Laser Therapy Can Play A Vital Role In Your Recovery
Medicine and how we treat the body is continually changing. Class IV (high power) Laser Therapy is one of these revolutionary advancements providing more rapid pain relief and tissue repair. This treatment is safe, comfortable and highly effective in helping your body to heal. We've had remarkable success stories ranging from people getting relief from nerve pain so they can sleep at night, to being able to resume walking and going up and down stairs because their arthritic knees don't bother them anymore!

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Therapeutic lasers are able to transmit energy below the skin level to the underlying tissue without harming the tissue it passes through. The light energy reacts in the body by creating physiological changes within the cells– a process called photobiomodulation. The results include pain reduction, decreased inflammation, increased blood circulation and reduced healing time.
What to Expect
Treatment is targeted to the area identified during your assessment.
A handheld laser device is applied over the treatment area for a short period of time. Treatment settings vary depending on the condition, tissue depth and type of laser being used.
Most people feel little or no discomfort during treatment.
