Support Healing With

Laser Therapy

Laser and light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the body’s healing and help manage pain, a gentle, drug-free tool within your therapy plan.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Is Laser & Light Therapy?

Laser (or light) therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cells, which can support tissue healing and help reduce pain and inflammation. It’s a painless, drug-free modality we use alongside hands-on care and exercise. Evidence is stronger for surface tissues and recovery than for deep injuries, so we use it as a complement, not a stand-alone treatment.

“Highest-quality people providing the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”

Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT, Founder & CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy
