Class 3b Therapeutic Laser

Laser is a valuable electrotherapy modality that can be used for multiple reasons:

1) Pain relief

Laser interrupts nerve communication, blocking pain signals from travelling to the brain. This makes it useful for providing pain relief to osteoarthritic areas.

2) Wound healing

Laser helps kickstart the body’s natural healing process by travelling deep within cells and removing blockages that prevent the cell from respiring. This allows for normal cell metabolism to resume and healing to speed up.

3) Reducing trigger points

Possibly our favourite way of using laser, we like to apply laser to trigger points before treating them manually. This begins to increase blood flow to the area, relaxing the tissues and reducing pain, allowing us to get deeper with our manual techniques and provide more effective overall treatment.
