The use of laser therapy in physical therapy clinics has been growing exponentially over the past decade. Low-level laser therapy is clinically called LLLT. LLLT is FDA approved, safe and extremely effective for pain relief and when used as an adjunct to classical physical therapy methods when applied correctly.

LLLT is a unique technology because, unlike other methods on the market such as therapeutic ultrasound, the laser emitted passes 2 inches to 3 inches through the skin. This is possible because the laser’s wavelength is between 820 nm to 840 nm, where lesser wavelengths would simply absorb/stop at the skin’s surface. Essentially, laser therapy works in two ways; the treatment decreases edema and increases angiogenesis, or the creation of new capillaries, at the microcapillary bed. After the human body suffers an injury, laser therapy can decrease swelling and increase the healing rate by 50% to 60%.

To date, laser therapy has been featured on shows and networks such as The Doctors, Dr. Oz, CNN, NBC and numerous other media outlets. The increasing popularity of this treatment is due to its demonstrated effectiveness in the doctor’s office. Media reports and patients consistently calling their insurance companies demanding this treatment be covered by insurance has also increased the visibility of this technology.

People often ask me “How many treatments are required?” and the answer depends on a few factors. Most importantly, this question is answered by understanding the source of the issue as well as the patient’s willingness to allow their body to heal
