Lightforce Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is quickly becoming recognized as a painless, non-invasive, drug-free, and highly effective form of treatment. The FDA regulates different lasers for medical use. They can be used surgically, or therapeutically to treat a variety of conditions.

Clinicians are using laser therapy more than ever. Having a lower power density than regular surgical lasers, therapy class IV lasers, are FDA approved for the relief of minor muscle and joint pain. Many patients have experienced first-hand the benefits of laser therapy. Using a process called photobiomodulation, photons enter the tissue and interact with the cytochrome c complex within the mitochondria, this interaction triggers a cascade of biological events which increase cellular metabolism and decrease pain and inflammation.

Many patients and practitioners like it because of the ability to provide long-lasting relief without side-effects. While some may be hesitant or fear the pain of the laser, there is really nothing worry about. Treatment is fast and most experience little to no sensation, at most a gentle soothing warmth. The laser therapy sessions themselves are usually only 5-10 minutes depending on the injury, and relief is sometimes instantaneous.

Therapeutic lasers can be used with great success to treat post-surgically, or after an injury. They can be used in combination with other physical therapy treatments to help you recover faster.
