LASER THERAPY

What is Laser Therapy?

Low-Level-Laser Therapy for pain management

Laser Therapy or, to give it the full title, Low-Level-Laser Therapy (LLLT) is clinically used to;

• Reduce Pain
• Bring down Swelling
• Reduce Inflammation
• Enhance tissue Repair

The particular equipment I use in the clinic is the Super Pulse Laser, this type of laser technology is especially effective at penetrating damaged and/or painful tissue to quickly bring down pain and speed up repair.

How does it work?

LLLT involves the application of light photons onto injured area, with a view to block pain and promote the body’s natural healing processes. LLLT reduces inflammation and encourages cell reproduction, provides pain relief and assist in treating the deeper cause of the pain. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s specific injury – the laser wavelengths are adjusted depending on the type of injury being treated and how deep the laser light needs to penetrate.

Without getting excessively technical, LLLT is essentially a form of penetrating light that stimulates cells in our bodies that are functioning below par, thus speeding up repair from injury and pain. This effect is well-known for Laser Therapy in skin treatment but, depending on the type of equipment used, Laser does this for injuries that are much more than skin-deep too.

Low level laser therapy is an effective, painless alternative to traditional treatments for injuries.
