Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is the use of red and infrared light to eliminate pain, accelerate healing and decrease inflammation.
Hundreds of research studies have shown Laser Therapy to be safe and effective. Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic and non-thermal. Unlike other forms of radiation, Laser Therapy is beneficial rather than harmful to tissue.
Treatments are typically fifteen minutes to one hour depending on the condition and area being treated.
The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and the unique individual response to the treatment.

In some patients, 1 treatment is sufficient; however, on average, 3-25 treatments are required.
