Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive and effective alternative to drugs and surgery for pain relief and tissue repair. It helps reduce the inflammation, relieve the pain, and speed up the recovery process in a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. The laser delivers photonic light energy to cause change at the cellular level where there may be a dysfunction hindering the recovery process. The light energy is taken up by the cells and used as energy to allow for regeneration by increasing blood flow to area of injury, tissue repair and overall pain reduction.

During the application of laser, you may feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Treatments are painless and fast (usually 5 to 10 min).

Treatment-Laser-Therapy

The results can be immediate, but the most observed results are after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation. It is recommended to have laser therapy as an adjunct to other physiotherapy treatment in your plan of care.

The common musculoskeletal injuries that could be treated by laser therapy are:

  • Tendonitis
  • Shoulder/Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Wrist and hand conditions including arthritis or overuse syndromes
  • Neck and Back pain
  • Ligament and Tendon Tears
  • Muscle Sprains and Strains
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Bursitis
  • Chondromalacia Patella
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Whiplash
  • Arthritis
