Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a treatment technique that uses low-power lasers or light to treat pain, inflammation, and promote tissue repair. The laser light stimulates cellular activity, increasing blood flow, reducing swelling, and accelerating tissue healing. Laser therapy is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and inflammation.
The therapy is non-invasive and typically involves applying the laser light to the affected area for several minutes. It can be used to treat conditions such as back pain, tendonitis, and joint pain, helping to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve mobility. Laser therapy is also effective for reducing swelling and promoting collagen production in damaged tissues.
Laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for reducing pain and inflammation, accelerating healing, and improving function in patients recovering from injury or surgery.
