What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy offers a solution to chronic, daily knee pain without the need for injections, painkillers, or missing out on your favorite activities. This treatment utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to achieve a therapeutic effect in the body, including increased circulation, reduced swelling, pain relief, and enhanced tissue repair. Widely used by medical professionals in Europe since the 1970s, laser therapy gained U.S. FDA approval in 2002.

The benefits of laser therapy are manifold. Its painless application delivers laser energy that promotes increased circulation, drawing oxygen and nutrients to targeted body areas. This facilitates an optimal healing environment, reducing inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the affected area returns to normal, pain diminishes and normal function is restored.

Our FAQ's

Does laser therapy hurt? What does the treatment feel like?

There is little or no sensation during your laser therapy treatment. Occasionally, you may feel a mild, soothing warmth or tingling sensation. Areas of pain or inflammation may briefly feel sensitive before the pain reduction.
Are there side effects or associated risks?

During over 20 years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, because the healing response is more active following the treatment.
How many treatments will it take?

The number of visits depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions, 4-6 treatments may be enough. Some conditions of a more chronic nature may require 6-12 treatments, or even more. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic treatments to control the pain.
How long will it be before I feel the results?

You may feel improvement in your condition, usually with a reduction of the pain, after the first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel any improvement after multiple treatments, but this does not mean your condition isn't improving. Each treatment is cumulative and the results are often felt after three or four sessions.
