Laser Therapy
Laser therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment used in physiotherapy to accelerate healing and reduce pain.
It involves the application of a focused beam of light to the affected area.
Here’s how laser therapy works in physiotherapy:
- Pain Relief: The laser stimulates specific points on the skin, which can help to block pain signals and reduce discomfort.
- Inflammation Reduction: Laser therapy can help to reduce inflammation, swelling, and tissue damage, promoting faster healing.
- Improved Blood Circulation: The treatment can enhance blood flow to the injured area, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to support healing.
- Cellular Regeneration: Laser therapy can stimulate cellular activity, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
- Reduced Muscle Tension: By reducing pain and inflammation, laser therapy can help to relax tight muscles and improve range of motion.
Common conditions treated with laser therapy include:
- $Arthritis
- $Tendinitis
- $Bursitis
- $Chronic pain
- $Neuropathy
- $Sports injuries
A qualified physiotherapist can determine if laser therapy is appropriate for your specific condition. They can assess your needs and tailor the treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
