What is laser therapy?
Laser therapy is a pain relief treatment that is non-invasive and non-surgical. Low-level laser (light) therapy, or LLLT, reduces inflammation and edema to promote musculoskeletal healing. Laser therapy is a low-risk and cost-effective treatment that can help address the source of your chronic pain to return you to feeling your best.
How does laser therapy work?
Laser therapy works using a process like photosynthesis in plants. Dr. Stewart will use a handheld laser to trigger a biochemical change within your cells. The laser device generates light in the red to near-infrared region of the light spectrum. These wavelengths can penetrate the skin and tissues to deliver treatment that reduces pain, minimizes inflammation, and repairs tissue.
LLLT consists of applying the laser to the affected area for 30 seconds to several minutes a few times a week over several weeks. The length of time for the treatment will depend on the size of the treatment area and the dose of the laser device.
There is minimal risk to your eyes from this treatment as the laser or LED will have an unfocused or divergent beam. This treatment does not have any known side effects.
