All About Medical Laser Therapy

An effective solution for your pain!

The term “laser” stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Medical laser therapy is a form of medical treatment using focused light. Medical laser therapy is extremely powerful. It has been proven to reduce pain and inflammation, promote nerve regeneration, relax muscles, and improve the immune system. It has also been found to bio-stimulate tissue growth, repair, and cellular regeneration in a process that is known as photobiomodulation (light-causing cellular response).


Laser therapy is
FDA-approved. Unlike ordinary light, laser light is a specific concentrated wavelength that targets an area of the body. Laser therapy minimizes pain and inflammation as an alternative to prescriptions and surgery. Medical laser therapy can help people with painful conditions such as arthritis, sports injuries, inflammation, and more.


Additional conditions that can be treated with medical laser therapy are below:

  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Elbow tendonitis
  • TMJ dysfunction
  • Shoulder tendonitis/bursitis
  • Sprains and strains
  • Cuts and abrasions
  • Post-surgical wound healing


Does it hurt?

The medical laser therapy provided at Back 2 Health Chiropractic Center does not hurt. Instead, it produces a soothing and warm sensation on the skin during application.


How does it work?

It completes photobiomodulation by increasing blood flow (vasodilation and angiogenesis), drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged tissues. It also stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce ample amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is utilized for cellular energy.


What can I expect?

The result is supercharging your body’s natural healing response on a cellular level, leading to a reduction and frequently complete resolution of your pain and symptoms. This therapy does not only dramatically improve and reduce your healing time, but it can also stimulate your body to heal conditions that were previously considered untreatable, like peripheral neuropathy.

Treatments can range from just a few minutes to 40 minutes per session depending upon the condition and area being treated. Regardless of treatment time, the therapeutic effects of the Summus Horizon Class IV medical laser treatment continue to improve long after you’ve left our office.
