How laser therapy reduces pain

Not into needles? We have options.

Laser therapy is the latest technology I’ve added to the practice because I’ve had many patients ask me for alternative ways to reduce pain. Patients didn’t want to become dependent on pain pills or steroid injections so I had to dig around to find the perfect technology.

To me, the perfect technology is one that offers little to no downtime, minimizes trauma and promotes natural healing rather than scar tissue. Laser therapy was the answer.

Laser therapy uses a light source to induce change at the cellular level, a process called photobiomodulation. Not only does this specific low light energy reduce inflammation through a complicated process within the mitochondria, it also

• reduces scar tissue

• induce analgesia

• improves vascular activity

• increases metabolic activity

• improves nerve function

• accelerates tissue grown & collagen formation

I currently use the Remy Laser which is an FDA cleared Class IV laser that helps reduce pain, inflammation, swelling, and also speeds up healing of diabetic foot ulcers and skin incisions after surgery.

What you can expect from laser therapy is a warm, soothing sensation during treatment that is quick and painless.

If you’re experiencing pain in the lower extremity and are looking for noninvasive options, request an appointment. You’re only a step away from a pain-free life.
