FAQ:
What is Deep Tissue Therapy Laser Therapy?Laser Therapy is a non-invasive approved modality that uses light or photon energy in the infrared spectrum to reduce pain and inflammation. It is called "deep tissue" laser therapy because it has the capability of using glass roller applicators that allow us to provide deep massage in combination with the laser thus allowing for deep penetration of the photon energy. The effect of the laser can penetrate 8-13 cm into the deep tissue!
How does Laser Therapy work?
Laser therapy causes chemical reactions at the cellular level. The photon energy accelerates the healing process, increases metabolism and improves circulation at the site of injury. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of acute pain and injury, inflammation, chronic pain and post-operative conditions. It has been shown to accelerate the healing of damaged nerves, tendons and muscle tissue.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy right for you?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become preferred by patients who have not responded to other interventions. Its ability to impact
pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for not only only simple conditions but chronic and complex conditions as well.
What the difference between Class IV and LLLT,LED Therapy teratment?
Compared with other LLLT laser and LED therapy machines(maybe only 5-500mw),Class IV lasers can give 10 - 1000 times the energy per minute that a LLLT or LED can. This equates into shorter treatment times and faster healing and tissue regeneration for the patient. As an example, treatment times are determined by joules of energy into the area being treated. An area you want to treat needs 3000 joules of energy to be therapeutic. A LLLT laser of 500mW would take 100 minutes of treatment time to give the necessary treatment energy into the tissue to be therapeutic. A 60 watt Class IV laser only needs 0.7 minutes to deliver the 3000 joules of energy.
