HOW LIGHTFORCE LASER THERAPY WORKS

The laser therapy uses the process of photobiomodulation to bring relief. As the laser goes into the tissue, light-sensitive proteins inside of cells absorb the light particles. This event causes several chemical reactions that increase blood supply to the tissue and energy production inside the cells. The extra blood supply brings enzymes and nutrients that help reducepain.The increasedenergyproduction increasesproteinsynthesis, which helps the tissue repair itself over time. The treatment usually takes between 4 and 10 minutes. Immediately after the treatment, patients generally have decreased pain and increased range of motion that can last for several hours. The effects last longer and longer with repeated treatments until eventually there is no more pain in the area and the tissue is completely repaired. Though the deep laser therapy is new to Fyzical, many have already experienced the pain-relieving, healing benefits of these treatments. In only two treatment sessions, Jill K. noted resolution of a back pain that had been affecting all aspects of her daily functioning for weeks and had been treated by other medical professionals. Chris F. was among the first patients treated with laser therapy. He reported “After dealing with shoulder pain for months, I decided to try the laser treatments offered at Fyzical. The staff there did a great job explaining how the treatments were done, as well as the benefits. The treatment were painless, and after six treatments, I am pain free. I am so happy that I chose laser treatments over surgery, or pain medications.” Shawn M. had been treated for his rib pain by other medical professionals with no resolution until the laser treatment when his pain went from a 7/10 to 2/10 in just one treatment! The success stories go on and on! If you are one of the 76.2 million Americans who suffers from pain, give Fyzical a call today to schedule your deep laser therapy treatment. The first session is FREE! Additional sessions are offered at special Fyzical pricing. FYZICAL. Spelled different because we are different!

An insurance deductible is the amount of money that you must pay before your insurance company pays for your medical services. If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or completely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for Physical Therapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core? Let us help you get a head start for 2020. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
