High Power Laser Therapy has already helped thousands of people get long-term relief without drugs, needles, side effects, pain or surgery. In clinical studies patients receiving Laser Therapy have experienced a significant reduction in pain. There have been worldwide research efforts undertaken to better understand the many therapeutic benefits of Laser Therapy. In fact, a recent review of over 2500 articles in the medical literature indicated that many acute and chronic conditions may be improved or eliminated with therapeutic lasers.
Laser Light Therapy is used by St. Tereiza Physical Therapy & Rehab as an effective treatment for numerous acute and chronic pain. Light therapy is used for soft tissue repair and regeneration. Low-level lasers send cold light through skin layers to soft tissue cells to stimulate blood flow and cell metabolism. The laser light directs biostimulative energy to the body’s injured cells in a specific location where the cells transform this energy into chemical energy, promoting natural healing and pain relief through tissue repair.
St. Tereiza Physical Therapy & Rehab has had great success at treating all of the previously mentioned pains. Laser Light Therapy has shown promising results, and it only takes a couple of sessions to feel the difference!
What is Laser or Light Therapy?
Low-level and LED therapy or “photobiomodulation” is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. The light may be provided by a low-power laser or LED (light-emitting diode).
Has effectiveness been demonstrated scientifically?
Yes. There are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of laser therapy. Among these, more than one hundred rigorously controlled scientific studies document the effectiveness of lasers for many clinical conditions.
