Laser Therapy

Our Class 4 therapy laser helps promote healing and relieve pain via photobiomodulation, a process where high frequency light interacts with cells to cause biochemical reactions. Laser therapy results in increased blood flow, decreased inflammation, muscle healing, as well as endorphin release when used to treat the pain of chronic arthritis, tendon, and ligament injuries.

Laser therapy treatments are quick and painless, making them easily tolerated by most patients. The treatment area does not require clipping or shaving.
