Pain Treatment That Works

Advanced Pain Relief Now Available

Our practice is among the first in the area to invest in a Deep Tissue Therapy Laser from LiteCure Medical.

Drug-free, pain relief is the goal for individuals suffering from acute or chronic pain. Now we can offer you a non-surgical option that truly has the power to eliminate or significantly reduce your pain. Five to ten brief treatments with this powerful laser is all it takes to realize life-changing results. The Deep Tissue Therapy Lasers work by flooding the tissues with photons, energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. This produces a cascade of healing responses in your body, reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating your pain. Treatments take just a few minutes, however, the therapeutic effect continues to soothe and heal long after you leave the office.

The Sicence

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM,  photons enter the tissue and trigger a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain and inflammation and accelerate the healing process.

The Treatment

Laser therapy is used to treat acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery. When treating acute conditions with laser therapy, it is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. With chronic conditions, laser therapy is used most often to help combat persistent pain and inflammation. To aid in post-activity recovery,  Class IV Laser Therapy are used by pro, college and Olympic sports teams nationwide and in many parts of Europe and East Asia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it feel like?

Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as clothing or topical dressings interfere with delivering light to tissues beneath the skin. Patients will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.

How long do treatments last?

Treatments are quick, usually 4-7 minutes, depending on the size depth and chronicity of the condition being treated. High-power lasers are able to deliver a log of energy in a small amount of time, allowing therapeutic dosages to be achieved quickly.

How many treatments will I need?

Patients generally see results in 3 to 5 treatments. Clinicians will develop specific plans of care based on diagnosis and the tissues that are involved. Chronic conditions often require more therapy than acute.
