JKH Healthcare strive to be world class and incorporate the best treatments we can to make you feel like new. The use of medical therapeutic lasers is a big part of the future in medicine. Laser therapy can be used to accelerate healing as well as treat injuries and disease using small amounts of light.
Treatment is painless and there are no significant side effects.
Low Level Laser Therapy is not a painkiller. Painkillers do nothing to address the underlying cause of the pain and simply leave the problem to persist or worsen. Low Level Laser Therapy reduces pain because it addresses the cause of the pain, whether that be healing, repair or regeneration.
Steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs suppress normal body processes and simply reduce inflammation and swelling. Low Level Laser Therapy stimulates healing and repair.
The effects will last for various amounts of time depending on the person. For some people, a short course of treatment will be enough to cure the pain, provided you do not reinjure the area in the same way.
Rehabilitation and altering function of muscles to stop longer term overuse will prevent future injuries while laser will reduce inflammation and let you go about activities.
People tend to feel an improvement after the first session but better results are experienced after 2 to 3 sessions.
Regardless of doing multiple laser sessions we would want to assess you over a period of time to monitor changes and get appropriate rehabilitation to prevent recurrence of injury and pain.
