LASER Therapy Treatment
LASER – What is it?
LASER stands for (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). For therapeutic applications, typically, a low-level of LASER is applied. This process includes sending medical-grade cold light through skin layers down to soft tissue cells, using safe, calibrated, and clinically-precise equipment. This process stimulates blood flow, increases cell metabolism, and thereby accelerates soft tissue repair and regeneration. LASER Therapy has gained significant popularity in recent times as a successful treatment approach in the management of many localized painful musculoskeletal conditions. Laser therapy can be used on patients of all ages, and has no known side effects.
