Laser therapy is a pain free, and drug free treatment for acute and chronic pain. At Springfield Medical Center, we use a Class IV K-Laser, one of the most powerful lasers available.

During a laser treatment infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated, which accelerates the body’s natural healing process and alleviates pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laser therapy also called “Photobiomodulation” is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to produce a photochemical reaction to promote a therapeutic healing effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laser treatment is a revolutionary treatment for many acute and chronic pain conditions. The energy from certain wavelengths of light was first postulated by Albert Einstein and then approved as a therapeutic modality by the FDA in the 1970s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that certain wavelengths of laser light can penetrate deeply into bodily tissues and can stimulate cellular metabolism and function. The benefit is accelerated healing of injured muscles, tendons and joints; pain relief, and restoration of function.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser therapy is performed in our office, and each session only takes about 3-8 minutes. This procedure is painless, and quick. We can often offer same day treatments . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acute conditions typically require 6-8 visits, and on average, chronic conditions range from 8-10 visits. On average, most patients have 2 laser treatments per week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
