Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and speed up tissue healing.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy in physiotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light (often low-level laser or cold laser) to stimulate healing in tissues. The laser penetrates the skin and interacts with cells to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate the repair of muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
It’s commonly used to treat acute and chronic injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, sprains, and back or neck pain. The treatment is painless, quick, and typically used alongside other physiotherapy methods to enhance recovery.
What to Expect
Benefits and Uses
Laser therapy is performed by a trained physiotherapist using a handheld device that emits low-level laser light. The therapist places the device directly over the injured or painful area, allowing the light to penetrate the skin and reach the targeted tissues. The laser stimulates cellular activity, which helps reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and promote faster tissue repair.
The treatment is painless and typically takes just a few minutes per session, depending on the size and severity of the area being treated. Patients usually feel a gentle warmth or no sensation at all during the process. Multiple sessions may be recommended for best results, and laser therapy is often combined with other physiotherapy techniques for comprehensive care.
