Who Uses Laser Therapy

Contrary to what many patients may think, laser therapy is not limited to a specific injury or a particular age group. It can be used to treat the everyday patient recovering from a surgery injury to the athlete who may have suffered an injury during a game.

Laser therapy in Miami can be used for joints, muscles, and bones, and when used in conjunction with physical therapy in Miami, can speed up the healing process significantly.

How Does Laser Therapy Work

When you think if that image of the little red dot, there is often smoke, indicating that heat is being used to cut through the medal. When it comes to laser therapy for rehab, the technique is the opposite, called “cold laser therapy.”

The cold laser therapy is used to aid in pain relief because the cells in the human body can convert the laser to energy. That energy is then used in the healing and pain relief process… something that wouldn’t happen without the aid of the laser. Because the healing process progresses faster, patients often see reduced scarring, increased blood flow, and reduced inflammation.

All of the above also means another benefit that is a welcome relief for the patients at Physical Therapy Now: reduced or complete elimination of medication.

In addition to the healing of injuries, laser therapy can also be used to treat a variety of other conditions, such as chronic pain, arthritis, neck and back pain, tendonitis, and much more.
