Non-Surgical Laser Therapy for Pain Management, Rehabilitation & Soft Tissue Recovery
Cape Spine & Disc Therapy Center proudly offers Class IV therapeutic laser therapy as a non-surgical, drug-free option for pain management, soft tissue recovery, inflammation, rehabilitation, and improved function.
“We are very excited to offer these treatments to our patients,” said Dr. Frank J. Mrazeck. “Laser therapy is an innovative drug-free and surgery-free option for many patients. The therapy laser that we invested in, the P4 Smart Laser by Summus Medical, is used by many health care providers and professional sports teams throughout the United States and the world.”
Low Level Laser Therapy, also referred to as LLLT or photobiomodulation therapy, may support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes in the presence of injury, sports-related strain, workout injuries, inflammation, and certain soft tissue conditions.
Laser therapy works by delivering light energy to targeted tissues. This light energy may stimulate cellular activity, support circulation, and help improve the exchange of nutrients and waste products across cell membranes. These effects may support tissue recovery, rehabilitation, and improved comfort.
Laser therapy may also help modulate pain and reduce inflammation. It may be incorporated into care plans for acute injuries, chronic complaints, arthritis-related joint discomfort, soft tissue injuries, and rehabilitation support.
Laser therapy has been studied in a variety of clinical settings. Published research has evaluated laser therapy for pain management, inflammation, tissue recovery, and rehabilitation-related conditions. Results vary based on the condition being treated, the treatment parameters used, and the individual patient.
Clinical studies have evaluated Low Level Laser Therapy for several biological responses. Depending on the condition and treatment approach, research has explored possible effects such as:
General Motors conducted a 36-week double-blind study using the ML830® laser to evaluate non-invasive conjunctive therapy for workers with carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Among the 166 workers who entered the program, those treated with the active laser showed improvement in grip strength and range of motion when compared with workers treated with placebo lasers. A medical school in Houston conducted a similar double-blind study in 1998 that reported improvement in the active treatment group. (source: microlightcorp.com)
Medical researchers began studying laser biostimulation in the late 1960s with low-powered laser beams that produced non-thermal effects on human tissue. Early reported cases involved slow-healing ulcers. Continued research has explored how low-level laser therapy, or LLLT, may interact with soft tissue, cellular energy production, and inflammatory response.
Soft tissue trauma may involve damage to sensitive layers beneath the skin, including muscle, nerve, lymphatic, and vascular tissue. LLLT may help improve comfort and function through multiple mechanisms, including support for fluid movement, circulation, and cellular response.
Laser therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans for arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, soft tissue injuries, inflammation, neuropathy-related discomfort, and rehabilitation needs. Your recommended care plan will depend on your condition, health history, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Patients from Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, Georgetown, and surrounding Sussex County communities visit Cape Spine & Disc Therapy Center for non-surgical pain relief options, including Class IV Laser Therapy.
Class IV Laser Therapy uses concentrated light energy that may support circulation, tissue recovery, rehabilitation, inflammation reduction, and pain management.
Most patients report little or no discomfort during treatment. Treatment recommendations depend on the condition being addressed and the patient’s health history.
Laser therapy may be used for arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, back pain, neck pain, inflammation, and rehabilitation support.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, the condition being addressed, and the patient’s treatment plan.
