Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries or wounds to improve soft tissue healing and relieve both acute and chronic pain. Medex lasers use light energy to direct bio-simulative light energy to the body’s cells without injuring or damaging them.

This therapy is precise and accurate, offering safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. This increase in energy levels helps the cells to function properly and improve your body’s healing capabilities. As a result, your body is able to heal itself in a shorter period of time.

Some of the unique healing effects of laser therapy include:

  • Increased cell metabolism

  • Improved localized blood circulation

  • Development of collagen and muscle tissue

  • Relief from acute and chronic pain

  • Reduced localized inflammation and swelling

  • Stimulation for wound healing and tissue repair

  • Stimulation of the immune system

  • Stimulation of nerve function

The Advantages of Low-Level Laser Therapy:

  • Non-invasive

  • Non-toxic

  • Easily applied

  • Highly effective

  • No known negative side effects

Research demonstrates that laser therapy can be used to effectively treat many conditions including:

  • Chronic and acute pain reduction

  • Soft tissue injuries

  • Skin injuries and irritations

  • Healing diabetic foot ulcers

  • Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis injuries

  • Bursitis, swelling, bruising

  • Post surgical healing of scars, incision site and pain, swelling, bruising

  • Muscle strains, tendon or ligament tears

  • Sprains of the ankle and other places

  • Foot pain (metatarsalgia, etc.)

  • Plantar fasciitis – heel spurs

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Muscle spasms or tension

Before starting treatment, you should be properly assessed to determine whether or not laser therapy is the best way to deal with your specific problem.
