PHYSICAL THERAPY
RESTORE FUNCTION
Treating musculoskeletal pain.
Treating pain, while setting up patients for optimal tissue healing, is paramount to most plans of care.
Class IV laser therapy, via photobiomodulation, has been shown to quickly reduce pain and help injured tissue move through the stages of healing by stimulating mitochondrial activity. It is a powerful tool that can be used within a comprehensive plan of care to help treat many diagnoses common to physical therapy practices. As a cash-based modality, a well-run laser therapy program will not only improve patient outcomes, it can significantly improve clinic income.
CLINICALLY USED FOR:
- Joint swelling
- Muscle strain/ pain
- Tendinopathy
- Myofascial pain
- OA related pain
- Neck and back pain (chronic and acute)
- Neuropathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon pathology
- DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
- Headaches
- TMJ pain
- Lymphedema
BETTER OUTCOMES FOR YOUR PATIENTS
"Our outcomes have significantly improved since using Deep Tissue Laser Therapy. We get a better result sooner- meaning that patients feel better faster. I think they like it, so they come in more often, and they ask for it.”
