Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

What Is the Purpose of Laser Therapy?

​

Laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy (photons) to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. When the light penetrates targeted tissues, it interacts with mitochondria—your cells' energy centers—to boost cellular metabolism. This biological response helps reduce pain, promote tissue repair, and accelerate healing.

Laser therapy is commonly used for both acute and chronic conditions, recovery after physical activity, and as a drug-free alternative for managing pain. It can also help delay the need for certain surgeries and support both pre- and post-surgical healing.

​

What Makes Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Unique?

​

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy reaches deeper layers of tissue than many other treatment methods, allowing for powerful, targeted results. It's effective for a wide range of issues and has very few limitations. Aside from avoiding treatment over the eyes, the uterus during pregnancy, and active cancer sites, laser therapy can be safely used on most parts of the body.

​

Some conditions commonly treated include:

• Arthritis

• Headaches and migraines

• Lower back pain

• Tendinitis

• Strains and sprains

• TMJ/TMD

• Repetitive stress injuries

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Fibromyalgia

• Wound healing, burns, and sores

• Post-operative pain and swelling
  …and many other soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions.

Is Laser Therapy Safe?

​

Yes, laser therapy is considered a safe and effective treatment when administered by trained professionals. Class IV therapy lasers—now categorized under photobiomodulation devices—were cleared by the FDA in 2004 for their ability to safely reduce pain and improve microcirculation.

The main safety precaution involves protecting the eyes from direct laser exposure, which is why certified safety goggles are always worn during treatment. When proper protocols are followed, laser therapy is a reliable, non-invasive option with minimal risk and no downtime.

What Are the Benefits?

​

Research supports a wide range of benefits from Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, including:

• Improved blood circulation

• Reduced inflammation and swelling

• Accelerated wound and tissue healing

• Enhanced nerve function

• Increased collagen and muscle tissue development

• Reduced pain and faster recovery times​

By stimulating energy production at the cellular level, laser therapy helps the body heal more efficiently and feel better, faster.
