Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to trigger a series of events in the body that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism. This can decrease pain and inflammation so the healing process can take place faster. 

Laser therapy is used to treat short and long term conditions as well as post-activity recovery. 

Acute Injuries

For injuries that have just occurred it is particularly effective if it is administered as quickly as possible.

Chronic Conditions

With long term conditions, laser therapy is most commonly used to help persistent pain and inflammation. 

After Activity

To aid in post-activity recovery the laser is used by 250 pro, college, and Olympic sports teams across the United States and many parts of Europe. 

What Does It Feel Like?

Laser therapy treatments is administered directly to skin, as clothing or topical dressings interfere with delivering light to tissues beneath the skin. 

Patients will feel a soothing warmth feeling as the therapy is administered.
