Benefits of Laser Therapy for Pain Management
Treatment with a low-level laser is an option for numerous conditions that have gained popularity in recent years, as it can aid in both pain management and healing. At Grandview Physiotherapy, we recognize the desire to provide treatments that are on the cutting edge of our profession and with a proven ability to relieve pain and enhance your quality of life. Here is a more in-depth look at how laser therapy can help manage your pain:
Non-Invasive Treatment: Laser therapy provides non-invasive relief from pain for your pets, eliminating the need for drugs or surgery. It utilizes low-level lasers to treat surface tissue without damaging it, making it a safe and gentle option for patients seeking pain relief.
Pain Management: The most common reason patients opt for laser therapy is its ability to alleviate pain. When the laser light comes into contact with unhealthy cells, it causes cellular activity and triggers the release of endorphins – your body’s natural painkillers. This may help reduce pain by reducing inflammation.
Lighter Healing Time: Laser therapy reduces healing time by increasing tissue repair and enhancing blood flow to the injured site. This expedited healing can have a positive impact on patients recovering from acute injuries, chronic conditions, or post-surgical recovery.
Anti-Inflammation: Most musculoskeletal disorders involve pain and inflammation as symptoms. The Laser light targets the immune system, which then helps reduce pain from inflammation and speeds up healing time.
Improved Joint Mobility: Individuals with joint issues or reduced flexibility are often limited in their range of motion. Patients can move more freely and perform better when joint pain and inflammation are reduced, as flexibility and range of motion improve with laser therapy.
Low Incidence of Side Effects: Laser therapy is associated with a very low incidence of side effects, unlike many medications or surgical treatments. Patients may experience some warmth during the treatment, but no recovery or downtime is required.
Individualized treatment plans: We customize laser therapy treatment plans to suit the unique needs of our patients at Grandview Physiotherapy. Whether you are an athlete recovering from a sports injury, a person living with arthritis with knee or hip pain, or someone who was recently operated on, laser therapy can be tailored to add another helpful dimension to your treatment plan.
Durable Effects: The majority of patients who complete a series of laser treatments experience long-term relief from pain and enhanced function. Laser therapy delivers lasting relief from chronic pain and inflammation associated with certain conditions by modulating the immune response, increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines & transforming growth factor.
Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment for reducing pain & inflammation, as well as speeding up healing. Our purpose at Grandview Physiotherapy is to make a real difference in our patients’ lives by providing holistic care. If you’re healing from an injury or dealing with chronic pain, add laser therapy to your custom treatment plan.
