Laser therapy for the treatment of pain and inflammation is something relatively new to most patients, so it’s natural they would have many questions. One of the important things to remember about it is that it’s a completely non-invasive form of treatment and that it doesn’t require any kind of recovery period.
A laser therapy session typically lasts just a few minutes, and most patients start feeling better after just one session. Treating chronic or severe pain, however, will likely take several sessions, but even after your first session, you should begin noticing the benefits.
Frequently asked questions
One of the most asked questions about laser treatment is – how does it work? As you might expect, there’s a highly scientific reason for its success. Laser therapy emits light waves at specific wavelengths at a problem area of your body. Those light waves penetrate the skin and delve deep into tissue that has become painful and or inflamed. The stimulation from the light waves causes a serious influx of new oxygen and blood, which immediately accelerates the healing process, and rushes nutrients to tissue that has been damaged.
Another question often asked is – is the process painful? The answer to that is a definite no. While some types of lasers are capable of burning through metal, the type of laser used in pain treatment only penetrates your skin to reach damaged tissue. Most patients report feeling little or nothing when being treated, although some have said they felt a slight tingling sensation.
