Laser Therapy In Oklahoma City OK

Treatments are performed by positioning the laser hand-piece approximately 1/2" directly above the skin and surrounding the area of injury and pain with the laser treatment beam.

The Class IV Laser Therapy produces results quickly. For most ACUTE conditions, 5-6 treatments is all that is needed. CHRONIC conditions take longer and might require 6-12 treatments. While these are averages, each person is unique and healing time varies by person and condition. For those with lifelong conditions, your doctor may recommend 1 or 2 follow-up treatments each month.

Depending on the condition, treatment times for this drug-free, non-invasive procedure will last on average 5-10 minutes but is based on the size of area, depth of penetration needed and condition being treated.

Most patients notice a warm, often soothing feeling. There is no pain associated with treatment. Many patients also experience reduced muscle tension and tightness, reduced inflammation and improved range of motion.

The moment a person leaves the clinic, they may resume normal daily activity. It is important to remember to not overexert for a few days, as the body is healing.

Laser Therapy may not be covered by insurance plans. If insurance does not cover the cost of treatments, there are affordable payment plans available.

When the photons of laser light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue, they are absorbed by the cells, and converted into energy. The cell membrane permeability is altered, which triggers a cascade of cellular events including:

• Stimulation of ATP
• Stimulation of respiratory chain
• Increased DNA and RNA synthesis
• Increased levels of beta endorphins and serotonin
• Enhanced collagen synthesis

The treatment does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are no dangerous side effects or risks. In addition, Laser Therapy provides enhanced treatment outcomes faster than any other treatment modality.

Cold Laser Therapy (or LLLT - Low Level Light Therapy) was introduced into the USA in 2001 with low power levels. Since that time, new scientific and clinical discoveries have led to the development of the higher power lasers, including the new Class IV Laser Therapy.
