Laser Therapy In Collierville, Germantown, & Hernando
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is also known as photobiomodulation. It entails the use of specific wavelengths of light to generate a photochemical response to help repair damaged or dysfunctional tissue.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy, cleared by the FDA in 2003 and endorsed by prominent organizations like the APTA, WHO, and IASP, operates by stimulating blood supply, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells, and enhancing lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and inflammation. This process boosts ATP production in cells, aiding in their normal function and breaking the pain reflex for immediate relief. Effective for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, Class IV lasers penetrate deep into musculoskeletal tissue, potentially requiring multiple treatments depending on the condition’s severity and duration. Notably, laser therapy is free of known side effects and offers lasting results.

Laser Therapy Results
Laser therapy, utilizing specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, prompts a photochemical response in damaged tissues, increasing vasodilation to enhance oxygen supply, stimulating the lymphatic system to reduce edema and inflammation, and boosting ATP production for cellular energy. This process provides immediate pain relief and accelerates recovery across a range of acute and chronic conditions. Notably effective, improvements can often be seen within 5 to 10 treatments. Approved by the FDA in 2003, Class IV lasers, which can penetrate over 4 inches into tissue, have become a standard treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, with the number of treatments varying by the severity and duration of the condition, ranging from one to ten sessions.
