Therapeutic Laser Therapy

Freedom Physical Therapy Services now offers therapeutic laser treatment. This class IV laser is FDA cleared for the treatment of pain and inflammation. During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. Thus, an optimal healing environment is created that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. Therapeutic laser therapy offers patients and our therapists an innovative and effective alternative pain management option to treat acute and chronic conditions.

Laser Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects. Laser therapy is a safe, pain-free treatment that only takes a few minutes per visit. Laser Therapy does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are no side effects or risks that may occur with other forms of treatment. Laser therapy helps you to recover more quickly from injuries and surgery.

How does it work?

Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates their inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds the recovery of the cells.

What is the difference between class III vs class IV lasers?

The stronger units (class IV) are more expensive and can actually soothe and treat the soft tissues up to 7 cm or deeper. Whereas weaker class III lasers only can penetrate 1/2 cm. It doesn’t mean they are not therapeutic, it just takes longer to push the energy into the skin to cause metabolic changes at the cellular level.
