Five Facts About Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

Here’s What You Need to Know

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, AKA photobiomodulation, is a great option for helping to reduce pain and inflammation related to many common conditions.

It is also frequently used by athletes of all kinds to aid with athletic recovery. Here in Amarillo, TX we are honored to treat a multitude of football players, rodeo athletes, volleyball players, track stars, pitchers, and many more. We do everything we can to get our players back to what they love!

There is a growing population of patrons from all over the Texas Panhandle who have experienced the power of laser therapy and its amazing therapeutic effects, but for those who haven’t here are five facts you should know about what we do at Impact Laser Therapy and Wellness:

1. It reduces pain and inflammation without side effects.

Laser therapy sends photons into tissue. These photons interact with the cytochrome c complex located in the mitochondra. The interaction triggers a biological cascade of healing events that lead to an increase in cellular metabolism and a decrease in both pain and inflammation. Unlike medications, laser therapy is able to accomplish this decrease in pain without undesirable side effects.

Patients of Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy report long-lasting pain relief. Although some conditions require more treatments than others, some experience lasting relief after only a couple of treatments.

2. It can be used for acute and chronic conditions.

Those using laser therapy to treat acute, or recently acquired, symptoms or injuries are particularly good candidates for laser therapy because sessions are particularly effective when administered as soon as possible after injury. The sooner the healing process can begin, the better. Laser therapy helps restore the body to normal function faster.

In chronic cases, the laser is helpful in combating persistent pain and inflammation.

3. Treatments can be customized to fit your specific need.

With a wide range of power options, our lasers can be set to operate from 0.5 W all the way up to 25 W depending on the condition being treated, the location of the pain, the chronicity of the problem, and the physical characteristics of the client.

Further, multiple treatment heads offer a range of flexibility allowing our technicians to ensure the delivery method is appropriately suited to the situation. Different sizes and shapes of treatment heads are advantageous for treatments that require varying levels of precision and control.

4. Treatments feel good.

Laser therapy creates a sensation of gentle, soothing, warmth. The experience is enjoyable, many clients consider their treatment a “laser massage” that they schedule on the regular!

Many patients experience rapid, immediate decrease in pain levels.

5. Treatments are Fast

With LightForce lasers, treatments are quick, usually 10-20 minutes for a single body part. At Impact, our sessions are scheduled for 30 minutes unless additional body parts are being lasered. High-power lasers are able to deliver a lot of energy in a small amount of time, so therapeutic dosages are achieved quickly. For people with packed schedules, fast and effective treatments are a must.
