Laser therapy is a procedure that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation, or PBM. During PBM, photons enter the tissue and trigger a biological cascade of events that leads to:

• increased tissue healing
  
• decrease in pain
• reduction in muscle spasm
• improved microcirculation to injured tissue.
• reduced recovery time

This treatment is FDA-cleared and provides patients a non-invasive, non-pharmacological alternative for pain relief.

Treatment frequency and time depend on the condition

• Most laser therapy plans of care will involve 5-12 treatments, with more treatment needed for chronic conditions. and fewer for acute complaints.
• Laser therapy is cumulative as each visit builds upon the last. Patients typically report significant improvement after just two weeks.
• Laser therapy can be a stand-alone therapy or part of a treatment plan utilizing chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue mobilization and stretching and exercise therapy.
• Patient can continue to see other providers or therapist while being treated with laser therapy.
• Initially moderate to severe or chronic conditions call for laser therapy to be performed for three days in a row and then every other day. Acute or mild complaints may only require one to three treatments.
  
• The fees for laser therapy range from $80 to $100 per treatment depending on the units required ( most conditions respond to one unit) and allowances are made for multi-visit packages.
  
• Payment options are available to assure care can be given properly without causing an economic burden.
