Laser Therapy

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is an FDA-approved medical treatment that offers patients a non- invasive way to relieve persistent forms of pain. Laser therapy stimulates the process of cellular structure using light focused with special equipment. This type of therapy treats cells by tapping into cellular mitochondria and setting off biological chain reactions. During this process, photons from the focused light penetrate the Cytochrome C complex inside of the cellular mitochondria, creating reactions that lead to a wide range of health benefits including improved microcirculation to injured tissue, reduced pain, minimization of muscle spasms, and general increases in cellular metabolism.

Comprehensive Spine Center of Dallas is now offering deep tissue laser therapy that helps reduce pain and inflammation, which will be followed by a treatment plan appropriate for your medical needs.

Treatment Solutions

Laser therapy is used to treat acute and chronic conditions as well as post-activity recovery. It is also used as another option to prescription drugs, a tool to prolong the need for some surgeries, as well as pre and post- surgery treatment to help control pain and swelling.

Acute Conditions

Therapy lasers for acute conditions are particularly effective when administered as soon as the injury has occurred (assuming there is no active hemorrhaging). Bringing pain under control quickly helps the healing process and usually helps promote better outcomes.

Chronic Conditions

With chronic conditions, research has shown that therapy lasers can be used to help combat persistent pain and promote circulation to damaged tissues. It can be a powerful, non- pharmaceutical solution to reduce pain without the side effects of medication.

Post-Activity Recovery

Laser Therapy can be found on the sidelines of many pro, college, and Olympic sports teams across the United States and many parts of Europe and Asia. Laser therapy has been shown to improve post-activity recovery times and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

What Type of Laser is used in our Facility?

Comprehensive Spine Center uses a Class IV Laser with our deep tissue therapy. Our Class IV Laser is the most technologically advanced laser that provides the highest wattage. Higher wattage also results in faster treatment times and provides changes in pain complaints that are unachievable with low power lasers. Class IV therapy lasers provide more energy to deep structures in less time. This ultimately assists in providing an energy dose that results in positive, reproducible outcomes.
