How it can help you
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy uses a continuous wave and frequency of pulsations to produce a biostimulative effect on deep tissues and relieve pain. Patients will likely feel a slight warmth followed by relaxation of the muscles during treatment. Those who undergo laser therapy will benefit from improved range of motion, reduced pain, greater mobility, and accelerated healing.
Treat pain caused by the following:
Tendonitis
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
