Laser Therapy Q&A

What is laser therapy?

Laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate the repair of soft tissues at a cellular level. Laser energy is also effective at reducing inflammation at its source, relieving chronic pain from musculoskeletal injuries or degenerative diseases.

Sports Chiro & Rehab offers laser therapy in the office to support faster, more efficient healing of soft tissues.

The team uses the advanced Epic T™ diode laser technology by Biolase to optimize treatment outcomes with minimal downtime.

How does laser therapy work?

Epic T diode technology is a 10-watt laser that can provide lasting relief of pain and stiffness in the muscles and joints. The technology is also effective at relaxing muscles to treat spasms.

The advanced laser system delivers light energy into the deep tissues of the body without harming surrounding tissues. Laser energy triggers the body’s natural healing processes to repair damaged tissue at a cellular level.

Epic T diode laser treatments support healing by enhancing blood circulation throughout the body, especially in the treatment area. Laser energy also calms inflammation that compresses nearby tissues and nerves and contributes to stiffness and pain.

During a laser session, the Sports Chiro & Rehab team applies a handheld applicator over the targeted treatment area to deliver the laser energy into damaged tissues. They can also use a no-contact handpiece. The energy penetrates deep into the muscles and other soft tissues within minutes.

When should I consider laser therapy?

Epic T diode laser treatments may be appropriate for you if you have persistent joint or muscle pain from:

Spasms
Arthritis
Bursitis
Sciatica
Tendonitis
Dislocations
Ligament strains
Muscle sprains and tears
Chronic non-healing wounds

In general, 3-5 laser treatments are needed to achieve lasting pain relief. The team discusses the number of sessions you need during your consultation based on the nature of your condition and pain severity.

Results of laser therapy aren’t immediate, although you may feel some pain relief after your initial treatment. As inflammation subsides and soft tissues heal, you should notice a significant decrease in stiffness and pain as you progress through your laser treatment plan.
