OVERVIEW
This technique uses laser light to promote the healing of injured tissues. It may be used to replace invasive procedures such as injections and surgery. In some cases, it may reduce the need for physical therapy.

THERAPY
Some techniques call for use of a hand-held device. Others use an arm-mounted device. Both shine a special laser at a frequency that penetrates deeply through the skin.

HOW IT WORKS
The laser is painless, producing no heat or discomfort. The therapy is thought to stimulate the body to restore normal cellular function to damaged tissues beneath the skin. It reduces inflammation and aids the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
