Laser Therapy


Laser therapy is one of the modalities your physical therapist may use to treat a variety of conditions, such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and wounds. Laser therapy applies focused beams of light directly to the affected area to stimulate your body’s natural healing process to reduce pain and inflammation. Laser therapy is either hot or cold, depending on the intensity and wavelength of the light. Hot laser therapy produces heat and penetrates deeper into the tissues, while cold laser therapy produces no heat and provides more superficial therapy.

The physical therapists at FYZICAL Fort Ben will perform a thorough assessment of your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan that may include laser therapy. If your treatment plan includes laser therapy, your physical therapist will determine the appropriate type of laser, as well as the treatment duration and frequency, to help you achieve optimal treatment results.
