DEEP TISSUE LASER
Laser Therapy for Your Aches and Pains
At Repsher Physical Therapy, our physical therapists regularly use laser therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment, to ease pain, mitigate inflammation, and speed up recovery for our patients.
Laser therapy, also recognized as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, leverages the potency of light energy to stimulate cellular activity and encourage the body’s natural healing process.
Recent evidence-based studies show that laser therapy has substantially reduced pain and improved functionality in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Moreover, laser therapy has proven extremely effective in curbing inflammation and pain in patients with tendinitis.
One of the principal benefits of laser therapy is its capacity to alleviate pain without the need for medications, injections or surgery. Furthermore, it can seamlessly blend into our comprehensive, results-oriented physical therapy plan of care (POC) to maximize your outcomes.
Understanding Laser Therapy and the Conditions It Helps
Laser therapy utilizes low-level light energy to stimulate cellular functions, foster healing, and diminish inflammation and pain. By directing specific wavelengths of light to problem areas, laser therapy boosts the body’s natural healing capacities and restores equilibrium, enabling patients to enjoy lasting relief and an enhanced quality of life.
Patients are chosen for laser therapy based on their unique conditions and medical histories. A comprehensive assessment by our expert physical therapists is essential in determining whether laser therapy is the most appropriate and effective evidence-based treatment option.
