treatment on their own. Price is usually not a consideration when you have been suffering for so long.
