Question: What is laser therapy for pain?

Answer: Laser therapy for pain relief is a safe, painless treatment that only takes a few minutes per visit. This type of therapy does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are few side effects or risks if no contraindications exist. 

At The Spine Center, we utilize the most powerful available 60-watt laser therapy, which uses penetrating laser light energy to reach damaged cells and tissues. High power laser therapy can provide relief of minor pain, stiffness and muscle spasm, and temporarily increases local blood circulation. Research shows tissues targeted by high power laser therapy are stimulated to increase production of greater cellular energy which helps to decrease pain, reduce inflammation and scar tissue, increase cell metabolism, improve vascular activity, and accelerate healing. Over several sessions, laser therapy has been known to reduce or eliminate the inflammation causing your pain. 

What to expect from laser therapy 

Laser therapy treatments are administered in 10- or 15-minute sessions. With an acute painful condition such as an injury, the patient will typically see results after one to three treatment sessions. A custom treatment protocol is determined for chronic painful conditions. Despite fast treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up 24 hours after treatment. 

Clinical benefits of laser therapy: 

1. Anti-Inflammation 

2. Pain reduction 

3. Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth: 

4. Improved vascular activity 

5. Increased metabolic activity 

6. Trigger points and acupuncture points 

7. Reduced fibrous tissue formation 

8. Improved nerve function 

9. Immunoregulation: 

10. Faster wound healing
