Low-Level Laser Pain Therapy (Phototherapy)Laser therapy is an effective treatment for pain, inflammation, and a wide variety of conditions that benefit from soft tissue healing. Conditions that can be treated include:
• Chronic or acute neck pain
• Chronic or acute soft tissue injury
• Muscle and joint aches, pains, and stiffness
• Disc injuries
• Tight or irritated muscles and trigger points
• Minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and bone spurs
• Neuralgia (nerve pain), bursitis, tendonitis, sprain, strain, plantar fasciitis, and contusions
During laser therapy, light energy is absorbed by small molecules within the cells and converted into biochemical energy in the treated tissue. This initiates beneficial physiological responses. With repeated treatments, the health of the injured area improves.
