Laser therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses focused light energy to stimulate healing in injured or damaged tissues. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, tendonitis, and sprains.
During a laser therapy session, a therapist will apply a handheld device to the affected area of the body. The device delivers a low-level laser beam to the tissue, which stimulates cellular activity and promotes the formation of new cells. This increased cell activity helps to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and alleviate pain.
Laser therapy is typically performed as a series of sessions, with each session lasting between 5-20 minutes. Most patients experience no discomfort during the treatment, although some may feel a mild warming sensation in the treated area.
Overall, laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for many musculoskeletal conditions. It is non-invasive, has few side effects, and can help patients avoid more invasive treatments like surgery or corticosteroid injections. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, and patients should speak to their healthcare provider to determine if it is right for them.
