Looking for a therapy that can help your body heal from chronic injuries and relieve pain? Low level laser therapy is changing the way health care practitioners are helping individuals heal from injuries and chronic disease and improve their quality of life. It is no wonder why many sports franchises in the NFL, NBA & NHL are incorporating laser therapy into their pain management programs to accelerate the healing process for their athletes. They already know that low level laser therapy (LLLT) has proven to be very effective for many conditions that have not responded well to other forms of treatment.
HOW LLLT IS USED TO TREAT PAIN
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can provide proven pain relief, usually within 6-10 treatment sessions. This non-invasive procedure, which also is called advanced cold laser therapy, utilizes the latest technology and is FDA-approved for the treatment of many types of chronic and acute pain, including back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries to name a few. Professional athletes utilize laser therapy to aid in reduction of healing time. Laser therapy can be used in combination with other types of pain treatment, such as physical therapy and massage therapy. People worldwide are experiencing the benefits of low level laser therapy by reducing their dependence on pain medications, decreasing or eliminating pain, and returning to a more productive and healthier life.
Light energy from low level lasers penetrates deep into musculoskeletal tissue (e.g., muscles, joints, bones) to:
- Relieve pain
- Reduce swelling and inflammation
- Promote tissue repair and healing
- Improve blood supply (circulation)
- Stimulate the immune system
Other advantages for patients and physicians include shorter treatment times and faster results (i.e., compared to other pain relief procedures) and a high rate of patient satisfaction.
HOW MANY LASER SESSIONS WILL I NEED TO SEE RESULTS?
1. Chronic conditions take longer and might require 8 - 12 treatments. While these are the averages, each person is unique and healing time varies by person and condition. For those with lifelong conditions we are able to get clients on a 1-2 month maintenance schedule.
2. It's not uncommon for patients to feel improvement after their very first treatment. In other cases, especially chronic and tough conditions, you may not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This doesn't mean that it's not working. Why? Because each treatment is cumulative. Results are commonly felt after 3 or 4 sessions. Many clients have had their problems for years and they're overjoyed if they feel better in a few weeks.
3. All conditions are different. As a guideline, most tendonitis cases require six-eight treatments over a two-week period. On the other hand, chronic arthritis knee pain treatment may require more treatments. Maybe as many as 12-15 laser treatments. When results are achieved, an occasional 'booster' once monthly of laser therapy will keep you feeling better and are relaxing, healing, and enjoyable.
4. In many cases, pain and inflammation are improved after the very first treatment. For most conditions, a minimum series of 4 treatments are recommended. We schedule them with no more than 3-5 days in between as the effects of the laser are cumulative. You feel better with each successive treatment.
5. Many clients come back for follow-up booster regularly to ensure proper recovery after intense exercise or for fatiqued and tired muscles.
* Once the your treatment series is completed it is generally recommended to have maintenance treatments monthly or every two months.
FDA APPROVED
Laser therapy has been successfully utilized in Europe, Asia, and Canada for over 40 years. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of low level laser therapy for pain management use in the United States.
