What is laser therapy? It is the use of specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions.

How does it work? Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.
