1. What is Deep Tissue Therapy Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is a non-invasive approved modality that uses light or photon energy in the infrared spectrum to reduce pain and inflammation. It uses glass roller applicators for deep massage, allowing photon energy to penetrate 8-13 cm into the deep tissue.
2. How does Laser Therapy work?
It causes chemical reactions at the cellular level. Photon energy accelerates the healing process, increases metabolism, and improves circulation at the site of injury, effectively treating acute and chronic pain.
3. Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy right for you?
It is ideal for patients who have not responded to other interventions. Its ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides relief for both simple and complex chronic conditions.
4. What is the difference between Class IV and LLLT/LED Therapy?
Class IV lasers provide 10-1000 times more energy per minute than LLLT or LED. For example, a treatment requiring 3000 joules takes 100 minutes with a 500mW LLLT laser, but only 0.7 minutes with a 60W Class IV laser.
5. What conditions can be treated with this 980nm laser?
It is highly effective for neuropathy, muscle and tendon issues, muscle fasciitis, periarthritis of the shoulder, cervical spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, and rheumatic joint pain.
6. How deep can the laser energy penetrate?
The advanced 980nm diode technology combined with specialized applicators allows the therapeutic photon energy to reach depths of 8 to 13 cm within the tissue.
