The name LASER is made from an acronym. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It is a very pure form of light energy, of a single wavelength. Laser light therapy works by penetrating the laser light deeply into the skin, which stimulates cellular activity, helps to reduce inflammation, repairs tissue and accelerate the healing process.
The treatment involves the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries. Laser and LED beams of light are used to stimulate the cells in the body that repair tissue, reduce inflammation and reduce pain. It is a highly effective treatment for acute soft tissue injuries and chronic pain.
Laser therapy has been proven to be remarkably safe, painless and effective in treating both acute injuries and chronic pain of various kinds. It has been particularly helpful in stubborn and persistent conditions, such as chronic neck and back pain, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis and other joint and muscle pains. The treatments are pain free, non invasive and there is no recovery time. The treatment time is any where from 10 – 20 minutes, with the majority of patients feeling nothing during the treatment; with a small percentage of our patients feeling a slight tingling or warmth.
The benefits of laser therapy include:
- Decreased inflammation & decreased pain
- Increased blood flow to the injured site
- Minimized formation of scar tissue & growth of new, healthy tissues
- Speeds up recovery time
The results will depend on the individual’s over all health and condition and the length of time that the condition has existed. Please contact one of our knowledgeable practitioners to find out more information on Cold Laser Therapy used in Health Care Victoria.
