Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to support the body’s natural recovery process. LightForce® Class IV laser therapy is also referred to as photobiomodulation (PBM), a process where light interacts with tissue to support cellular activity.
At iMotion Physical Therapy, laser therapy is offered as an add-on service and is most effective when used in conjunction with physical therapy as part of a complete plan of care.
What is Laser Therapy used for?
Laser therapy is commonly used across rehabilitation and sports medicine settings for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Your therapist will determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for your specific plan of care and goals.
What does Laser Therapy feel like?
Most patients describe laser therapy as comfortable. You may feel gentle warmth in the area being treated. LightForce notes that the primary safety risk is eye exposure, which is why protective eyewear is always required during treatment.
How long does Laser Therapy take?
Laser therapy sessions are typically short and targeted. Treatment usually takes only a few minutes, depending on the area being treated and the nature of the condition.
Because laser therapy delivers therapeutic energy efficiently, it can often be completed quickly within your visit.
How Laser Therapy fits into your plan of care
Laser therapy is not a replacement for physical therapy. It is used as an additional tool that may help improve comfort and support your ability to participate in movement-based treatment.
While laser therapy is encouraged in conjunction with physical therapy, anyone who is medically cleared may purchase laser therapy sessions, even if they are not currently receiving PT at iMotion.
Your therapist will guide you through a plan that may include:
- hands-on therapy (when appropriate)
- strengthening and mobility exercises
- movement retraining
- education for long-term results
